2017-2022 Kansas Preservation Plan

From Plan Development: "This document is the result of a planning process initiated by the Kansas Historical Society's Cultural Resources Division (CRD) with input from a variety of state and federal agencies, preservation organizations, and the public. The CRD, which compromises the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), Archaeology, and the State Historic Sites, helps preserve the state's archaeological, architectural, and historic resources by identifying, documenting, interpreting, and protecting those resources and by fostering the public's stewardship of the state's rich cultural heritage through technical assistance, grants-in-aids, and educational and outreach activities. The division implements the federal-state historic preservation program established by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) as well as state-based activities authorized by the 1977 state historic preservation law, the 1990 Heritage Trust Fund act, the Kansas Antiquities Commission act, the Unmarked Burial Sites preservation law, the 2001 state rehabilitation tax credit law, and other related federal laws and regulations. Operations of the divisions are funded from numerous sources including federal, state, and fee funds. Many other organizations carry out preservation programs in Kansas; more information on those that participated in this plan and their preservation programs is presented on the following pages. Each year the CRD staff members meet or speak with thousands of constituents. These contacts range from simple phone conversations to site visits to formal presentations at conferences, workshops, and focus groups. The division uses the information from these contacts to develop its programs to meet constituent needs and to also create the current preservation plan..." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Kansas Historical Society administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
