Territory of Guam Historical Preservation Plan (1972) (draft)

Carano, Paul; Birkedal, Terje; Johnson, Emily

From the Introduction: "On June 12, 1972, Guam received notification of the possibility of a federal grant-in-aid from the National Park Service under the Historical Preservation Act of 1966. With a deadline of July 1, 1972 to submit a preliminary draft of our historical preservation program, this work is, therefore, by no means completed. We expect to revise the plan greatly, and thus do not wish this draft to be construed as an indication of the eventual quality we will expect our final program to have. Major revision is necessary to meet even our own standards, much less those of the National Service. ...Many portions of this plan were taken of this plan were taken from other works. Among these were the National Park Service's master plans for the Guam National Seashore, and the War in the Pacific National Historical Park, Johnsrud's 'Outdoor Recreation on Guam', and Beaty's 'Discovering Guam', among others the fine illustrations were from the 'Pacific Vision', and Alec Stern's 'Guam, USA.' We are certain that all persons whose works were used as references in this program plan would support this effort at a beginning of a historical preservation program for Guam." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Guam Historic Preservation Office, Department of Parks and Recreation, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grant Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
