Historic Contexts
To accomplish the mission of the Oklahoma Historical Society and honor the vision of the State Historic Preservation Office, all work is completed following our historic contexts. A historic context is utilized as a planning tool that collects information about historic properties based on a theme, specific time period, and/or geographical area. The information used to create historic context material comes from National Register of Historic Places nominations, survey reports, monographs, newspapers, historic maps, and many other historic and modern resources. In the past, the State Historic Preservation Office has produced historic contexts as products of the statewide program and is in the process of updating the historic contexts for this preservation plan cycle.
If you would like to review the previous historic contexts, please contact Shea Otley at 405-522-4485 or Shea.Otley@history.ok.gov.
