State Register of Historic Places


The State Register of Historic Places GIS layer previously hosted by MassGIS at this address has been removed at the request of the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC), as it updates locational inaccuracies and omissions in this layer dating to 1997.

GIS information for State Register of Historic Places properties and for other historic resources are currently in development by the MHC. Some Massachusetts Cultural Resource Information System (MACRIS) information about historic (non-archaeological) properties is available at http://www.sec.state.ma.us/mhc/.  Also, many other Massachusetts historic and archaeological properties exist, for which information is not presently available in the publicly accessible MACRIS database.

Users seeking specific location-related information should consult the official Inventory of Historic and Archaeological Assets of the Commonwealth maintained in the records, files and maps at the MHC, Massachusetts Archives Building, 220 Morrissey Boulevard, Boston, during business hours. No appointment is needed. For directions, see the MHC Web site http://www.sec.state.ma.us/mhc/.

As always, the act of checking MHC's on-line database, or any other electronic data, does not substitute for compliance with applicable local, state, or federal laws and regulations. If you are representing a developer and/or a proposed project that will require a permit, license or funding from any state or federal agency, you must submit a Project Notification Form (PNF) to MHC for MHC’s review and comment. You may obtain a copy of a PNF through the MHC web site http://www.sec.state.ma.us/mhc/ under the subject heading "MHC Forms."
