National Register Guide, Episode 10: 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 PreservationNation blog has teamed up with Jim Gabbert, a historian with the National Park Service, to create our National Register Guide.
Episode Nine of our National Register of Historic Places Guide shared how to evaluate the historic integrity of a site as it relates to its significance. 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.
