The Indiana Historic Preservation Review Board makes decisions on preservation-related issues and provides public oversight for the division. The board nominates Indiana properties to the National Register of Historic Places. Once the board approves an application and it is signed by the State Historic Preservation Officer, it is sent to Washington D.C. to be considered by the Keeper of the Register. The Board also approves funding recommendations for the federal matching grant program and reviews applications for state-funded projects that will alter historic properties. Division of Historic Preservation & Archaeology staff provides administrative and logistical support for board activities.
