Graduate Thesis Presentations

The Historic Districts Council is pleased to present an evening of recent work by graduate students in the field of historic preservation.

As the only citywide voice for community-based preservation, the Historic Districts Council is eager to recognize graduate work that makes a contribution to historic preservation in New York City. The evening’s six presentations address the full spectrum of issues: cultural, political, esthetic, material, historical and others. We wish to enrich the field of preservation advocacy in New York City by making fresh scholarship available to a wide audience.
