Introduction: "This End of Year Report summarizes the accomplishments and challenges of the Palau Register Section and the BAC Research Library. It encompasses a range of little efforts made towards the education and awareness of Palau's registered sites, effectiveness of the Library, and the Section's role and responsibility." Overview: "Established in 1974 by the Historic Preservation Act, Palau Register of Historic Places became an integral part of historic preservation in Palau. It is the official inventory of the nation's registered cultural and historic resources. Its expansion and maintenance was authorized by the Historic Preservation Act of 1978... The Palau Register is the legal instrument to ensure that registered properties or properties that may be eligible, threatened by public or private development will be subject to comment and review in accordance with the procedures prescribed by law." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Palau Historic Preservation Office, Bureau of Arts and Culture, Ministry of Community & Cultural Affairs, administered by the Pacific Wes Regional Office, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
