In 2013 Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced the launch of the Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Initiative, which included the Asian American Pacific Islander (Aapi) theme study to be conducted by the National Park Service (Nps) to investigate the stories, places, and people of Aapi heritage. The aim of this federal initiative was to encourage the identification of buildings, structures, sites, objects, and districts associated with Aapi history in the United States and facilitate their designation as National Historic Landmarks (Nhls) and their listing on the National Register of Historic Places. With less than 3 percent of listings on the National Register and few Nhls associated with Asian Americans or Pacific Islanders, Secretary Salazar saw the need to develop a federal publication that would guide and encourage national nominations and facilitate participation by community members and preservation agencies to identify, document, and nominate significant historical places and cultural resources that tell the stories of Asians and Pacific Islanders in America
