In the last year, tools connected to artificial intelligence (AI) have claimed to make every industry from healthcare to the creative arts more efficient. But what about historic preservation?

Join Preservation Leadership Forum for an introductory webinar about AI and its uses in preservation practice. In this session we’ll go over the basics of using AI, critical considerations about its limitations and impacts to the environment, the importance of considering an organizational policy around its usage, and case studies from those in the field about what worked and what didn’t in two different aspects of preservation work.

An accompanying resource list will be shared with registrants following the session so that you can learn more, and decide for yourself how you want to embrace and use this technology.

When you walk into a historic place, are you drawn to the decorative detail, exposed bricks, and wood paneling? Does talking about restoration work with friends and neighbors bring you joy?

If the answer to these questions is a resounding YES!, join us for a conversation with Carol Quillen, president and CEO of the National Trust, Elizabeth Finkelstein creator and host of the popular HGTV series Who’s Afraid of a Cheap Old House, and Cristiana Peña preservationist and social media strategist for CIRCA Old Houses, as they share their love bringing these often neglected properties back to life and the role they play in creating community across the United States.

This virtual conversation will tackle the joys and challenges around living in and owning an historic home, how these places create stronger connections to neighborhoods and communities, and how they bring a sense of wonder and fun to the preservation process.

This webinar is produced in honor of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s 75th Anniversary.

Since 2020, the National Trust has partnered with CIRCA Old Houses to connect property sellers with interested buyers via the CIRCA Old Houses website and social media channels.
