Fitch was an architect, preservationist, and a founder of the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at Columbia University.

The topic for this year will be "The Preservationists' Eye: Esthetics in Reuse and Conservation of the Historic Built Environment" and will be held at the recently restored Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at 15 East 84th Street in New York City.

The deadline for applying for the Fitch Mid-Career Grant and the Richard L.

At the time, the heritage preservation community was initially a little distrustful of these technologies. That began to change earlier this year, once folks realized that social media at its most effective is rooted in bringing together people of like interests and values to better one another and the societies in which they live, regardless of their location in the world. It's as if this was created for our cause!

This post offers a little insight into what NCPTT is doing in social media and how our efforts might benefit you as well.]]> http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/how-ncptt-uses-social-media/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/nationwide-cemetery-preservation-summit/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/nationwide-cemetery-preservation-summit/#comments Mon, 31 Aug 2009 12:00:43 +0000 Jason Church http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=2754 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/nationwide-cemetery-preservation-summit/feed/ 3
