    Oregon's National Register and Survey Program is part of the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), located within the Heritage Programs division of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. The program assists property owners, governments, and interested citizens in identifying and listing Oregon's most historically important resources in the National Register of Historic Places. The National Register is the nation's official list of buildings, structures, districts, sites and objects significant in American history, architecture, archaeology, and culture, and is maintained by the National Park Service in Washington D.C.

New National Register Guidance
The Oregon SHPO is currently preparing new guidance for completing nominations to the National Register of Historic Places. The standards will look very familiar to those who regularly submit nominations. The new manual will incorporate many of our stand-alone documents, include the latest standards from the National Park Service, and discuss preparing appendices. The new guidance document will be posted when available.
