The mission of the Historic Resources Committee (HRC) is to identify, understand, and preserve architectural heritage, both nationally and internationally. HRC is engaged in promoting the role of the historic architect within the profession through the development of information and knowledge among members, allied professional organizations, and the public.
During the month of June, HRC Chair Peyton Hall, FAIA helped AIA Advocacy and Government Affairs staff prepare and deliver a letter to NPS Director Jonathan B. Jarvis – which was cosigned by representatives from the American Council of Engineering Companies, the American Institute of Architects, the American Society of Landscape Architects and the National Trust for Historic Preservation – encouraging the continuation of the important work of HABS/HAER/HALS; and, urging continued support and funding of these programs so that the National Park Service can continue this vital work that provides a critical resource for all architectural practitioners, educators and students.
