This plan identifies a series of collections management issues
facing the park and presents corresponding actions to address them.
This Historic Structure Report (HSR) was requested to coordinate
and condense earlier research and to assess the present condition
of the historic structure. Archival material relating to the
construction and later treatment of the historic building, most of
which can be found in the archives of VICK NMP, was reviewed and
two investigations of the historic building were conducted in June
and August of 2001 by Historical Architect, Jon Buono and
Architectural Historian, Tommy Jones. Special attention was given
to evidence of surviving historic fabric which would corroborate
historical accounts and construction logs prepared during the
various restoration projects.
This historic structure report (HSR) is a Level I report consisting
of two volumes. Volume I includes the historical background and
context of the building and its physical evolution and description;
Volume II contains the appendices.
A Cultural Landscape Report (CLR) serves the National Park Service
(NPS) in both documenting the history and significance of cultural
landscapes and providing guidance for both dat-to-day and long-term
management and interpretation. To this end, the CLR for the John
Muir National Historic Site consists of a narration of landscape
history, an inventory and analysis of existing conditions and
landscape significance, and treatment recommendations and actions
consistent with the Secretary of Interior's Standards for the
Treatment of Historic Properties.
This Historic Furnishings Report (HFR) consists of four parts:

`Nonconformist’ has long been used as a description of Protestant
Christians in England and Wales who were not part of the Church of
England. Among the numerous denominations are the Baptists,
Methodists, Quakers and the Salvation Army. By the mid-nineteenth
century their chapels and meeting houses, the subject of this brief
introduction, outnumbered the buildings of the Church of
England’s. While many chapels are now disused or have seen
conversion, they remain characteristic and often notable buildings
in settlements in all parts of the country.
This volume is published on the occasion of the opening of the
National Museum of Qatar in the state's capital, Doha. It explores
and celebrates architect Jean Nouvel's innovative design which,
inspired by the desert rose with its interlocking disks, responds
to the country's desert location by the sea. The museum, built
around Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al-Thani's original 19th-century
palace, honours Qatar's heritage while looking to its future as a
thriving cultural hub.
The National Mall in Washington, D.C. is one of the most important
and highly visible urban public spaces in the U.S. It is considered
by many Americans to be "the nation's front yard." Yet few have
written about the role of this public space in the twenty-first
century. In The National Mall, Lisa Benton-Short explores the
critical issues that are redefining and reshaping this
extraordinary public space. Her work focuses on three contemporary
and interrelated debates about public space: the management
challenges faced by federal authorities, increased demands for
access and security post 9/11, and the role of the public in the
Mall's long-term planning and development plans. By taking a
holistic view of the National Mall and analyzing the unique
twenty-first century challenges it faces, Lisa Benton-Short
provides a fluid, cohesive, and timely narrative that is as
extraordinary as the Mall itself.

Harpers Ferry that we have today and provides the park with case

approaching the resources of the park.
