[OR_Archaeology] Elizabeth Potter HP Awards

[Susan White]

Applications for the 2009 Elisabeth Walton Potter Historic Preservation Advocacy and Education Awards are now being sought from Oregonians in every region of the state who have a special interest in learning how to complement their community's historic preservation efforts.

Each year the State Historic Preservation Office provides these monetary awards to assist award recipients meet travel expenses associated with attending a historic preservation-related conference or workshop. The intended purpose of the awards is to enhance the work of local preservationists by providing access to organizational conferences and other gatherings that focus on issues, methods and other resources valuable to community-level preservation projects. Individual citizens as well as representatives from local landmarks commissions, non-profit groups and governmental agencies are encouraged to apply.

Deadline to submit applications is May 22, 2009.
