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 Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to “expand and maintain a National Register of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering and culture” (54 U.S.C. § 302102, emphasis added). National Register Bulletin 15: How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation (Criteria Bulletin) provides guidance to support the preparation of nominations under Criterion A not only for properties significant for “a specific event marking an important moment in American prehistory or history,” but also for “a pattern of events, repeated activities, or historic trends” (Criteria Bulletin, p. 12). This issue of the Best Practices Review discusses the wide reach of Criterion A and offers examples of properties listed for their historical cultural significance.[/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”]
