Accession Number: 00964805
Record Type: Component
Availability: N/AFind a library where document is available Abstract: This circular presents the proceedings of the National Forum on Assessing Historic Significance for Transportation Programs. Prior to the forum, the Transportation Research Board Committee on Historic and Archaeological Preservation in Transportation sent out a questionnaire to all federal transportation departments, state departments of transportation, State Historic Preservation Offices, and Tribal Historic Preservation Offices. The questionnaire asked these agencies to identify the key problems and issues associated with evaluating resource significance and which resource categories were the most problematic. The responses to the questionnaire guided the committee in developing the format and focus of the forum. A total of 190 professionals from different parts of the country and representing different historic preservation expertise attended the forum. The forum began with a series of keynote papers. These were followed by a series of panel discussions that focused on specific resource categories and evaluation tools. Following the panel presentations, the forum participants broke out into working groups. Each group was assigned one of the following topics: archaeology; relationship and integration of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), Section 106 and Section 4(f) processes; traditional cultural properties; 20th-century properties; historic structures; and cultural, historic, and rural landscapes. This circular is a final, edited report on the forum's proceedings. Most of the keynote speakers and the panel participants wrote papers on their presentations. For the purpose of this circular, and given the thematic overlap of the presentations during both the keynote presentations and the panel session, the papers are grouped by four themes: perspectives on significance; historic contexts; significance and property types; and the experience of the states. The final section of this circular presents a summary of the working groups' discussions. It summarizes the forum and discusses what has happened since the 1999 forum in terms of addressing the issues and problems identified by the working groups.
