+ Cultural Resource Management, NASA Ames Research Center
This page provides an overview of the cultural resource management plan, which consists of a 10-year programmatic agreement between NASA Ames Research Center, the California State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. The agreement became effective November 15, 2002 and defines the historic preservation management plan for the NASA Research Park, including the Shenandoah Plaza National Historic District at Moffett Field. NASA Ames assumed responsibility for this historic district in 1994 as a result of a property transfer (BRAC) action between the U.S. Navy and NASA.

+ Summary of Historic Properties, NASA Ames Research Center,

This page provides an overview of the historic properties. Review an abbreviated list of properties or download a more detailed summary in PDF format.

+ Historic Resources Protection Plan, NASA Ames Research Center
This page provides the Historic Resources Protection Plan (HRPP) for portions of Moffett Field. The HRPP is NASA's mechanism for complying with historic preservation requirements set forth in Section 106 and 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. The primary purpose of the HRPP is to establish procedures to integrate the planning, preservation, and use of historic properties on lands that will be developed by NASA Ames Research Center into a world-class campus featuring research, development, and education partnerships between government, academia, industry and non-profit organizations in support of NASA missions. Review the table of contents or download the entire plan document in PDF format.
