Excerpt from Introduction

[/vc_column_text][vc_message color=”warning” message_box_color=”warning” icon_fontawesome=”” css=””]This publication compliments the guidance provided in National Register Bulletins by providing examples on specific topics.[/vc_message][vc_row_inner el_class=”hpo-callout-text”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”hpo-intro-paragraph”]The National Register is a Federal planning tool. To be an effective tool, the National Register should be kept up to date. The earliest nominations to the National Register of Historic Places were submitted in 1969, three years after the program was codified in the National Historic Preservation Act. Between the law’s enactment and the first nominations, the National Park Service developed regulations, created a standard form, and provided instructions to the newly created state liaison offices (today’s State Historic Preservation Offices). Over time, documentation standards for nominations evolved and understanding of historical significance broadened. As the program matured, some areas of significance were dropped and new ones were added.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Older nominations, especially those from the earliest decades of the program, are often deficient by today’s standards. In many cases, boundaries are ill-defined, descriptions are vague, or resource inventories are lacking. Potential additional criteria, areas of significance, or periods of significance may have been overlooked. In some situations, properties may have physically changed since their initial listing. Nomination documentation for a listed property may be amended to more accurately present a property’s historic significance and physical characteristics and condition.[/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”]
