Preferred term

historic preservation  

Definition

  • Historic preservation is historical method and includes conserving, rehabilitating, restoring, and reconstructing the built environment as a useful primary source for the study and interpretation of history. Historians have not always recognized its value, and the historic preservation movement developed to some degree without their participation.
