Abstract:

Historic preservation in transportation has evolved over the past 20 years from an atmosphere of widespread misunderstanding to one of greater understanding and cooperation. In the past, as legislative changes took place, misunderstandings arose among preservationists and transportation officials about how to implement the legal requirements for transportation improvement projects. Current understanding still varies across the country--some states have reached cooperative agreements and have established models for integrating cultural resources into their project development process under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA); some states are only part way there; and others have not started yet. Many professionals understand that it is necessary to consider cultural resources early in any project's development. But how to do this effectively is still under debate. This paper offers comments on the changes that abound in what types of cultural resources are considered as well as the methods and techniques for identifying and evaluating resources; on new approaches to identify, evaluate, and protect cultural resources; and on the outlook for the future.
