National Park Service Lists Eastmoreland Historic District in Portland in the National Register of Historic Places
The Eastmoreland Historic District is among Oregon's latest entries in the National Register of Historic Places. Oregon's State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation (SACHP) recommended the nomination at their February 2017 meeting. The National Park Service - which maintains the National Register of Historic Places - accepted this nomination on December 7, 2022.
A copy of the nomination document and National Park Service evaluation sheet are online at https://bit.ly/eastmorelandhd<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2Feastmorelandhd&data=05%7C01%7CKatie.HENRY%40oprd.oregon.gov%7Ccde427c5aeb14f8e5f8508dad95c05e5%7Caa3f6932fa7c47b4a0cea598cad161cf%7C0%7C0%7C638061286518713206%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Fs2eJUHoljXq%2B75Abkh3woiyUj6bnIDeqH%2B28HnOAt0%3D&reserved=0>
The Eastmoreland Historic District is located in Portland, Multnomah County. It encompasses approximately 475 acres and is generally bounded SE Woodstock Blvd on the north; SE Cesar E Chavez Blvd and SE 36th Ave on the east; Berkeley Park and SE Crystal Springs Blvd on south; and SE 27th and 28th Ave on the west.
The Eastmoreland Historic District is considered significant for its relationship to community planning and development trends in Portland in the early twentieth century, most notably for its reflection of City Beautiful planning principles, and for its eclectic yet cohesive mix of early twentieth century architectural styles. The nomination is submitted as an addendum to an existing document called a Multiple Property Document, or MPD, called "Historic Residential Suburbs in the United States, 1830-1960," which describes the history and important trends in suburban residential development in the United States from the nineteenth century through the post-World War II era. This "cover" document places local and regional trends in community planning and development that can be seen throughout the country and serves as an additional reference for the Eastmoreland nomination.
The National Register is maintained by the National Park Service under the authority of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.
Properties listed in the National Register are:
*           Recognized as significant to the nation, state, or community;
*           Considered in the planning of federal or federally-assisted projects;
*           Eligible for federal and state tax benefits;
*           Qualify for historic preservation grants when funds are available;
*           Eligible for leniency in meeting certain building code requirements;
*           Subject to local laws pertaining to the conservation and protection of historic resources.
State law in Oregon requires local governments to offer a minimal level of protection for properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places; the decisions about how to accomplish that goal reside with local governments, which also have the authority to create and regulate local historic districts and landmarks.
More information about the National Register process and recent Oregon listings are online at oregonheritage.org (listed under "Designate").

The Collections Management Policy Toolkit (CMPT) is a free online tool that allows users to build a customized Collections Management Policy for their organization or collection. Using a template developed by the Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts (CCAHA) with help from nationally renowned experts in the collections management field, the CMPT guides users through the process of creating a policy uniquely tailored to their collection and designed to meet professional, ethical, and legal standards.
Made possible with the generous support of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and through partnership with the web design and development firm YIKES, Inc., the CCAHA team is thrilled to finally share this tool with the collections care community. In this introductory webinar, speakers Dyani Feige and Alanna Shaffer will share how and why the CMPToolkit came to be, provide a live demonstration of the tool and offer best practices for its use. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions about the tool and how to building an effective Collections Management Policies can best support your specific organization or collection.
