| MULTIPLE PROPERTY SUBMISSION |
|
The National Register of Historic Places Multiple Property Form (NPS 10-900-b) nominates groups of related significant properties. On it, the themes, trends, and patterns of history shared by the properties are organized into historic contexts and the property types that represent those historic contexts are defined.
Proper Forms
The Multiple Property Documentation Form is a cover document and serves as a basis for evaluating the National Register eligibility of related properties, but it is not a nomination form in its own right. The form may be used to nominate and register thematically related historic properties simultaneously, or to establish the registration requirements for properties that may be nominated in the future. The nomination of each building, site, district, structure, or object within a thematic group is made on the National Register Registration Form (NPS 10-900). The name of a thematic group, denoting the historical framework of nominated properties, is the multiple property listing. When nominated and listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the Multiple Property Documentation Form, together with individual registration forms, constitute a multiple property submission.
Streamlining the Evaluation Process
The Multiple Property Documentation Form streamlines the method of organizing information collected in surveys and research for registration and preservation purposes. The form facilitates the evaluation of individual properties by comparing them with resources that share similar physical characteristics and historical associations. Information common to the group of properties is presented in the Multiple Property Documentation Form. Information specific to each individual building, site, district, structure, or object is placed on an individual registration form. As a management tool, the thematic approach can furnish essential information for historic preservation planning because it evaluates properties on a comparative basis within a given geographical area and because it can be used to establish preservation priorities based on historic significance.
