Not all historic and culturally significant artifacts can be housed inside a museum or historic gallery. There are historic buildings and sites, even entire towns that have been identified as historically significant to deserve preservation government funding and management under a competent Historic Side Administrator. Much like managing a museum, the Historic Site Administrator often works with civic associations, universities, NGOs and government commission to raise funds, launch commemorative events and oversee public tours to historic sites.
