The Federal
Preservation Institute (FPI) assists Federal agencies in
providing education, training, and awareness opportunities for
persons responsible for carrying out the National Historic
Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, and other related public
laws. FPI was created by the National Park Service in 2000 to
assist all federal employees, from the Executive, Judicial, and
Legislative branches, in:
1. Obtaining the
education, training, and awareness needed to carry out each
office’s responsibilities under the National Historic
Preservation Act and related laws.
2. Developing
training programs and materials that serve multi-agency needs
delivered in a variety of media, including publications,
on-line, and classroom.
3. Identifying
excellent instructors, programs, and materials that match the
needs of the Federal workforce.
The FPI mission responds to the
stipulations in the National Historic Preservation Act, Section
101(j), for the Secretary of the Interior to “implement a
comprehensive preservation education and training program.”
