Executive Summary In conjunction with its regular quarterly meeting, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) hosted a summit meeting of Federal agencies November 14, 2002, to discuss cultural heritage tourism. Many Federal agencies are already supporting heritage tourism in various ways through their missions and programs. This meeting provided an opportunity for comparing notes on these activities, and to begin discussing ways to improve the coordination and consistency of such efforts.

This ACHP report from 1979 contains formulas and models for assessing the potential value of historic preservation in terms of energy conservation. Three case studies examine disparate property types - an early federal housing project, a commercial complex, and a adaptively used carriage house - and the report provides readers with tools for undertaking such analysis. The report documents how rehabilitation of historic buildings can produce significant energy conservation benefits over the life of the buildings.

Answers to common questions about the use of the Program Comment for Federal Communications Projects

Treaties From 1778 to 1871, the federal government’s relations with Indian Tribes were defined and conducted largely through the treaty-making process. These treaties recognized the sovereignty of Indian Tribes. They also established unique sets of rights, benefits, and conditions for the treaty-making Tribes that agreed to cede millions of acres of their homelands to the United States in return for recognition of property rights in land and resources and federal protections.

What is the ACHP Native Youth Program? In 2015, the ACHP launched a Native Youth Program in response to concerns of tribal representatives that not enough Native youth knew about historic preservation. The program’s primary goal is to generate interest in historic preservation in general, and help the next generation of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers, tribal and NHO representatives, and Native citizens support the preservation of their resources and important places.

The ACHP often receives inquiries regarding timing: more specifically, when do an agency’s “project planning activities” require Section 106 review? Courts have yet to rule directly on the issue, as case law to date focuses on compliance that comes “too late,” rather than sufficiently early. Awareness of the relevant regulations and approaches to answering such a question better positions agencies to avoid unnecessary delays later on.
