About

Listing a property in the National Register of Historic Places is an intensive process. National Register nominations are part collegiate-level research paper and part cultural resources survey. Navigating the forms, instructions, and approvals can be a challenge, but the National Register co-coordinators at the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) are here to guide you on your way to a successful nomination. Although the National Register is a federal program, and the listing of properties ultimately falls to the National Park Service (NPS), the SHPO shepherds nominations through most of the listing process.
