If the board finds that the proposed nominations appear to meet the criteria for listing on the National Register it will recommend to the State Historic Preservation Officer that they be forwarded to the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places for her consideration.

The 17-member board is appointed by the governor to advise the Ohio Historical Society and the state on historic preservation matters. It includes professionals in history, architecture, archaeology, and other historic preservation related disciplines as well as citizen members. The board meets three times each year to consider proposed Ohio nominations to the National Register of Historic Places and conduct other business.
