Dept. of Archives and History. Historic Preservation (RG 31/SG 4)
Files of Historic Preservation Plans produced by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History/State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) for the period 1970-1978. States are required to produce Historic Preservation Plans by the 1966 National Historic Preservation Act (P.L. 89-655 (as amended). This act inaugurated a national historic preservation program implemented by the National Park Service (NPS) under the authority of the Secretary of the Interior. Under the provisions of the act SHPOs were established. In order to receive federal historic preservation grants, the act stipulated that the SHPO produce Statewide Comprehensive Preservation Plans which identified historic preservation needs and goals and detailed the polices to achieve these goals. Subsequent amendments of the 1966 act (1976, 1980, 1992) and numerous interpretations of the plan by the NPS have altered the requirements and thus the form of the plan.
The series consists of copies of the Statewide Comprehensive Plans and annual plans submitted to the NPS for annual grant funding. In addition, the series includes the editors’ working files for the 1975 published version of Volume I of the 2nd edition of the Comprehensive Plan, entitled Historic Preservation in Mississippi: A Comprehensive Plan, which includes drafts, page proofs, mechanicals, and correspondence. Many of the photographs of buildings used for the illustrations appear to be either Historic Building Survey (HABS) photographs or from the MDAH Historic Resources Inventory (formerly known as the Statewide Survey). For a published copy of this plan, see library holdings (call # 970.7 H62).
