Who can submit a topic?
Historical societies or organizations, fraternal organizations, colleges and universities, local governments, private organizations, or individuals able to fund the marker can propose a new marker by submitting an application packet to DHR. Ultimately, a new marker must be presented to the Board of Historic Resources, the body authorized to approve all historical markers. Markers currently cost $1,350, including tax and shipping. (In some jurisdictions, the sponsor may be required to pay for the marker’s installation.) For more information about nominating a new marker, see Important Information for Marker Sponsors and Application Process.
