Montana's Shared Heritage: Third Biennial Report on the Status, Condition, and Stewardship of Montana’s State-owned Heritage Properties
CTA Design. 2016. Montana's Shared Heritage: Third Biennial Report on the Status, Condition, and Stewardship of Montana’s State-owned Heritage Properties. Montana Historic Preservation Review Board; Montana Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office
From Executive Summary: "This third biennial report to the Montana State Legislature fulfills the intent of the 2011 revisions to MCA 22-3-422, 22-3-423, and 22-3-424. This report is based upon the information submitted by twelve state agencies that manage heritage properties on state-owned land, and provides insightful information regarding their administration, interpretation, and operation. In assessing the strategies employed by the agencies, the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the Montana Historic Preservation Review Board (Board) have articulated seven critical findings about the current state of property stewardship and generated three primary recommendations for continued state improvement. In this reporting cycle, all twelve state agencies submitted reports, providing for a comprehensive understanding of the state’s heritage properties and their management. The 371 state-owned properties reported on in 2016 are comprised of an estimated 1,000 individual contributing resources. Of these, state agencies reported fourteen as endangered. Increasingly improved consultation between state agencies and the SHPO continues to be necessary to address these and other properties. The agencies that have engaged experienced cultural resource personnel demonstrate exemplary proactive management of their heritage properties. This level of expertise should be inculcated throughout all the state agencies." Funding was provided in part by a 2017 Historic Preservation Fund grant administered by the Montana Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office (project number MT-17-003, grant number P17AF00012) and the State, Tribal, Local, Plans & Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
