The 'External Link' column has an entry for some (but not all) properties that links to the corresponding file of the National Register nomination form stored on the National Archives website. For example, the Wainwright Building in St. Louis, Missouri, listed in 1968, points to https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63818176. On the NARA page, the PDF is automatically loaded within a frame on the page. A user is also given the option to download the file directly to their desktop. | The 'External Link' column has an entry for some (but not all) properties that links to the corresponding file of the National Register nomination form stored on the National Archives website.

It is worth noting that some of the PDFs on the NARA website contain not just the National Register nomination form, but other related documents such as correspondence to/from SHPOs, public petitions for/against listings, and other archival research and records relevant to the building being nominated. PDF files of nomination forms downloaded through other NPS websites (such as the [https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP NPGallery] ) or corresponding SHPO online repositories likely don't include these supplementary documents. The National Register nomination form for the Wainwright Building is just 12 pages long, but the PDF stored on the NARA website is 401 pages, and includes a publication titled ''[https://archive.org/details/randall-1967-the-wainwright-building-a-public-appeal-for-preservation The Wainwright Building, A Public Appeal For Preservation].'' | It is worth noting that some of the PDFs on the NARA website contain not just the National Register nomination form, but other related documents such as correspondence to/from SHPOs, public petitions for/against listings, and other archival research and records relevant to the building being nominated.
