Portland publishes digitized historic-preservation records and searchable PDFs
Summary
Portland staff released a major update to the city's historic-preservation website, posting digitized 1990s-era survey forms and high-resolution photos and adding searchable PDFs and district boundary maps to aid applicants and researchers.
Portland Historic Preservation staff announced an update to the city's historic-preservation website that makes digitized designation survey forms, historic photos and district boundary maps available online.
The upgrade, which staff said was two years in the making, stems from a certified local government grant awarded by the Maine Historic Preservation Commission in May 2023. Preservation staff told the board the digitization of paper records finished in September 2024 and the scanned files have now been organized into street- and district-level PDFs that applicants can access on demand.
