Which resources would be helpful in finding information about buildings in Omaha. Both Historic and other info such as works by architect, neighborhood development etc. I'm investigating developing an image database for the art history department
I can get you started with this. One place you might look is the Nebraska Historical Society's Reconnaissance Surveys for Omaha. They can be found here: http://www.nebraskahistory.org/histpres/reports/
Finally, you should try Historic American Buildings Survey from the Library of Congress. http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/hh/ If you run a search for "omaha" and then select the box "surveys only" you can often get quite a bit of info on the buildings such as the architectural drawings.
Hopefully this will get you started. I will also let Jim Shaw, our history librarian know about your question. He may have additional information.
