The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, founded by
artist and craftsman William Morris in 1877, sought to preserve the
integrity of historic buildings by preventing unnecessary repairs
and additions. William Morris's intention and that of the SPAB, as
outlined by the original manifesto, was that buildings of any
period had a life that was best protected through the conservative
repair of what was falling into ruin and the prevention of injury
to buildings by safeguarding them as much as possible and
practical. This practice became known as historic preservation. In
this study, Donovan, relying upon many original documents from the
SPAB archives in London, traces the history of the SPAB from its
foundation in nineteenth-century England to its current activities
in England and Western Europe.
