This site contains an overview of cultural and historic resources laws and regulations (only those regulations considered key for understanding the selected laws are referenced). The following overviews are included:

          -Historic Sites Act of 1935 (purpose, major provisions by section, and pertinent regulations)

          -Archeological and Historic Preservation Act of 1974 (purpose, and major provisions by section)

          -National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as amended (purpose, major provisions by section, and pertinent regulations)

          -Archeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA) of 1979 (purpose, pertinent regulations, definitions, applicable actions, summary of implementation procedures, and additional links)

          This site is updated only periodically, and therefore may serve best as a reference or subject-based regulatory overview.
