The Legislature of the State finds that a New Jersey Historical Commission, New Jersey Bicentennial Commission, New Jersey Cemetery Board, New Jersey Register of Historic Places, State Archivist, and county cultural and heritage commissions have been created, with special interests for historiography, bicentennial celebration, ancient cemetery maintenance, landmarks preservation, archives, preservation, and county heritage, in order to encourage an appreciation, understanding and communication of our State heritage and identity.
Notwithstanding programs enlisting the aid of individuals and private associations, the Legislature finds that increased participation to encourage these efforts is necessary, and that the State has an obligation to present and future generations to encourage its citizens to appreciate our cultural, historic and architectural heritage.
