For those of you who do historic preservation and/or cultural resource management work, a major gap has been filled in historic preservation reference materials posted on the National Park Service's "Links to the Past" web site at <www.cr.nps.gov>. If you look under "Laws, Regulations and Standards," you will find the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation. The direct address is <www.cr.nps.gov/local-law/arch_stnds_0.htm>. Originally published in the Federal Register in 1983, the Standards and Guidelines cover Preservation Planning, Identification, Evaluation, Registration, Historical Documentation, Architectural and Engineering Documentation (i.e., HABS/HAER), Archeological Documentation, and Historic Preservation Projects (revised in 1995 and retitled Treatment for Historic Properties); and Standards for Professional Qualifications. Recommended Sources of Technical Information sections have been updated and web links provided for additional information.

We have added links and cross references to useful materials published subsequent to 1983 when the Standards and Guidelines were published. We hope that you find this posting useful.
