What are the minimum qualifications for Caltrans Cultural Resources Staff?
The civil service classifications established by the California State Personnel Board for cultural resources specialists are Environmental Planner (Generalist), Environmental Planner (Archeology) and Environmental Planner (Architectural History). Historians are hired under the generalist or Architectural History classifications, but must meet minimum qualifications if assigned to duties as a specialist in that field. In addition, each member of Caltrans’ cultural resource staff meets, at least, the minimum professional qualifications standards for history, architectural history or archaeology established by the National Park Service in 36 CFR Part 61.
