Historic Register

The State Historic Preservation Division is the official keeper of the Hawai`i Register of Historic Places. The list formally recognizes districts, sites, structures, buildings and objects and their significance in Hawai`i's history, architecture, archaeology, engineering and culture.

The National Register of Historic Places, kept by the National Park Service, encompases significant properties nominated by State and Federal agencies, historic areas in the National Park System and all National Historic Landmarks. It is the official list of the country's cultural resources. See a Map of sites in Hawaii listed on the National Register.
