National Register Project Details

National Register projects involve nominations of buildings, structures, districts, or other cultural resources to the New York State Register and National Register of Historic Places. See SHPO’s National Register page for more information on this program.

For information on how to submit a National Register project to SHPO, see the Submit Properties for National Register Nomination help page.

You can open the details module for a National Register project in the following ways:

• Search for the project and click the View button for the project in the Results tab.
• Click the boundary in the map interface, and then click the View button in the callout balloon.
• Use the Find My Project form on the guest user Home page to search for the project.
• Find the project in the My Projects tab on your dashboard and click the View button.
• Open an Answer a Question page or consolidated response page pertaining to the project and click the View Project button.

The National Register Project Details module uses the same basic design as for other project types, with the addition of the Nomination Data and NR Status tabs. When you open the module, it will display with the Overview tab open by default, as shown below.

• Overview: Standard tab containing basic information about the project, as well as a map interface that zooms to the location of the nominated property.
