National Performance Review of the Historic Preservation Fund Partnerships
Historic Preservation Performance Review Committee. 1994. National Performance Review of the Historic Preservation Fund Partnerships. Washington, D.C.
Twenty-eight years ago, the Federal government declared the protection of historic properties to be national policy. The National historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended, created a national historic preservation partnership among the Federal government, the States, local governments, Native American Tribes, and the private sector. The work achieved through this partnership has led to substantial success in identifying and protecting the nation's significant historic places. Hundreds of thousands of historic resources have been listed in Federal, State, and local registers. Federal, State, and local governments have established a variety of financial incentive programs as well as regulatory protection programs. Existing private preservation groups have grown, and new ones have come into being to influence public policy, to maintain historic properties, and to provide assistance to other historic property owners. In short, this partnership has moved the nation toward a preservation ethic that addresses an ever-broadening array of resources that tell the story of all Americans.
