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 (the first step toward listing a site on the state or national registers). 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.

Please note: Out of a concern for health and safety and because of a commitment to reduce the risk and spread of novel coronavirus, DHR will conduct the December 2020 Joint Board of Historic Resources and State Review Board meeting and the separate Board of Historic Resources and State Review Board meetings using electronic communications. We are doing so in accord with Item 4-0.01.g. of Chapter 1283 (2020 Acts of Assembly), as the COVID-19 emergency makes it impracticable or unsafe to assemble in a single location. The purpose of the meetings is to discuss or transact the business statutorily required or necessary to continue operation of the Board of Historic Resources and the State Review Board and the discharge of their lawful purposes, duties, and responsibilities.
Board members and staff will participate remotely.
The next quarterly meeting of the Virginia Board of Historic Resources and the State Review Board will convene remotely on December 10, at 10 a.m. Instructions will be posted on how members of the public can access the meeting online and make comments during the meeting. If you have questions prior to the board meeting, please contact Stephanie Williams via email.
