Multiple Property Documentation Forms

Multiple Property Documentation forms serve as a basis for evaluating the National Register eligibility of related properties.  MPDFs require the preparation of historic contexts, identification of property types, and formulation of registration requirements.  A PDF notation indicates a link to a PDF version of the nomination on the National Park Service or History Colorado websites.
