This page covers recent or forthcoming activities of the two boards of the Department of Historic Resources: the Board of Historic Resources and the State Review Board. The two boards meet quarterly to consider new site nominations for listing in the Virginia Landmarks Register, new historical highway markers, and new historic preservation easements.

At the March 21 quarterly meeting of DHR's two boards, the boards considered a range of historic sites and building types including the ones shown here: Clockwise: St. John's Episcopal Church (Sanctuary), in the Rivermont HD, Lynchburg; a diner building in the Hopewell Downtown HD; the Goodman House (interior), Alexandria; and the Waverly Downtown Historic District (retail buildings), Sussex Co.

The next quarterly meeting of the Board of Historic Resources and State Review Board will convene on Wednesday, June 19, 2013. The meeting will be held at the Virginia Society of the AIA, Virginia Center for Architecture (the Branch House) at 2501 Monument Avenue in Richmond.

During their March 2013 meeting the two boards approved 13 new nominations (and two boundary increases for previously-listed historic districts) for listing in the Virginia Landmarks Register (VLR) and for forwarding to the National Park Service for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.
