Summary

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Created by NJ AI Assistant (GPT-4o) and edited by NJHPO staff.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner el_class=”hpo-callout-text”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”hpo-intro-paragraph”]This E-Blast starts with several updates from the National Register program. It begins by announcing the resumption of these periodic updates after a break during a lapse in appropriations, expressing gratitude for the support from state and federal partners. It also pays tribute to William J. Murtagh, Jr., the first Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places, who passed away at age 95. Murtagh was a pioneering figure in historic preservation, having established a strong foundation for the program and later contributing to education and scholarship in the field.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Among the practical tips and resources, NPS shares a reminder to send correspondence to the correct address within the National Register program to avoid misdirected mail. In a discussion of National Register documentation, NPS emphasizes the importance of current photography, especially for properties undergoing changes.

A theme study on Asian American and Pacific Islander National Historic Landmarks is now available, which can aid in addressing gaps in representation among listings.

Additionally, there’s guidance on when Criterion Consideration A for religious properties is needed in Historic District nominations, and information on including federal buildings in nominations. Miscellaneous tips include templates for property removal requests and forms for state and federal agency certification. Lastly, NPS reminds readers to be considerate of state reviewers, suggesting that submitters facilitate the process by sending complete nomination pages.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1758815062001{margin-bottom: 32px !important;}”][info-box-shortcode icon=”fa fa-solid fa-rectangle-list” title=”Table of Contents”]
