Summary<\/h3>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Created by NJ AI Assistant (GPT-4o) and edited by NJHPO staff.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner el_class=”hpo-callout-text”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”hpo-intro-paragraph”]This white paper offers guidance on creating a historic context for evaluating properties for the National Register of Historic Places. It highlights the importance of understanding a property’s significance within geographical, historical and thematic contexts. NPS encourages creativity and solid research for developing a useful context.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]The following are key components of a historic context:<\/p>\n\nThe Statement of Context<\/dfn> summarizes the significant themes, time periods, and geographic areas.<\/li>\nBackground History<\/dfn> provides an overview of the area’s history, focusing on its connection to the property.<\/li>\nThe Definition of the Context<\/dfn> outlines the thematic, temporal, and geographic parameters of the significance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe development of the theme should consider environmental, economic, cultural, technological and other factors that influenced its evolution. NPS discusses identifying Associated Property Types<\/dfn>, which are specific property types related to the theme.<\/p>\nOverall, the paper emphasizes clarity and precision:<\/p>\n
\nHistoric contexts should be concise, focusing on relevant information.<\/li>\n Geographic parameters should be well-justified, while temporal limits are based on significant events or developments.<\/li>\n Physical characteristics and integrity are important in determining eligibility. Clearly address their relationship to National Register Criteria.<\/li>\n Support the main content with a bibliography that reflects the research and sources used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nNPS states that this information has limited application to archaeological resources. Instead, read the National Register Bulletin Guidelines for Evaluating and Registering Archeological Properties.<\/cite>[\/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”]<\/p>\n\nIntroduction<\/li>\n General Approach for Evaluating Integrity<\/li>\n Relationship to Qualifying National Register Criteria and Criteria Consideration G\n\nContinuing significance<\/li>\n Significance for Design<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n Impact of Additions and Accretions on Historic Integrity\n\nCompatibility<\/li>\n Accurate Representation<\/li>\n Protection of Significant Features and Reversability[sic?]<\/li>\n Visibility<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n Some General Principles to Follow<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/info-box-shortcode][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_id=”end-spacer”][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”4vw”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
