Abstract: Public Law 105-203 authorizes the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Program to develop and administer the Network to Freedom, a nationwide collection of government and nongovernmental sites, facilities, and programs associated with the historic Underground Railroad movement. The National Park Service has developed an application process through which associated elements can be included in the Network to Freedom. The information collected is used to verify a candidate's historical association to the Underground Railroad and its relevant activities, such as interpretive programs and facilities.
