Attention Members: Nominations Are Now Open!

The Preservation Alliance is an organization driven by its grass-roots tradition. It depends on the feedback it receives from its members to learn about the people, places, and issues affecting historic preservation in WV. Won’t you take a minute to communicate those matters that you would like to see noticed by preservationists around the state?

Endangered List
Each year PAWV compiles an “Endangered List” of historic sites around the state that are in danger of being lost or destroyed due to neglect, demolition, or unsympathetic development. If you have a site you think should be listed on the PAWV’s Endangered List, please send information about the significance of the site and the nature of the threat facing it. If chosen for the list, you will be contacted to provide more information and a photo. All entries should be received on or before the first of April, 2003

Success Stories
This year we will also feature preservation success stories. Whether former endangered sites that have been saved, or simply well-done examples of local preservation action, send us the examples you think deserve special recognition.

Collins Award
PAWV offers an award for an outstanding individual or group who have shown by their actions their dedication to the cause of and impact upon historic preservation in our state. This is the Collins Award, named in memory of Rodney Collins. Mr. Collins worked with special diligence for many years for the State Historic Preservation Office. If you have someone you want to nominate for the 2003 award, please tell us about them. Nominations should be received on or before the first day of July, 2003.

Send all nominations to info@pawv.org (or mail them to the PAWV postal address) and they will be passed on to the appropriate committee.
