The World War II Home Front National Historic Landmark Theme Study provides a historic context and identifies property types and registration requirements for National Historic Landmark designation and listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The theme study is part of a larger NPS commitment to studying the role of the Home Front during World War II and to recognizing the accomplishments of the Home Front generation. 

Legislation that established the Rosie the Riveter World War II Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond, California

  also called for NPS to complete a national theme study on the Home Front to assist in identifying nationally significant sites. The study will also assist park planners in developing the nationally significant interpretive themes for the park as well as help other NPS planners and other partners in understanding the significance of the Home Front related sites across the nation.
