Members of the Indiana
Historic Preservation Review Board
The DHPA staff provides administrative and logistical support for the activities of the Historic Preservation Review Board. This board has responsibility for issues concerning the state’s historic and cultural resources.
Historic Preservation Review Board
The Indiana Historic Preservation Review Board is the committee that makes decisions on a number of preservation-related issues and provides public oversight to the programmatic and regulatory activities of the DHPA. For example, the Board officially nominates Indiana properties to the National Register of Historic Places. Once the Board approves an application and it is signed by the State Historic Preservation Officer, it is a “nomination” that can be sent to Washington to be considered by the Keeper of the Register. The Board also approves funding recommendations for the federal matching grant program, and considers applications for certificates of approval for state-funded projects that will alter, demolish, or remove historic properties.
The Board members are appointed by the governor for three-year terms. Five members are appointed for their expertise in either archaeology, architecture, architectural history, or history. The Director of the Department of Natural Resources, Indiana’s SHPO, serves as the Board’s Chair. The Board also includes and benefits from the DHPA division director and three citizen members whose interest and activities in historic preservation have gained recognition.
Since its organizational meeting in 1970, the Board has included some of Indiana’s most noted scholars and professionals, among them Professor Donald Carmony of Indiana University, co-author of Indiana from Frontier to Industrial Commonwealth; Dr. James Kellar, former director of the Glenn A. Black Archaeology Laboratory; distinguished Indianapolis architect, H. Roll McLaughlin; and David R. Hermansen, first director of the Ball State program in historic preservation.
The Board meets quarterly in January, April, July, and October. Their meetings are typically in the Indiana Government Center and are open to the public. Past Board agendas and staff comments are available here.
