Revisit these Oregon Heritage Exchange Blog stories highlighting women's history in Oregon
During women's history month in March, many heritage organizations provide opportunities for communities to hone in on the stories of women. Oregon Heritage has shared on the Oregon Heritage Exchange Blog some of the work these heritage organizations have done around preserving the stories of women in Oregon and you can view a collection of these stories here<https://oregonheritage.wordpress.com/tag/womens-history/>.
The Oregon Heritage Exchange Blog<https://oregonheritage.wordpress.com/> is a platform for Oregon Heritage to share stories of heritage preservation work being done around the state. We are currently seeking examples related to the four goals of the Oregon Heritage Plan: Include more voices, Pursue best practices, Share the value of heritage, Increase access to heritage. If you have a story to share, contact cam.amabile at oprd.oregon.gov<mailto:cam.amabile at oprd.oregon.gov>.

Federal Tax Incentives for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings Annual Report for 2022 Released
The Annual Report<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDAsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzAzMDguNzI5NTk3MzEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5ucHMuZ292L3N1YmplY3RzL3RheGluY2VudGl2ZXMvdXBsb2FkL3JlcG9ydC0yMDIyLWFubnVhbC5wZGY_dXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWdvdmRlbGl2ZXJ5In0.rlI1q7wQ7ucn3vrzj6RXf8oHZvelCeChvSLy1DjzxS8/s/2570683635/br/155819752813-l> highlights the $6.56 billion investment in 858 completed rehabilitations of historic buildings in Fiscal Year 2022. The report also features a case study of the Worcester County Courthouse, Worcester, Massachusetts, a decommissioned municipal complex that was rehabilitated for mixed-income multi-family housing and a museum. The project preserved historic courtrooms, lobbies, and stairs, as well as features and finishes throughout the complex.
With over 48,000 completed projects since its enactment in 1976, the program has leveraged over $122.90 billion in private investment in the rehabilitation of historic properties-spurring the rehabilitation of historic structures of every period, size, style, and type in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Identifying collections materials that are priorities for salvage is an important part of an organization's emergency preparedness and response plan. Often in an emergency, we cannot save it all, and decisions will have to be made. But how do we go about choosing what items to save first? This can seem like a daunting task, but by establishing guidelines and planning, collection salvage priorities can become not-so-impossible choices. In this webinar, we'll look at what makes collections most vulnerable to damage and how that can inform our parameters for salvage priorities. Types and formats of materials to prioritize during recovery efforts will be discussed, along with how this information can be used to benefit an institution's emergency preparedness.

NPS Resource: Before and after disasters guidance document
As natural disasters increase in frequency and intensity, it's important that communities are aware of the federal aid available for protecting historic resources in times of crisis. To respond, several agencies have partnered to create a "Before and After Disasters" guidance document, which lays out the federal aid available to historic preservation leaders in the aftermath of a federally declared disaster.
The online version is available at Before and After Disasters: Guidance for State and Tribal Historic Preservation Leaders on Working with FEMA, NPS, and Other Federal Agencies<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzAzMTAuNzMwOTEwMTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5ucHMuZ292L2FydGljbGVzLzAwMC9iZWZvcmUtYW5kLWFmdGVyLWRpc2FzdGVycy1ndWlkYW5jZS1mb3Itc3RhdGUtYW5kLXRyaWJhbC1oaXN0b3JpYy1wcmVzZXJ2YXRpb24tbGVhZGVycy1vbi13b3JraW5nLXdpdGgtZmVtYS1ucHMtYW5kLW90aGVyLWZlZGVyYWwtYWdlbmNpZXMuaHRtP3V0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1nb3ZkZWxpdmVyeSJ9.4Ek8aMcC43zBYlyB8zBKdSwxRxIsfEdBmxqRofcTUpQ/s/2157850840/br/155939627653-l>.
