Membership
Membership is open to any individual or institution who has an active interest in cooperative approaches to protecting our state's heritage. This is a volunteer-based organization and there are no dues or fees. Knowing one day you may be the one in need, you are encouraged to assist other cultural and historic resources organizations during disasters by offering existing resources. Examples of resources to offer include sharing knowledge of cultural and historic resources in your community to aid in identifying those at-risk, providing engineering or architectural expertise related to historic buildings, or helping to secure storage space to temporarily house an evacuated collection or displaced organization.
