Astronomy and Astrophysics: A National Historic Landmark Theme Study

摘要

The Astronomy and Astrophysics National Historic Landmark Theme Study was prepared by the National Park Service for the National Park System Advisory Board as part of the National Historic Landmarks Program. The purpose of the study is to identify the sites, structures, buildings and objects significant in the history of the sciences of astronomy and astrophysics in the United States. Those properties nominated for National Historic Landmark designation in the study will be evaluated by the National Park System Advisory Board, a committee of scholars and other citizens. The Board will then recommend to the Secretary of the Interior the properties, which in its opinion, should be designated as National Historic Landmarks. The decision to designate or not designate a recommended property rests with the Secretary. A complete explanation of the purpose of the National Historic Landmarks Program and regulations of the program can be found in the appendix to the study.
