The new edition of Federal
Historic Preservation Laws includes 23 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 and cultural resource
management philosophy from the Antiquities Act of 1906 through the American
Battlefield Protection Act of 1996. The laws laid the foundation for the National
Park Service as the lead Federal preservation agency and for the national historic
preservation partnership that includes NPS, other Federal agencies, Tribal Preservation
Offices, State Historic Preservation Offices, Certified Local Governments, and
private organizations. The publication includes changes to the laws through
December 2001.
