Synopsis:

Federal Historic Preservation Laws contains 24 Federal laws and portions of laws that pertain to the preservation of the nation’s cultural heritage. Arranged chronologically, the laws trace the evolution of historic preservation philosophy and programs.  The 20th century saw the establishment of the National Park Service and its development as the Federal government’s lead organization for preserving the nation’s cultural heritage.  Starting in 1935 with the Historic Sites Act, the National Park Service initiated the national survey and documentation of important examples of historic and archeological sites, buildings, and objects throughout the United States. Passage of the National Historic Preservation Act in 1966 expanded preservation benefits to communities nationwide and to American Indian tribes and other cultural groups. Federal laws also recognize that many Federal agencies’ work affects historic properties through outright ownership of historic and prehistoric properties. Additional Federal laws address specific types of historic and cultural resources, including abandoned shipwrecks, Native American cultural items, and battlefields on American soil.
