Summary

The SRI Foundation and Statistical Research, Inc., with Legacy Resource Management Program funding, convened a workshop of national experts to develop strategies for more efficient and consistent management of Air Force Cold War–era resources. The workshop was held in Tucson, Arizona on 7–9 February 2006. Workshop attendees included Department of Defense (DoD) and private-sector participants with a variety of expertise in the Cold War arena. Building inventories and evaluations have been and continue to be a primary Air Force cultural resources priority area as large numbers of these Cold War resources began reaching the 50-year mark and may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The Interim Guidance: Treatment of Cold War Historic Properties for U.S. Air Force Installations (1993) has been instrumental to the Cold War inventory process, but it is in need of an update to address issues and problems recognized since its creation. Workshop participants examined the current status of the DoD Cold War Initiative and the issues within the program today. They identified and analyzed key issues such as the lack of updated program guidance and centralized databases, discussed successful approaches to addressing these issues, and developed action plans for the DoD to consider.
