The Board of Historic Resources and the State Review Board meet quarterly to consider new nominations of historic sites for listing in the Virginia Landmarks Register (VLR) and the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The two boards also consider proposed updates and boundary increases to nominations for sites previously listed in the VLR and NRHP.
Additionally, the Board of Historic Resources considers new or proposed updates to historical highway markers, and new preservation easements. The State Review Board reviews and evaluates Preliminary Information Forms (PIFs) that DHR staff has requested to be considered. On occasion, the boards convene for special meetings, which are announced here in advance.
Prior to each quarterly meeting, DHR posts information about new nominations, highway markers, easements, and PIFs on this webpage, along with an agenda for the meeting.
The public is welcome to attend quarterly and special board meetings. Check below for time, place, and draft agenda for each meeting.

Please note: On September 5, DHR removed the nomination for the Blackwell Historic District in Richmond from the agenda of DHR’s September 20 quarterly board meeting. The presentation of the Blackwell Historic District is now planned for October 10 at 1:00 p.m. during a specially convened public meeting of the two DHR boards at New Life Deliverance Tabernacle, located at 900 Decatur Street, in the Blackwell neighborhood in Richmond. DHR is in the process of revising the Blackwell Historic District nomination; once that is completed the nomination will be posted to this web page.
The nominations below will be considered for listing on the Virginia Landmarks Register (VLR) and the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) during a joint meeting of DHR’s two boards on September 20.
