Abstract
This issue features background and future plans for a nomination of the South Bronx’s
Casita Rincón Criollo as a Traditional Cultural Property on the National Registry of Historic
Places. Within historic preservation policies in the United States, Casita Rincón Criollo has
served as a challenge and a model for better integrating folklorists into the process of
registry.
Using a historical overview Molly Garfinkel, Director of Place Matters, outlines the territory of
issues involved in this complex and challenging process. Additionally, the following article
introduces Place Matters as a program that identifies, promotes, supports, and protects
distinctive cultural traditions and environments in New York City.
