The Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) began during the Great Depression in December 1933, when Charles E. Peterson of the National Park Service submitted a proposal for one thousand out-of-work architects to spend ten weeks documenting "America's antique buildings." Having operated under various administrative authorities for its first two years, HABS became a permanent program of the National Park Service in July 1934 and was formally authorized by Congress as part of the Historic Sites Act of 1935. The Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) was founded in 1969 to parallel HABS, providing for documentation of engineering works and industrial sites.

The records of the Historic American Building Survey and Historic American Engineering Record document achievements in architecture, engineering, and design in Montana through a comprehensive range of building types and engineering technologies including examples as diverse as the Pioneer Historic District, Zimmerman Homestead, Isaac Eddy Ranch, Crow Agency Historic Complex, Hamilton Post Office, Thomas Francis Meagher House, Pine Creek Bridge, Mullan Road Segment, Hauser Hydroelectric Facility, and the Glenn Lake Irrigation District, Grave Creek Dam.

Some records can also be found online through the Library of Congress.

Microfiche is arranged by Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) survey numbers and then by Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) Survey numbers.
