Keeping Our Past Alive: Historic Preservation Enters
the Mainstream celebrates historic preservation in the United States
by examining past accomplishments as well as current trends and directions
in the field. Historic preservationists regard the environment of buildings
and other structures as an enduring human legacy that provides context
for understanding the history, character and aspirations of society.
Keeping Our Past Alive traces the evolution of the urge to save significant
sites and examines how the historic preservation movement broadened its
scope over the last 150 years. Drawing on many examples of historic preservation
in Maryland, Keeping Our Past Alive explores the movement’s
emergence into the mainstream of the American consciousness. |
