Tribal Register of Historic Places

The Collections Section is also responsible for maintaining the Seminole Site File, a repository for the tribe’s cultural resource information (i.e. archaeological sites, traditional cultural properties, historic buildings and structures). The Site File provides the Tribe the ability to manage its extant cultural resources in an appropriate manner, and has broad implications for its cultural and economic well-being. The Site File also includes the Tribal Register of Historic Places (TRHP), the top tier of the Site File. While the TRHP has several similarities to the National Register of Historic Places, it’s criteria for the preservation of exceptionally significant sites has been tailored to meet the specific needs of the Tribe.
