preservation societies

Groups protecting history

Preservation societies are organizations dedicated to protecting and maintaining things of historical, cultural, or natural significance.

They work to save historic buildings, conserve wildlife habitats, or maintain traditional practices that might otherwise disappear.

Members typically share an interest in preventing demolition, development, or neglect: The local preservation society fought to save the Victorian courthouse.
