The digital images in this feature represent a small fraction of the graphic records in the HABS and HAER collections. They were selected as a sampling of the depth and breadth of the collections and the great variety of structures recorded therein. Many of the structures are still in everyday use; others are gone. One, St. Michael's Cathedral in Alaska, was destroyed in a fire and reconstructed using HABS drawings.
