Surveying the past, present, and future of historic preservation in
America, this book features fifteen essays by some of the most
important voices in the field. A Richer Heritage will be an
essential, thought-provoking guide for professionals as well as
administrators, volunteers, and policy makers involved in
preservation efforts. An introduction traces the evolution of
historic preservation in America, highlighting the principle ideas
and events that have shaped and continue to shape the movement. The
book also describes the workings - legal, administrative, and
fiscal - of the layered federal, state, and local government
partnership put in place by Congress in 1966. Individual chapters
explore the preservation of designed and vernacular landscapes, the
relationship between historic preservation and the larger
environmental and land-trust movements, the role of new private and
nonprofit players, racial and ethnic interests in historic
preservation, and the preservation of our intangible cultural
values. A concluding chapter analyzes the present state of the
historic preservation movement and suggests future directions for
the field in the twenty-first century. Contributors include
preservationists, local-government citizen activists, architects,
landscape architects, environmentalists, an archaeologist, a
real-estate developer, historians, a Native American tribal leader,
an ethnologist, and lawyers.
