The 17-member Ohio Historic Site Preservation Advisory Board is appointed by the governor to advise
the State Historic Preservation Officer and the Ohio Historical Society Board of Trustees on
historic preservation issues. The advisory board evaluates the significance of properties nominated
to the National Register of Historic Places and makes recommendations to the State Historic
Preservation Officer. The advisory board meets three times a year. The board includes a majority of
professionals such as architects, historians, planners, architectural historians, archaeologists,
and public members from around the state who have expertise in Ohio history, architecture, and
archaeology. Board members demonstrate a knowledge of and interest in historic preservation.
The advisory board reviews National Register nominations for 30-50 buildings, sites, structures,
objects, and historic districts each year. Additionally, the board advises the State Historic
Preservation Officer on the distribution of
Certified Local Government grant funds for historic preservation projects in Ohio communities.
