Supplemental Manual for Completing a National Register Nomination Form

Fiore, Jamee

Introduction: "This manual is intended to provide guidance in the preparation of the National Register of historic Places nomination forms in the State of Idaho. Use this manual as a supplement to the information found in National Register Bulletin: How to Complete the National Register Registration Form. This manual provides information specific to the nomination process in Idaho and is not intended to replace the National ark Service publication or any other National Register bulletins. If the reader does not have Bulletin: How to Complete the National Register Registration Form (How to Complete), she/he should obtain it prior to proceeding further. This manual provides necessary information to complete the National Register of Historic Places Registration Form (NPS Form 10-900). The manual is intended for professional consultants, researchers, writers, and other members of the public. Because the National Register is extremely demanding and the nomination process quite rigorous, non-professionals often have difficulty preparing nominations. For this reason, the SHPO suggests that those unfamiliar with the process might wish to secure the services of an experienced preparer (contact the SHPO office for a list of nomination preparers). This is not to say that non-professionals may not undertake the preparation of a nomination themselves; the SHPO staff will work with a property owner to complete the process, but please be aware that this course of action generally results in additional time to complete the nomination - often many months. A list of required items for submission of a nomination to the NRHP is included in this manual. It includes a section-by-section discussion and direction on how to complete the document, corresponding to each section of the National Register 10-900 form. Finally, the manual includes several appendices with additional information referenced in the text of the manual. Please read this document thoroughly before you begin to prepare a National Register nomination, and consult it continually as you work on the document. The directions in this manual, as well as those in 'How to Complete', must be followed exactly. This is critical in order for staff to review the nominations and schedule them for the Idaho State Historic Sites Review Board as quickly as possible. Documents not complying with this manual and Bulletin will be returned to the preparer for corrections." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Idaho State Historic Preservation Office, Idaho State Historical Society, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior (grant number P17AF00026).
