WASHINGTON, DC — Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) members voted on November 4 to approve the issuance of a program comment that provides the National Park Service (NPS) with an alternative to comply with its responsibilities under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). This program comment specifically addresses the NPS’ inventory of facilities built between 1945 and 1972, a period of park development known as the Mission 66-era.
In October, Advisory Council on Historic Preservation members approved an action that initiates a new approach for federal projects informed by Native Hawaiian Indigenous Knowledge. In this new episode of the ACHP podcast, Preservation Perspectives, host Monica Rhodes speaks with ACHP Chair Sara Bronin and Tribal Member Amelia Marchand about the Exemption for Indigenous Knowledge-Informed Activities by Native Hawaiian Organizations. They discuss what it does and why it is important.
The ACHP is offering part-time internship positions this spring, supervised either by ACHP Chair Sara Bronin or staff members.
Internships may be virtual, on-site, or hybrid. Hourly expectations are flexible, as long as the total number of hours allows interns to satisfy any requirements of their programs. All interns can receive academic credit if they meet the requirements of their programs. A minimum of 10 hours/week is preferred.
On October 4, 2024, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) hosted “U.S. Climate Heritage in the International Context,” a one-day conference at Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C., co-organized by ACHP Chair Sara C. Bronin and Georgetown Climate Center Faculty Director and Professor of Law J. Peter Byrne. Co-sponsors of the event included Georgetown Climate Center, American Institute of Architects, Cornell Law School, and Cornell Center for Social Sciences.
