SHAPING PRESERVATION IN KANSAS: 2017-2022
Every five years the Kansas Historical Society produces a statewide preservation plan to guide future activities of the preservation community in Kansas.
For this plan the Historical Society gathered public input hoping to reflect the preservation concerns and challenges of the whole state. View the PDF version of this plan. Printed copies of the current preservation plan are available in limited numbers.
Input was provided from a variety of state and federal agencies, preservation organizations, and the public. The Cultural Resources Division carries out many preservation functions in Kansas, including assisting the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) in assuring compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, implementing state and federal grant and tax credit programs, managing and maintaining the historic property and archeological site inventories for Kansas, interpreting the history and prehistory of the state as reflected by material culture, and developing and implementing educational programming for all Kansans.
Many other organizations carry out preservation programs in Kansas; more information on those that participated, along with their preservation programs, is presented in the plan.
This plan is intended to be shared with community leaders, organizations, and those interested in preservation-related issues in Kansas.
A PDF version of the previous preservation plan is also available to view.
