Reservations on Preservation

December 14, 2005 is a date worth noting if you are a preservationist - - unlike appalling Paul LeClerc or Susan C.Y.A. Kent.
• • Next Wednesday there's an event organized by the New York Preservation Archive Project: 2nd Annual Bard Birthday Breakfast Benefit 2005.
• • WHERE: Harvard Club of NYC [27 West 44th Street]

• • The mission of the New York Preservation Archive Project is to protect the endangered narratives of historic preservation in New York, example, the account of Giorgio Cavaglieri's adaptative re-use of Jefferson Market Court into a library in 1967. Through public programs, outreach, celebration, and the creation of public access to information, the Project hopes to bring these stories to light and to the public.
• • NYPAP and journalist Roberta Brandes Gratz received funding to create a database of Ms. Gratz's extensive writing on the historic preservation movement in New York City [Roberta Gratz, 25 Central Park W, New York, NY 10023].
• • Contact NYPAP [174 East 80th St., NY, NY 10021] by writing to Rudie Hurwitz, Director < rhurwitz@nypap.org > or visit NYPAP online: http://www.nypap.org/
• • Please mention how you heard about NYPAP.
