PLNYS Preservation Colleagues

In 1997 the Preservation League of New York State began the Preservation Colleagues program as a means of strengthening the work of preservationists across New York State.

Joining the Preservation League in support of this program is the Architecture, Planning and Design Program of the New York State Council on the Arts. Preservation Colleagues are the front-line advocates and the behind-the-scenes heroes working on behalf of endangered landmarks, historic neighborhoods, rural landscapes and commercial centers in their respective service areas.

The Preservation Colleagues program fosters stronger bonds among the organizations to advance the goals of individual groups and to promote a statewide preservation agenda collectively.
