As part of a presentation that Tim Cannan, President of PreservationDirectory.com, gave at the Architectural Heritage Center's "Old House Fair", we are pleased to announce the availability of a free comprehensive resource guide for historic and cultural resource preservation. The title of the resource guide is "Preservation Resources on the Web" (with emphasis on Portland and Oregon resources).
The presentation is focused on national resources, with an emphasis on resources in Portland and the State of Oregon. The comprehensive resource guide presents primary online resources in the field of historic and cultural resource preservation. Topics include researching your historic home; funding sources and tax credit programs available; utilizing your State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO); finding an undergrad/graduate program in historic preservation; historic real estate resources online; preservation event/conference directories; and much more.
We may develope future resource guides to other locales, but as the presentation was given in Portland, OR, the emphasis is on Portland and Oregon resources.
