Preservation Virginia is partnering with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources for two webinars that may be of interest to ACRA members:

Making Historic Preservation More Inclusive
Friday, July 17
10 a.m.

Telling the full story of our history is vital. Audrey P. Davis, director of the Alexandria Black History Museum, and representatives from this year's listing of Virginia's Most Endangered Historic Places will share their perspectives and how their work is expanding narratives that have often been suppressed, excluded and misrepresented in the mainstream telling of history.

The Role of Historic Preservation in Recovering from the COVID-19 Pandemic
Friday, July 24
10 a.m.

Join PlaceEconomics, the Department of Historic Resources, the Virginia Tourism Corporation, the National Trust Community Investment Corporation, the Norfolk Preservation Collective and Preservation Virginia in a discussion on adapting preservation during the pandemic and the role of historic preservation in economic recovery.

You can register for both of these webinars here, and don't forget about ACRA's own 2020 webinar series - our next session on emerging technology for heritage management and Section 106 compliance is this Thursday, July 16 at 2:00 pm EDT!
