- Biographical / Historical:
The Preservation League of New York State was established in Rensselaerville, New York in June 1973 when a group of preservationists gathered together to focus on a need for an organization whose mission would be to promote the ethics and tools of preservation while providing assistance throughout the state and helping to shape federal, state, and local policies. During the last four decades, the Preservation League has educated New Yorkers through the dissemination of its publications and creation of a variety of seminars, presentations, and workshops on the resources available to help protect, maintain, and restore properties.
The Preservation League is still active today.
