Basics of the Nomination Form

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 Five dives into the basics of filling out a National Register nomination form, and answers questions like:

• Do I need to be an expert in history or historic preservation to complete a National Register nomination form?
• What is the purpose of the National Register nomination form?
• What information is included on the National Register nomination form?
• What is the main focus of the National Register nomination form?
• Is the National Register nomination form just a history of the property?

We hope you enjoy the show.
