ARCHIVES & ARCHITECTURE, LLC is a cultural resources management firm, headquartered in San Jose, California, with a satellite office in Santa Cruz, California.

Established in 1989 by the late Glory Anne Laffey, Historian, the firm’s managing partners today include Franklin Maggi, Architectural Historian, Leslie Dill, Historic Architect, and Charlene Duval, Public Historian.  With over a decade of working together as a team, the present partners have built ARCHIVES & ARCHITECTURE, LLC into one of the most well-respected cultural resources management firms in Northern California.

Formed to provide professional cultural resource management in the San Francisco and Monterey Bay Areas, ARCHIVES & ARCHITECTURE serves public agencies, private businesses and individuals with technical historical preservation services within the field of urban planning.

Our experience ranges from large-scale comprehensive resource surveys and context statements to intensive historic property assessments, and has included consulting design review of architectural projects using the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.

We have established in-house standards for work in each of these disciplines, and have assembled a team with a proven level of experience in a variety of fields. The firm engages specialized local historians, technical editors, and authors as collaborators on our historical projects, to ensure accurate investigations that are relevant to local settings. 

The surveys and assessment work have proven successful as effective planning tools within the government regulatory environment.
