Saving our history: a review of national park cultural resource programs

Source: National Academy of Public Administration (U.S.)
"In this report, a National Academy Panel responds to a request from the National Park Service (NPS) to provide independent recommendations to improve stewardship of cultural resources in national parks, including historic structures, archeological sites, museum collections, cultural landscapes, and park histories. The Panel has identified ways that NPS can improve stewardship of these important national resources by strengthening performance-based management, ensuring park superintendent accountability, increasing flexibility in the use of funds, strengthening national leadership, and seeking additional funds and staff to reduce risks to cultural resources of national significance.
