States (SHPOs and Statewide Nonprofits)
The purpose of this assignment is to find good examples of how:
- State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPO)
are conducting their NHPA-mandated work and non-mandated (elective)
initiatives.
- Statewide Nonprofits are addressign state needs
with specific initiatives.
Choose two (2) of your adopted
states.
Preview the Initiatives list and
consider the scope of initiatives defining preservation. This list
is intended to provide you with the vast range of initiatives, only
a few of which any particular state may be addressing.
State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPO)
State historic preservation offices (SHPO) can be located at National
Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers NCSHPO
site.
To address the mandated
SHPO work, use the NHPA Section
101 language:
- Chart how each state is meeting its mandates, based on the programs,
services, resources and information their Web site provides..
- Select at least two "best
practice" examples (total, not in each state)
of how the SHPO meets their mandates.
- In a Word document, list each initiative, the Web address (URL),
and an annotated description of why you think the selected program
is exemplary.
- Print out relevant information from the Web.
To address the "elective"
SHPO work, use a checklist to:
- Chart how each state is developing elective ("non-mandated")
programs and initiatives, in response to cultural resources and
preservation issues and needs. Use the SHPO web sites to assess
the programs, services, resources and information.
- Select at least three "best
practice" examples (total, not in each state)
of how the SHPO has developed exemplary electives.
- Print out any relevant information.
Statewide Nonprofits
Locate your states at the National Trust for Historic Preservation
State
and Local Contacts. The "statewides" are usually identifies
as the "National Trust Statewide Partner". If you can
not find your statewide on the NTHP site, try State
Profiles, ePreservation. Work that nonprofits ( not-for-profit
organizations) do varies; it is based on their act of incorporation,
by-laws adn mission.
- See how each statewide nonprofit is developing initiatives,
based on the programs, services, resources and information their
Web site provides.
- Select at least four "best
practice" examples (total, not in each state)
of how the Statewide Nonprofit has developed exemplary electives.
- In a Word document, list each initiative, the Web address (URL),
and an annotated description of why you think the selected program
is exemplary.
- Print out relevant information from the Web.
Be ready to discuss your findings in class. Hand in a hard copy
of your selections and printouts.
