About New South Associates (NSA)
New South Associates (NSA) has conducted over 5,500 cultural resource management projects across the United States and Caribbean since our founding in 1988.
New South Associates is a community of professionals that study culture. We research, excavate, measure, read, and listen to the information that individuals, documents, and artifacts tell us about the past. Our passion is bringing together these pieces into a story that enlivens our collective knowledge of American culture in our home communities, states, regions, and country. In our over 35 years of experience, we have honed our technical skills producing thousands of professionally prepared technical reports and documentations including HABS, HAER and HALS deliverables. We believe in well written and illustrated reports that reflect new technologies and ways to communicate results. We are equally proud to note that our work has expanded beyond technical reports into popular reports, brochures, interpretive signs and posters, conferences and public addresses, videos, websites, and professional journals and books.
