Survey: Challenges and Innovations Occurring in the Preservation Field

The National Trust for Historic Preservation is interested in gaining an understanding from stakeholders across the preservation field of their core values, the challenges they are currently facing, and the work in which they currently engaged.  This information will help us better understand the opportunities that are available for meaningful collaboration.

With our partners, we are soliciting your input through this brief survey on the challenges and innovations occurring in the preservation field. A synthesis of the findings will be shared later this fall with all survey participants.

The National Trust is committed to finding innovative approaches to sustain the operation of historic sites, maintaining a strong voice for preservation through legal, legislative and public advocacy, and providing technical support and outreach services such as grants, research, conferences and trainings to help protect historic places across the country.
