The 2011 Fitch Forum, 45 Years of Preservation Law: New York City and the Nation, the Past and the Future, will be held on February 5, 2011 in Wood Auditorium in Avery Hall.  The Forum will provide an opportunity for preservationists both in New York City and throughout the country to take stock of the progress made toward a robust preservation jurisprudence since New york City's landmarks ordinance was enacted in 1965.  To assess this progress, experts in the fields of preservation, law, planning and architecture have been invited to speak on a myriad of related subjects, highlighting both the successes and the shortcomings of preservation law and policy.  The conference will examine the debates currently shaping preservation advocacy and explore new and innovative ideas to strengthen the protection of our nation's historic resources.  More information is available at the conference website, www.fitchforum.com.  To register, visit http://fitchforum.eventbrite.com.
