| **Park and Historic  Preservation Laws**

The new edition of Federal   Historic Preservation Laws includes 23 Federal laws and portions of laws that   pertain to the preservation of the Nation's cultural heritage. Arranged chronologically,   the laws trace the evolution of historic preservation and cultural resource   management philosophy from the Antiquities Act of 1906 through the American   Battlefield Protection Act of 1996. The laws laid the foundation for the National   Park Service as the lead Federal preservation agency and for the national historic   preservation partnership that includes NPS, other Federal agencies, Tribal Preservation   Offices, State Historic Preservation Offices, Certified Local Governments, and   private organizations. The publication includes changes to the laws through   December 2001.
