Advisory Council on Historic Preservation

In March 2014, the ACHP published Managing Change: Preservation and Rightsizing in America, a report addressing rightsizing and historic preservation in America's legacy cities .It offers community leaders, local stakeholders, and government agencies valuable suggestions on using historic preservation tools and techniques that have proven effective in managing change and building strong, resilient communities.

This ACHP report from 1981 examines historic preservation tools that can be used to protect and revitalize neighborhoods. The study looks at: historic district ordinances; federal environmental review laws (including Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act); code enforcement; easements; revolving funds; property tax relief; federal tax incentives; and federal and nonprofit assistance.

Mrs. Laura Bush, honorary chair of the Preserve America initiative, led a national Preserve America Summit October 18-20, 2006, in New Orleans, Louisiana, marking the 40th anniversary of the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation was a partner and served as Summit coordinator. In August 2007, the ACHP issued recommendations based on the issues raised at the Summit.

The field of historic preservation is broad and multi-disciplinary!

Overview The regulations implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act specify that when commenting on an undertaking affecting a National Historic Landmark, the ACHP may request a report from the Secretary of the Interior under Section 213 of the Act to assist it in the consultation. The preparation of these reports, like other functions assigned to the Secretary under the Act, is carried out by the National Park Service (NPS) on the Secretary’s behalf.
