Section 106: A Guide to Federal Protections for Historic Properties

This workshop will explore the range of protections afforded historic properties under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The workshop will be divided into two parts. The morning will be devoted to explaining the operations of Section 106, relying upon presentations and detailed handouts. The afternoon will involve the participants in applying the morning lessons to a series of case studies designed to illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of the Section 106 process, as well as real-life case studies brought to the workshop by participants and the instructors.
