Visit the Save America's Treasures site and search for your state. If no projects are underway nearby, consult with school and community officials about whether you can register a worthy community project for the program. Eligible projects directly relate to the preservation, restoration or conservation of historic buildings, sites, documents, artifacts, objects, or to education activities supporting such projects. Selection criteria include, but are not limited to, the historic, cultural or architectural significance of the project.
