[OR_Archaeology] A source of funding for attending conferences!

[Susan White]

The 2010 Elisabeth Potter Historic Preservation Advocacy & Education Awards application has been posted on our website: www.oregonheritage.org 

Each year the State Historic Preservation Office provides financial assistance to recipients of these competitive awards to help cover travel expenses to historic preservation-related conferences and workshops held in the U.S. The purpose of this funding is to encourage people to obtain new skills in support of their local community's preservation efforts or specific projects.

Over the years, Potter Award winners have traveled to meetings and other gatherings that focused on cultural landscapes and gardens, historic cemeteries, preservation and historic renovation trades, cultural resource management issues, and historic roads as well as the development of effective preservation organizations.

The deadline for submission of applications is May 28. Winners will be announced by mid-June.
