Preservation

America's legacy, and ours as citizens, is made up of a fabric of buildings, places, documents, records, artifacts and artistic works. The President's Committee promotes the preservation of this legacy. PCAH programs encompass both the integrity of place and the value of its cultural life, as well as helping communities use their heritage and cultural resources as assets that contribute to the economic health, livability and vitality of communities and neighborhoods.
