Kilpatrick he past year has been one of change and challenge for historic preservation in Virginia—some of it slow, some of it breathtakingly fast. Two statewide preservation organizations merged Tafter a lengthy period of careful study and negotiation. And several private and public institu- tions had to react immediately to save valuable archaeological collections following some of the most torrential rains and weather damage seen here in many years. The good news is that—perhaps despite the need for change or perhaps because of it—the historic preservation ethic in Virginia is stronger than ever. Examples abound. In the spring of 2004, the Preservation Alliance of Virginia (PAV) and the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APVA) merged to form APVA Preservation Virginia. The APVA, established in 1889 and one of the oldest preservation organizations in the United States, has protected and interpreted historic Virginia properties for more than a century. The PAV, a 20-year- old advocacy organization, advanced the cause of preservation at the local, state, and federal levels. Both organizations were known as well for their excellent educational programs. In 2003, facilitated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, they began a yearlong process “to explore joining forces to form a single, unified voice to promote preservation across the Commonwealth.” The result—judging from the conference that APVA Preservation Virginia and the Department cohosted last November—is a strong, multi-dimensional organization that will have a positive effect on preservation education and advocacy. This issue of Notes on Virginia contains articles addressing some of the several challenges we in the preservation community recently faced. A slow economy has long been affecting federal, state, and local government budgets. The Department’s services and programs, such as the cost–share sur- vey program, are so valuable to Virginia’s citizens that Rappahannock County residents raised much of the funding needed to complete the county’s historic resources survey. DHR’s Winchester Region Preservation Office director David A. Edwards and Laura V. Trieschmann of EHT Traceries, Inc., tell that success story in “Taking Stock: Rappahannock County Surveys Historic Properties and Sites.” The hot topic of whether or not to move historic buildings, and a brief history of the subject in Virginia, is presented in “History on the Move: Virginia’s Architectural Treasures Often End Up Far From Home” by architectural historian Bryan Clark Green. And Melba J. Myers, DHR’s conser- vator, writes about the near-disastrous effects of Hurricane Isabel and Tropical Storm Gaston on some of Virginia’s priceless archaeological artifacts in “After the Deluge: Floods Put Conservators’ Triage Skills to the Test.” You will also read in this issue of Notes how the register, easement, and tax credit programs con- tinue to meet the challenges of steadily increasing public interest. This interest is exactly what we want to see, of course, but there is no question that it places growing demands on the time and ener- gy of a small staff. Not only did the number of National Register of Historic Places and Virginia Landmarks Register nominations increase from 94 in 2003 to 107 in 2004, but proposed tax credit projects rose from 186 to 209 during the same period. In addition, the Department now administers 369 historic preservation easements. Throughout its history, but seemingly more so in recent years, Virginia has become more cultur- ally diverse. The Department has responded by identifying and celebrating the history that various cultures have made in the Commonwealth. We have recognized these contributions through the sub- ject matter displayed on the historical highway markers that dot the state’s highways—a program we 3 have administered for many years. We have also nominated to the registers increasing numbers of properties that reflect Virginia’s cultural diversity. During the past year alone, the Department nomi- nated 25 such properties and three related Multiple Property Documentation forms (African American Historic Resources of Alexandria, Virginia; Rosenwald Schools in Virginia; and United Daughters of the Confederacy Commemorative Highway Markers Along the Jefferson Davis Highway in Virginia). The Department has also played a major role in one of the Commonwealth’s most significant projects: the rehabilitation of Capitol Square and Thomas Jefferson’s Capitol, a National Historic Landmark. We helped shape strategy, especially for the Square itself, by encouraging the preserva- tion and restoration of the Finance Building, a visual landmark that had long been slated for demoli- tion. Our activities with regard to Capitol Square reflect our longstanding advocacy for the preserva- tion of Virginia’s

The permanent residents, although appurtenant to the changing official element, nevertheless furnished the framework which the larger and more important social life used to build upon, and the result was a structure of society tolerably compact and pleasing and certainly interesting. It was emphatically official, but it did not include the lower class officials, who found their recreation for the most part at the street resorts, and its tone was dignified and wholesome.
