Preservation
Terminology
Acquisition-the
act or process of acquiring fee title or interest other than fee title
of real property (including acquisition of development rights or remainder
interest).
Comprehensive
Historic Preservation Planning-the organization into a logical
sequence of preservation information pertaining to identification, evaluation,
registration and treatment of historic properties, and setting priorities
for accomplishing preservation activities.
Historic
Context-a unit created for planning purposes that groups information
about historic properties based on a shared theme, specific time period
and geographical area.
Historic
Property-a district, site, building, structure
or object significant in American history, architecture, engineering,
archeology or culture at the national, State, or local level.
Integrity-the
authenticity of a property's historic identity, evidenced by the survival
of physical characteristics that existed during the property's historic
or prehistoric period.
Intensive
Survey-a systematic, detailed examination of an area designed
to gather information about historic properties sufficient to evaluate
them against predetermined criteria of significance within specific
historic contexts.
Inventory-a
list of historic properties determined to meet specified criteria of
significance.
National
Register Criteria-the established criteria for evaluating the
eligibility of properties for inclusion in the National Register of
Historic Places.
Preservation
(treatment)-the act or process of applying measures to sustain
the existing form, integrity and material of a building or structure,
and the existing form and vegetative cover of a site. It may include
initial stabilization work, where necessary, as well as ongoing maintenance
of the historic building materials. [Current
definition of this treatment standard, as revised in The Secretary of
the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, 1995:
Property
Type-a grouping of individual properties based on a set of
shared physical or associative characteristics.
Protection
(treatment)-the act or process of applying measures designed
to affect the physical condition of a property by defending or guarding
it from deterioration, loss or attack, or to cover or shield the property
from danger or injury. In the case of buildings and structures, such
treatment is generally of a temporary nature and anticipates future
historic preservation treatment; in the case of archeological sites,
the protective measure may be temporary or permanent. [This treatment standard and definition was deleted in The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, 1995.]
Reconnaissance
Survey-an examination of all or part of an area accomplished
in sufficient detail to make generalizations about the types and distributions
of historic properties that may be present.
Reconstruction
(treatment)-the act or process of reproducing by new construction
the exact form and detail of a vanished building, structure, or object,
or any part thereof, as it appeared at a specific period of time.
[Current definition
of this treatment standard, as revised in The Secretary of the Interior's
Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, 1995:
Rehabilitation (treatment)-the act or process of returning a property to a state of utility through repair or alteration which makes possible an efficient contemporary use while preserving those portions or features of the property which are significant to its historical, architectural and cultural values. [Current definition of this treatment standard, as revised in The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, 1995:
Research
design-a statement of proposed identification, documentation,
investigation, or other treatment of a historic property that identifies
the project's goals, methods and techniques, expected results, and the
relationship of the expected results to other proposed activities or
treatments.
Restoration [treatment]-the act or process of accurately recovering the form and details of a property and its setting as it appeared at a particular period of time by means of the removal of later work or by the replacement of missing earlier work. [Current definition of this treatment standard, as revised in The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, 1995:
Sample Survey-survey
of a representative sample of lands within a given area in order to
generate or test predictions about the types and distributions of historic
properties in the entire area.
Stabilization (treatment)-the act or process of applying measures designed to reestablish a weather resistant enclosure and the structural stability of an unsafe or deteriorated property while maintaining the essential form as it exists at present. [This treatment standard and its definition was deleted in The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, 1995.]
