Our Mission

The mission of the Raleigh Historic Development Commission is to identify, preserve, protect, and promote Raleigh’s historic resources.

Community Awareness

RHDC seeks to raise Raleigh's community awareness of its rich historic resources. From 2008  to 2014 RHDC held Community Conversations, a lecture and workshop series on historic preservation issues. Leading experts on historic preservation, economics, and historic districts visited Raleigh to share their knowledge in the context of Raleigh's historic landscape. Links to video are below.

RALEIGH HISTORIC Mobile App

RaleighHistoric is RHDC's mobile application featuring Raleigh's built heritage and landscapes. Supported by Curatescape, the app curates the landscape through the use of geo-located historical text and images. Users can see what historic resources are located nearby, take self-guided themed tours, or browse a map of pinpointed locations all from their smartphones. 

Curatescape is compatible with iOS and Android devices and includes a companion website that is available from any web browser, via smartphone or home computer.
