The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation's historic places worthy of preservation. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America's historic and archeological resources.

National Register Review Checklists: items we look for when we review each nomination.
Technical Review Checklist / Substantive Checklist

We have modified form 10-900, but it still follows the basic directions from NR Bulletin How to Complete the National Register Registration Form bulletin (formerly known as bulletin 16A). Now both Sections 7 and 8 provide space for summary paragraphs as described in 16A. The narrative description and statement of significance text spaces are continuous (with automatic page numbering), eliminating the need for continuation sheets.

If you prefer to use continuation sheets you can continue to do so. If you use continuation sheets please paginate as you have in the past (Section Number 7 Page 1..., Section Number 8 page 1... etc) or make sure the section is correct and set your word processor to paginate at the bottom starting with the next page after completing form 10-900 (probably page 9). To change the header on the continuation sheet, just double click in the header section.
For any comments or questions on the form(s) please e-mail or call Lisa Deline (202) 354-2239.
