Who Officially Nominates a Property?

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 13 explains exactly who can officially nominate a property, and the path a nomination takes to get to the National Register. This episode answers specific questions such as:

• What entities can officially nominate a property to the National Register?
• Which entities are responsible for nominating which properties?
• Does every state have a state historic preservation office?
• What is the role of each state's National Register Coordinator?
• What is the role of the State Historic Preservation Review Board?

We hope you enjoy the show.
