On Friday, October 15, 2021, preservationists around the world will celebrate the 55thanniversary of the signing of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), the statute that created the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. To commemorate the occasion, the ACHP gathered some of the leading experts in federal historic preservation to discuss the current status of the NHPA and work that is needed to take historic preservation into the future.

Join the ACHP at 12 p.m. EDT on Friday, October 15 on the ACHP YouTube Channel for the premiere of a special edition of the ACHP podcast Preservation Perspectives where ACHP Expert Member Luke Nichter talks with Robert G. Stanton, former ACHP Expert Member and National Park Service Director; Reno Keoni Franklin, ACHP Indian Tribe Member and Chairman Emeritus of the Kashia Band of Pomo Indians, and Julianne Polanco, California State Historic Preservation Officer.

Some of the topics they discuss are inclusivity in historic preservation, early coordination for Section 106 reviews, more Native American representation on the ACHP, and much more.

The premiere will take place here.
