National Historic Landmark Special Studies
In addition to theme studies which establish a national historic context and study list of potential NHLs, the NHL Program undertakes other special studies as the need arises to understand the context for a specific topic or group of properties. These studies can range from extensive contextual studies on an important aspect of American history to resource guides giving brief descriptions of current and potential NHLs.
