Series of California Office of Historic Preservation Historic Resources Inventory worksheets prepared for the City of San Jose by Glory Ann Laffey and the firm Archives & Architecture in 1992 as part of the city's Historic Resources Inventory Survey Phase II.

According to the City of San Jose's website, the first City of San Jose inventory was conducted in 1975, followed by a downtown-specific survey in 1977. The San Jose Historic Resources Inventory (HRI) was established by the City Council in 1986 under Resolution #58957. The HRI is a resource document of identified and listed historic properties used for conducting review of planning entitlement requests under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and is also used as a resource document for the potential designation of City Landmarks and Historic Districts. Both the Historic Landmarks Commission and Historic Preservation Officer are authorized to maintain the HRI, and under the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance the Historic Preservation Officer is responsible for its maintenance. Archives & Architecture is a longstanding cultural and historic resources consultancy firm located in San Jose. Glory Ann Laffey, the author of the inventory worksheets in this collection, was a local historian who authored the City of San Jose's 1992 historic context statement, "Overview and Historical Context for the City of San Jose."
