National Register Guide, Episode13: Who Nominates a Property?
Channel: National Trust for Historic Preservation
Date: 2015-09-22

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 12 of our National Register of Historic Places Guide examined a number of printed and online reference materials that should help you develop a well-rounded National Register submission. 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.
