2025 National Register Meeting Deadlines: 

IMPORTANT NOTE: First drafts should be submitted well in advance of the above final draft deadlines to allow for revisions and requests for additional information if needed. Please allow up to 45-60 days for DHP’s review of a first draft. The number of drafts needed will vary by project.

Nominations will be scheduled for National Register Committee Meetings only after each draft is fully reviewed and determined ready for an agenda (per schedules) by the NR Coordinator. Submissions cannot be fully reviewed until all photographs, photo keys, maps, LHRI forms as well as a well-developed argument for Criterion, Areas of Significance, Setting subsection, and Integrity subsection, and supporting bibliography are in hand. Incomplete drafts will not be placed on an agenda.
