How to Find Advocates for Historic Preservation and Get the Masses of the People Involved

Updated: Jun 20, 2022

What is the building or site that you want to save? Is it one building or a whole neighborhood?


When saving a building from neglect or demolition the best way is to find and make a list of all the people who can help in the saving and preservation of the building that needs attention.


“Who are the people in the surrounding community?.” Make a list of every group of people in the surrounding community which can all bring support in saving a historic site.

Here is a list of various groups of people who can offer support and

should be considered in contacting and stating your cause.

17) Realtors in the area

18) People and families of people who have had connections to the site like former workers if the site was an workplace, if an educational institution, people who have been former students or their families


The main action that is the most effective is to get as many people involved creating the masses of the people such as the whole neighborhood. People from each of these groups mentioned above should be on the list of contacts as each one will give their support.
