This one page summary describes a project created provide the USAR with a baseline of knowledge and research that can be utilized extensively throughout USAR. The context study will provide improved uniformity in National Register determinations and enhance the potential for integration of cultural and natural resources programs. As a primary source of information and guidance for future Section 106 and Section 110 compliance, the context study will encourage higher standards of historic property stewardship. A nationwide context will draw upon existing research and combine it into a cohesive document that can be used to facilitate future compliance documentation.
