Staff worked within the Division of Planning, which was later renamed the Office of Comprehensive Planning. In 1984, the county’s archaeological, historical and architectural resources staff were consolidated into the Heritage Resources Branch within the Fairfax County Office of Comprehensive Planning. The County Executive dismantled the Heritage Resources Branch during the County Budget for FY 1996. The archaeology department staff transferred to the Fairfax County Park Authority; the historic buildings survey, architectural review, and historic district zoning staff were reassigned within the Office of Comprehensive Planning; and the historical research and publications program was completely eliminated. The changes took effect on July 1, 1996. As of 2019, the Fairfax County Office of Comprehensive Planning is known as the Department of Planning and Zoning.","The Fairfax County Office of Comprehensive Planning Heritage Resources Branch Slide Collection consists of 940 slides depicting mostly historic Fairfax County structures spanning the years 1967-1993.
