Inclusion process

Nominations for the Virginia Landmark Register are simultaneously processed for inclusion on the National Register for Historic Places. Both registries were formed in 1966.^[1]

There are two parts to the selection process for designating landmarks:

1. evaluation and nomination with the latter contingent on passing the evaluation stage.
2. upon accepting the nomination for the state level landmark status, the State Review Board makes a recommendation on whether the State Historic Preservation Officer should submit it to the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places in Washington, D.C.^[2]
