Preparing a Press Release
Now that your property is listed in the National Register of
Historic Places, you may want to write a press release so the
local newspaper can share the good news. We have provided a
standard paragraph below with general information about the
National Register program to include in your release:
The National Register of Historic Places is the official federal list
of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects significant in American
history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture. These contribute
to an understanding of the historical and cultural foundations of the nation.
Authorized under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National
Register is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and
private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect our historic and archeological
resources. The National Park Service provides overall program administration. The
Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (OAHP) in History Colorado, the
Colorado Historical Society, administers the register in Colorado. OAHP assists
property owners in listing Colorado’s most historically and architecturally
significant buildings, structures, and sites in the National Register of Historic
Places and the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties. In Colorado there
are over 1,300 properties listed in the National Register and over 1,800 listed in
the State Register. Properties listed in the National or State Registers may be
eligible for investment tax credits or for grants from the State Historical Fund,
another program of History Colorado. OAHP staff is available to assist with the
initial assessments of eligibility and to provide guidance in the completion of
Register nominations.
Should you have any questions, please contact the National Register staff
at the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (303-866-3392).
