State Historic Preservation Board

The Nebraska State Historic Preservation Board meets three times per year. Its primary duty is to evaluate nominations to the National Register of Historic Places. The Board also approves the Nebraska State Historic Preservation Office’s annual work plan and its statewide historic preservation plan, which is completed every five years. Members are volunteers. In accordance with federal regulations (36 C.F.R. 61), they meet minimum qualifications. At minimum, a majority of members are professionals who work in one or more of the following disciplines: archeology, architectural history, and history.

Meeting details will be posted to the Nebraska State Historical Society’s website as they become available. No later than one week prior to a meeting, a continually current agenda is available for inspection at the Nebraska State Historic Preservation Office, 1500 R St, Lincoln, Nebraska, during normal business hours, Monday through Friday. For further information, please contact the National Register Coordinator, at NSHS.NRHP@nebraska.gov.

About NSHS

The Nebraska State Historical Society was founded in 1878 by citizens who recognized Nebraska was going through great changes and they sought to record the stories of both indigenous and immigrant peoples. It was designated a state institution and began receiving funds from the legislature in 1883. Legislation in 1994 changed NSHS from a state institution to a state agency. The division is headed by Director Daryl Bohac. They are assisted by an administrative staff responsible for financial and personnel functions, museum store services, security, and facilities maintenance for NSHS.
