Project Description and Purpose
A complete architectural assessment on surviving buildings and structures listed in 1974 nomination form as well as other building and structures that contribute to NHLD that were eligible for listing on the national register of historic places prior to August 8, 2023 wildfires. Hawaiian Kingdom history will also be proposed as another period of significance. Archaeological surveys, Traditional Cultural Properties (TCP) studies and oral history reports will document the rich history of Lahaina. TCP studies should include new and existing oral histories report as well as ethnography. These assessments and studies will be used to update the NHLD nomination for submittal and consideration by the National Park Service (NPS).
