What is the National Historic Landmarks Assistance Initiative?

Once designated, the National Park Service commits to assist in the preservation of these irreplaceable properties through the National Historic Landmarks Assistance Initiative. The Assistance Initiative promotes the preservation of National Historic Landmarks through technical assistance to their stewards—owners, managers, and friends groups—and education of the general public about the importance of National Historic Landmarks.

  The National Park Service works with partners such as other federal agencies, state governments, Indian tribes, local governments, colleges and universities, private organizations and individuals, and nonprofit organizations such as the National Park Foundation, the National Parks and Conservation Association, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation to educate and assist the public in preserving its historic heritage.
