Common Ground, the award-winning magazine from the National Park Service, offers an in-depth look at the nationwide effort to preserve our heritage in all its forms.

Readers discover aspects of preservation that go largely unobserved - the behind-the-scenes events, the partnerships, the creativity, the innovations that make a real difference in safeguarding our past.

Common Ground's dynamic coverage encompasses the built environment, cultural landscapes, archeological sites, museum collections, shipwrecks, and how history itself is told and heard. In short, the magazine takes in the entire terrain cared for by the professionals of the National Park Service and its partners.

Stories focus not only on preservation writ large, but also on the people making it happen on public and tribal lands and in cities, towns, and neighborhoods across the nation.

Common Ground is published quarterly by the National Park Service for the heritage community.
