HABS/HAER/HALS Documentations from 2017 and 2018

***2017 and 2018 have been busy and diverse years of Historic American Buildings Surveys (HABS) and Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) projects all over California, and even in Hawaii and Guam. I thought I'd share a selection of my favorite large format negatives from the last couple years. Of course these are only the ones I can share now, some very cool projects are under wraps until the projects are over. I'll share them here when they are ready for the public domain.
