This template is part of WikiProject National Register of Historic Places. The infobox should only be used on articles about sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places. For sites that are not listed on the register but otherwise historic, Infobox historic site may be useful. Examples of the usage of this infobox are displayed at the bottom of the page, and an example infobox showing all displayed parameters is included to the right.

Usage
To get started, copy and paste one of the following blank templates into the top of the article. There is also a tool developed by User:Elkman found here that will create a pre-filled infobox that can be pasted into an article for most sites listed on the Register before ~2012. For newer listings, one must build the infobox from scratch.

Blank template with most common parameters


Blank template with all parameters


Most parameters are optional. The only parameter that is actually required is the refnum parameter, which includes the NRIS reference number for the listing. If this parameter is not included (and the site is not only a contributing property, as explained below), the page will be added to an error category. Any special requirements for parameters (e.g. no links, proper formatting) are explained below.

Please spend some time at the National Register of Historic Places WikiProject and its talk page for standards on presenting names and other data. Also see the project's manual of style, which includes relevant information about formatting infoboxes for NRHP articles.

General information parameters
name – The NRHP listing name exactly as it appears on the Register, with minor modifications such as, e.g. changing "Smith, John, House" to "John Smith House". This does not have to match the name of the article. If the article name is different, then this name should also be included with bold text in the lead. See WP:NRHPMOS for more information.
 * Example format — Manzanar War Relocation Center

location — Address/city in which the listing is located.
 * Example format — Independence, California

nearest_city — If the site is located in a mostly rural area, this parameter should be used instead of location.
 * Example format — Independence, California

area — Land area of the NRHP listing. Mostly used with districts, parks, etc. The convert template may be used to display standard alongside metric measurements.
 * Example formats — 814 acres, 814 acre

 * Example format — 2014

visitation_ref — Source used for visitation information. Displayed outside of the parentheses.
 * Example format — visitation_ref

website — The official website of the listing, if there is one.
 * Example format — website

Image and map
image — Name of main image displayed. Only the title of the image. If left blank, no image is shown.
 * Example format — image = Manzanar Flag.jpg.

image_size — Size of main image in pixels (Do not include "px"). Default 250.
 * Example format — image_size = 400.

alt — Alt text for main image. This is for visually impaired readers, and typically has little in common with the image's caption; see WP:ALT.
 * Example format — alt = Small buildings in rows in a dusty flat area. A tattered U.S. flag flies from a pole in the foreground, and tall mountains dominate the background below a sky with clouds.

caption — Caption for main image.
 * Example format — caption = A hot windstorm brings dust from the surrounding desert July 3, 1942.

locmapin — If you want a map to be displayed, set this parameter to the state in which the NRHP is located. Set to "USA" if you want a map of the entire USA displayed. If the parameter is left blank, no map will be displayed. In some larger cities and some counties, more local maps can be displayed. For a complete listing of maps available, see Template:Location map.
 * Example format — locmapin = USA California.

district_map – For districts, a map of the district can be displayed if one exists rather than a pinpoint map of the state. Set this value to the image containing the district map. Complete details about districts are explained below.
 * Example format – district_map = McClellan Heights district (Davenport).svg.

map_width — Width of the map in pixels (Do not include "px"). Default 235. This parameter is compatible with both a pinpoint map and a district map.
 * Example format — map_width = 275.

map_alt — Alt text for map. This parameter is compatible with both a pinpoint map and a district map.
 * Example format — map_alt = Located in California, close to the midpoint of the diagonal border between California and Nevada.

map_caption — Caption displayed under the map. This parameter is compatible with both a pinpoint map and a district map.
 * Example format — map_caption = Location of Thomas Center in Florida.

map_label – If you want text displayed by the marker on the location map, set that text here.
 * Example format – map_label = Location of Manzanar.

label_size – Font size of the label text as a percentage relative to regular.
 * Example format – label_size = 90 would result in font-size:90%

label_position – Position of the label text. Valid values are left, right, top, or bottom.
 * Example format – label_position = right.

label_background – Background color of the label text.
 * Example format – label_background = transparent.

locmap_relief – Set to any nonblank value to use an optional relief map, if one is provided by the selected location map template.
 * Example format – locmap_relief = y.

Coordinates
Coordinates can be input in either Degrees-Minutes-Seconds (DMS) format or in decimal format, and may be displayed in the opposite format if desired. For example, if you enter |latitude=32.74846 |longitude=-81.73638 and want it to display in DMS format, you could simply add | coord_format = dms, or if you had DMS coordinates and wanted to display them in decimal format, you can use |coord_format = dec.

DMS format: Setting values for lat_degrees and long_degrees makes the locator dot appear on the locator map. If the following format is used, do not use either of the other two formats.
 * lat_degrees — Degrees section of latitude. (0 – 180)
 * Example format — lat_degrees = 36.
 * lat_minutes — Minutes section of latitude. (0 – 60)
 * Example format — lat_minutes = 43.
 * lat_seconds' — Seconds section of latitude. (0 – 60)
 * Example format — lat_seconds = 42.
 * lat_direction — Direction. (N or S)
 * Example format — lat_direction = N.
 * long_degrees — Degrees section of longitude. (0 – 180)
 * Example format — long_degrees = 118.
 * long_minutes — Minutes section of longitude. (0 – 60)
 * Example format — long_minutes = 9.
 * long_seconds — Seconds section of longitude. (0 – 60)
 * Example format — long_seconds = 16.
 * long_direction — Direction. (E or W).
 * Example format — long_direction = W.

DEC format: Setting values for latitude and longitude makes the locator dot appear on the locator map. If the following format is used, do not use either of the other two formats.
 * latitude — Latitude in decimals
 * Example format — latitude = 36.6453.
 * longitude — Longitude in decimals
 * Example format — longitude = -118.1567.

Either format — The following format will not cause the locator dot to appear on the locator map. If the following format is used, do not use either of the other two formats.
 * coordinates — Coordinates in any display format desired
 * Example format — coordinates = 36.6453, -118.1567.
 * Example format — coordinates = 36º43'42" N, 118º9'16" W.

Coordinate Parameters — This infobox uses Coord to display coordinates and link them to an interactive map of the location. An explanation of acceptable parameters can be found here.
 * 'Examples —
 * coord_parameters = region:US_type:landmark
 * coord_display = inline
 * coord_format = dms


 * If locmapin= is set to a value other than the name of a U.S. state, use coord_parameters= to indicate the correct region. (Otherwise the invalid US-X is generated.)
 * If the NRHP is a school, former school, rail station, or former rail station, use coord_parameters= to indicate the correct type (edu or railwaystation).

NRHP-specific parameters
added — Date that the site was added to the Register.
 * Example format — July 30, 1976

refnum — Each site on the NRHP is given a unique identification number, called a "reference number". This number identifies the site in the National Register Information System (NRIS). This parameter is required and should include only the 8-digit number, plus at most a citation noting where the number was found (often using NRISref).
 * Example format — 76000484

mpsub — If the NRHP was submitted under a Multiple Property Submission (MPS), Multiple Resource Area (MRA), Thematic Resource (TR), etc., type its name here. You may also use the NRHP url template to link directly to the pdf of the MPS/MRA/TR. See WP:MPS for more information about Multiple Property Submissions, including a full list of them.
 * Example format — mpsub

Districts
Many listings on the National Register are of historic districts rather than buildings or structures. Historic districts are collections of buildings or areas that have a certain theme or event in common with each other. Most districts consist of many buildings that, when looked at together, illustrate a significant historical event. Many times, a district will be re-evaluated after it is originally listed, and the boundaries of the district may be increased or decreased to include more buildings or to remove some old ones. If a district's boundaries are altered, a new listing on the NRHP is required as well as a new reference number.

There are several parameters that deal with boundary increases and decreases:

increase and decrease – Date on which the boundary was increased or decreased.
 * Example format – increase = September 3, 1979.
 * Example format – decrease = November 21, 1985.

increase_refnum and decrease_refnum – New reference number of the boundary increase or decrease.
 * Example format – increase_refnum = 79003319.
 * Example format – decrease_refnum = 85004727.

If a district has been increased or decreased more than once in its history, there are also increase2, increase2_refnum, decrease2, decrease2_refnum, and the respective parameters for a third increase or decrease that are used the same way.

There is also a special functionality of the infobox to replace the normal pinpoint locator map with an image file containing a map of the district (Example here). This is useful because a district may cover a very large area while the pinpoint can only show a single point. If a district map is used, it is desirable to still include the locmapin parameter (though the location map will be suppressed) as this will help with autocategorization, explained below.

The parameters for the district map are:

district_map – File name of the image of the map of the district. "Image:" or "File:" should not be included.
 * Example format – district_map = Beaver Historic District map.png.

map_caption, map_width, and map_alt are all compatible with this map as well as the pinpont map. For an explanation of these parameters, see above.

Historic district articles are autocategorized into a state-level category, Category:Historic districts in STATE, which are all listed in Category:Historic districts in the United States by state. This categorization uses the locmapin parameter; if locmapin is left blank or not included, the article will be placed into Category:Historic districts in the United States. Since this is a top-level category, it is desirable to move articles down to lower, more localized categories. Most times this can be fixed by simply adding a state name to the locmapin parameter, but this will cause the locator map to be displayed. If, for whatever reason, the location map should not be displayed, there is a workaround:

nocat – Setting any value to this parameter will cancel all autocategorization and allow you to manually categorize the article.
 * Example format – nocat = yes.

This will suppress autocategorization and still allow no locator map to be displayed. This is also a useful fix for when the locator map displayed doesn't have a category yet. For example, Module:Location map/data/Boston exists, but Category:Historic districts in Boston does not. For this case, nocat can be set, and Category:Historic districts in Massachusetts can be added manually to the article.

Contributing properties
Though most of the buildings in a historic district are an integral part of its history, some have nothing to do with the history of the district and are called non-contributing elements. Conversely, any property that contributes to the history of the district is called a contributing property. A list of all contributing and non-contributing properties can normally be found in the official NRHP nomination form for the district. If an article exists about one of these contributing properties, this infobox can be used on that article.

There are several parameters included in the infobox specifically for contributing properties:

partof — District to which the property contributes. This district is automatically linked using the Auto link template. If disambiguation is needed, a link can be input.
 * Example format — partof = DeFuniak Springs Historic District.
 * Example format — partof = East End Historic District .

partof_refnum — The reference number of the district in partof. 'NOTE: The district's reference number should NOT be put in the refnum'' parameter. That parameter is only for properties that are individually listed (i.e. not contributing properties).'''
 * Example format — partof_refnum = 92001048.

The date the district was listed can also be included. designated_nrhp_type should contain the date the district was listed, and it will display as "Designated CP: date" in the infobox.

Contributing property only
Most contributing properties, though historic, do not possess enough status individually (without considering the other properties in the district) to be listed on the National Register. For these properties "nrhp_type = cp" can be used (or if the district to which the property contributes is a National Historic Landmark District, "''nrhp_type = nhldcp'").

The infobox for a contributing property does not display the blue NRHP bar at the top of the infobox because the property is not actually on the National Register of Historic Places; it is only a contributing property to a district. See the next section for properties that are contributing to a district but are also individually listed.



Individually listed contributing property
Some contributing properties possess enough status to be listed individually (with their own reference number) and as part of a district. For these properties, the blue NRHP bar is shown because the site is listed and has its own reference number. While it is not mandatory, there is a special nrhp_type for these properties, "nrhp_type = indcp"; nrhp_type = cp or nrhp_type = nhldcp can also be used, but unless a reference number for the individual property is supplied, the blue NRHP bar will not be displayed.

For individually listed contributing properties, partof_refnum should contain the reference number of the district, and refnum should contain the reference number of the property itself.



NPS designations
If the site, in addition to being listed on the NRHP, was designated by the National Park Service (NPS) as a special type of site, e.g. a National Historic Landmark (NHL) or a historic district (HD), the infobox can display bars at the top highlighting these as well as the date of each designation.

nrhp_type — Name of the special NPS designation. Accepted NPS designations are shown in the collapsible box below.


 * "nhl" — National Historic Landmark
 * "hd" — Historic District (more information here)
 * "nhld" — National Historic Landmark District (NHL that is also a historic district)
 * "cp" — Contributing Property to a Historic District (more info here)
 * "nhldcp" — Contributing Property to a National Historic Landmark District
 * "indcp" — Contributing Property that is also individually listed (more info here)
 * "nmon" — National Monument
 * "nhs" — National Historic Site
 * "nmem" — National Memorial
 * "nhp" — National Historic Park
 * "nb" — National Battlefield
 * "nmp" — National Military Park
 * "nbp" — National Battlefield Park
 * "nbs" — National Battlefield Site
 * "nhr" — National Historic Reserve
 * "ihs" — International Historic Site

designated_nrhp_type — Date the NRHP was designated the special NPS title defined in nrhp_type.
 * Example format — If the site was designated a National Historic Landmark on January 1, 2000:
 * nhl and January 1, 2000

nrhp_type2, nrhp_type3, and nrhp_type4, along with the corresponding designated_nrhp_type2, designated_nrhp_type3, and designated_nrhp_type4, are also available if a site has been designated more than one special type. Setting a value to any these causes multiple bars to be displayed across the top of the infobox.

Note: If a site was formerly listed as a special type but later that designation was removed, you can append the word "former" to any of the designations below (i.e. "formernhl", "formerhd", etc.). This will cause the bar at the top of the infobox to turn grey. For former listings, designated_nrhp_type is the date on which the site was listed as the special type, not when it was delisted. For more information about delistings, click here.

Local designations
Many sites are not only listed on the NRHP but on state or local registers as well. For example, Manzanar (the example infobox to the right) is listed on the NRHP but also as a California Historical Landmark and a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument. For sites like Manzanar, the infobox contains parameters to allow bars for the local register to be displayed below the NRHP/NPS bars. (Note: For sites that are not listed on the NRHP – only on the local register(s) – this infobox should not be used; Infobox historic site may be useful.)

To display bars for local designations, this infobox makes use of Template:Designation, a centralized template for standardizing the appearance of many state and local designations, as well as national and international ones. Adding any register supported by the Designation template (a list of supported designations can be found here) requires only one parameter for full support, designated_other1. The value of this parameter must be one of the callnames listed here for the supported local designation. If the value is a valid callname, the bar's color, text, link, and abbreviation (used farther down in the infobox) are automatically filled in. If the value is not a valid callname, the infobox will display a bar with a white background and the text "Invalid designation".
 * Example format – California Historical Landmark would automatically color the bar gold and link to List of California Historical Landmarks, as well as make the abbreviation "CHISL" show up farther down in the information section of the infobox.

If a local designation is not supported by the Designation template, you could simply request its inclusion there, especially if you plan on using that designation in multiple articles. If the designation will only be used on a handful of articles, rather than adding it to the Designation template, there are several parameters that can allow you to display a custom local designation. You can specify the name of the register (i.e. the text to be displayed in the bar) in designated_other1_name, and optional parameters allow you to specify:
 * designated_other1_color – The hex triplet color of the bar to be displayed. If no color is specified, the infobox defaults to white (#FFFFFF)
 * designated_other1_textcolor – The hex triplet color of the text to be displayed in the local designation bar. If no color is specified, the text will default to the normal text colors.
 * designated_other1_abbr – The abbreviation associated with the register (e.g. NRHP for "National Register of Historic Places"). If no abbreviation is specified, the name will simply be converted to all-caps.
 * designated_other1_link – The link to which the bar text should point. If no link is supplied or the target page does not exist, no link will be generated.
 * Example format – If you wanted the infobox to display a bar noting that the site was recognized as a "Fooville Landmark" with a light green bar, you could set the following:
 * Fooville Landmark
 * 00FF00
 * FL
 * List of Fooville Landmarks

In addition to the bar at the top of the infobox, the infobox can also display the date the site was listed on the local register as well as an identification number similar to the NRIS reference number, which many local registers assign to each of its properties. The relevant parameters are: designated_other1_date – Date the site was given the local designation.
 * Example format — January 1, 1972

designated_other1_number — The ID number given to the site by the local designation.
 * Example format — 850

designated_other1_num_position — Sometimes the ID number of a site is important, even instrumental, in identifying the site. In these cases, the infobox can display the ID number as part of the bar at the top of the infobox in addition to the descriptive fields in the infobox body. This parameter allows the editor to determine where the number is displayed: at the "top" (the bar), "bottom" (the body), or "both". The default is both.
 * Example format — bottom

As with nrhp_type for NPS designations, if a site is listed on more than one state or local register, there are also designated_other2 and designated_other3 parameters, as well as the _name, _color, etc. parameters for subsequent designations.

Delistings
delisted — Date that the NRHP was removed from the register. Setting a value to this parameter causes the NRHP bar to turn grey and adds the word "Former" to the beginning.
 * Example format — delisted = January 2, 2000.

delisted_nrhp_type — Date that the site was delisted from a specific NPS title (NHL, NMEM, etc.). Requires an acceptable value in nrhp_type (which should be a former designation such as "formernhl", but doesn't have to be).
 * ''Example formats —
 * If the site was designated a National Historic Landmark on January 1, 2000, and delisted on January 2, 2000:
 * nrhp_type = formernhl, designated_nrhp_type = January 1, 2000, and delisted_nrhp_type = January 2, 2000.

delisted_nrhp_type2 — Date the NRHP was delisted from a second specific NPS title (NHL, NMEM, etc.). Requires an acceptable value in nrhp_type2 and works like delisted_nrhp_type. delisted_nrhp_type3 — Date the NRHP was delisted from a third specific NPS title (NHL, NMEM, etc.). Requires an acceptable value in nrhp_type3 and works like delisted_nrhp_type. delisted_nrhp_type4 — Date the NRHP was delisted from a fourth specific NPS title (NHL, NMEM, etc.). Requires an acceptable value in nrhp_type4 and works like delisted_nrhp_type. delisted_other1_date – Date that the site was delisted from the local register set in designated_other1_name.
 * Example format – delisted_other1_date = June 15, 2007.

delisted_other2_date and delisted_other3_date correspond to delisting from local registers set in designated_other2_name and designated_other3_name, respectively.

Embedding
Many articles about National Register of Historic Places listings may overlap with other categories (Point Reyes Lighthouse is also a lighthouse and contains a lighthouse infobox). Sometimes it may be necessary or desirable to combine the NRHP infobox with the other infobox(es) in an article to conserve space or to reduce redundancy. This infobox accepts a special parameter that does just this. By adding "embed = yes" to the first line of the infobox code, one can embed this infobox into another, creating the illusion of one continuous infobox. Though the process is a little complicated, it is possible to insert this infobox into most if not all other infoboxes.

In order to embed this infobox, first look at the pre-existing infobox; it should provide a "module" or an "embedded" parameter, inside of which the NRHP should be placed. If the pre-existing infobox does not have the capacity for embedding, do not insert the NRHP infobox in any other field, but request that a parameter for embedding be added on the talk page of the other infobox.





Standard NRHP
The infobox to the right is an example of Infobox NRHP in action at the Oakwood Cemetery article. Oakwood cemetery was listed on the NRHP in 1984 and has had no further designations (e.g. NHL, NMON, etc.) 

More than one NRHP type
Notice that nrhp_type and nrhp_type2 contain the NPS designation, and designated_nrhp_type and designated_nrhp_type2 contain the designation dates for the corresponding nrhp_types. 

Delisted NRHP
The Lenoir Cotton Mill was originally listed on the NRHP in 1973 but was destroyed by fire in 1991. Subsequently, in 2002, the building's NRHP designation was withdrawn. To reflect this in the infobox, the delisted parameter contains the date on which the site was delisted, and it causes the NRHP bar at the top of the infobox to turn grey and adds "Formerly listed." 

Delisted from NPS designation but not NRHP
A property can sometimes be delisted from a certain NPS title (National Monument, National Historic Landmark, etc.), but still remain on the NRHP. For example, the Lincoln Motor Company Plant was first designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978. After part of the campus was demolished, however, the NHL status was removed, although the NRHP status was kept. To reflect this in the infobox, nrhp_type = formernhl. delisted_nrhp_type contains the date on which the site was delisted as an NHL, and designated_nrhp_type contains the date on which the site was originally listed or designated as an NHL. The site, however, still remains on the NRHP, so the infobox still shows the blue NRHP bar at the top. 

One or more local designations
Notice that with designated_other1_num_position = top, the CHISL# is only displayed in the title bar, not the information section. designated_other2_num_position is set to "bottom", so it does the opposite. If there were a third local designation, and its num_position parameter was left blank, it would display in the default manner – both top and bottom. 

Only image – no map
Notice the Coordinates are still displayed even though the map is not. 

Only map – no image
