- NEW Perfect Storm tools are now available! As stimulus funds begin making their way into states and local communities, the Center for State and Local Policy and Statewide and Local Partnerships of the National Trust for Historic Preservation are continuing to develop tools to help. We're doing this in partnership with the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the National Park Service and others.
Following a series of Perfect Storm calls with more than 200 participants from 46 states, we've expanded and developed new resources to help as states and communities work to make a strong case for historic preservation as a stimulus activity. The stimulus presents an unprecedented opportunity for funding "preservation-ready" projects that will generate jobs and build the economy. Check out the Perfect Storm web page.
- Since October of 2007, ASC Staff Archaeologist Michael Newland has been contributing radio commentaries on the intersections between archaeology and everyday life to the Perspectives Series, broadcast weekly from KQED Public Radio in San Francisco. The focus of Perspectives is on California in general and the Bay Area more specifically. Mike works with Perspectives editor Mark Trautwein and the KQED recording personnel for each piece. Links for Mike's commentaries are here.
