Studies

Discover Our Diverse Cultural Heritage

Eligible National Historic Landmarks are often identified and evaluated through theme and special studies. While theme studies use comparative analysis of properties associated with broad themes in American history - like women's history or early America - special studies focus on more specific topics in the historical context of the United States for evalution purposes.
