AIABaltimore Committee page: Historic Resources Committee, May 2006

HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMITTEE Archives

The HRC was formed earlier this year with the goal of being an educational resource for the AIA community about issues pertaining to historic resources. Our focus has been on the creation of a technical database and on facilitating programs and events which focus directly on current rehabilitation and restoration projects at local historic sites. We are also looking into establishing liaisons between the professional AIA community and local college and university preservation programs.
