"Cultural preservationists have turned to the natural conservation movement that President Theodore Roosevelt championed as an inspiration for the conservation of our cultural heritage. Peter Brink, Vice President of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, has said, “Our measurement and ideal is the environmental movement, and that is where we would like eventually to be, where preservation is built into the way people think.” While most preservation efforts are undertaken through private initiative, more people are thinking of our shared cultural heritage as also a public good.
This public interest in preservation results in government policies, programs and support that augment and leverage private efforts. Many of these critical public sector efforts occur at the state and local levels. But in preservation, the federal leadership has provided an essential framework for the myriad of private, local, and state initiatives. This report focuses on the preservation efforts, strategies and structures of the federal government."
