Evaluating Historic Integrity

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 Nine goes one step further by explaining how to evaluate the historic integrity of a site as it relates to its significance. This episode answers specific questions such as:

• How is historic integrity defined?
• How many aspects of historic integrity are properties evaluated under?
• Are any aspects of historic integrity more important than others?
• How does the historic integrity of a site relate to its historic significance?

We hope you enjoy the show.
