With the help of two grants from the Campus Heritage Initiative of the Getty Foundation, the Council of Independent Colleges has developed a database, the Historic Campus Architecture Project (HCAP), that organizes university sites of historic, architectural, and educational significance by type, style, designer, function, and time period. HCAP currently hosts information for buildings at nearly 400 participating institutions of higher learning, and will continue to grow through an ongoing application process developed to ensure the inclusion of significant collegiate buildings and building clusters, landscapes, and campus master plans.
