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 discusses 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.

March 2019 FINAL agenda [pdf]
The March 21 meeting of the Virginia Board of Historic Resources (VBHR) had to be cancelled when a quorum of the board failed to appear (due to illnesses among members). The State Review Board (SRB) did meet on March 21, 2019, at Halsey Lecture Hall, Virginia Museum of History and Culture, 428 N. Boulevard, Richmond, VA 23221. DHR has yet to reschedule a meeting of the VBHR to review nominations to the Virginia Landmarks Register and new historical highway markers.
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.
