RESEARCH TOOLS
PASADENA CITY LINKS
California Historical Resources Inventory Database (CHRID)
The first stop for research on historic properties in Pasadena. All designated properties within the city limits will be included, as well as many other eligible buildings that have been documented. The search function can be a bit meddlesome, but we have found that not including “N/S” in the street names pulls up more results.
Pasadena Interactive Zoning Map
Clickable map that provides up-to date zoning of the whole city.
DIGITAL ARCHIVES
The Huntington Library Digital Archives
Photographs, maps, prints, and architectural resources with an extensive collection covering early Pasadena.
Library of Congress Digital Archives
Although the Library of Congress has a more national focus, there are over 3,600 high quality historic photos of Pasadena digitized online. A great source for images.
