In 2006 the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is celebrating the 100th anniversary of one of the most important pieces of legislation in the field of historic preservation: the Antiquities Act of 1906. BLM lands contain the largest, most diverse, and most scientifically important body of cultural resources of any Federal holdings.
As a part of a national initiative, BLM state and field offices are highlighting heritage resources (archaeological, historical, and paleontological) in their areas, and utilizing existing events, opportunities and partnerships to promote the Centennial. In addition, BLM is striving to share a citizen stewardship message to reach public land users, students, volunteers, partners, heritage tourists, and others.
Nationally, a number of products and strategies have been produced for use by BLM employees and their partners to support the Centennial: This web site contains these resources .
