Your State as a Resource

As fantastic as it is, the National Register of Historic Places can get a little confusing—even for a seasoned pro. But fear not, because the National Trust teamed up with Jim Gabbert, a historian with the National Park Service, to create our National Register of Historic Places Guide.

Episode Ten explains what types of resources your state historic preservation office (SHPO) can provide to help you with your goal of completing a National Register nomination.

This episode answers specific questions such as:

• Can the SHPO help with my National Register nomination?
• What kind of information does a SHPO usually have?
• Are there any other ways a SHPO can help me complete the National Register nomination form?
• Does every SHPO have a process for helping with National Register nominations?
• Can I use any information already gathered by the SHPO on my National Register nomination form?

We hope you enjoy the show.
