Project Description
So much of our future lies in preserving our past
- Peter Westbrook
The world around us is advancing at mind-boggling speeds. No sooner have we developed cutting edge technology or equipment, they are rendered obsolete by the next generation of improvements. The message that is being delivered is that we either change with the times, or be left behind. So then, why should we concern ourselves with the past and the concept of historic preservation?
Because historical events have made us who we are and will influence who we are to become. These are things that are worthy of preservation. Historic preservation is generally regarded as the practice of protecting or preserving sites, buildings, structures, objects or districts which reflect elements of cultural, social, economic, political, archaeological or architectural history. This history is important because it connects us to specific times, places and events that were significant milestones in our collective past. There are many ways people have preserved history and digitalisation is the newest form for preserving history. There are many more. Interested in finding out?
