    Anniversary DEJANEWS Edition A NEWSLETTER PUBLISHED BY THE RALEIGH HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION It has been said that, at its best, preservation engages the past in a 1 conversation with the present over a mutual concern for the future. 1 William J. Murtagh, Keeping Time:The History and Theory of Preservation in America RHDC 50YEARS Celebrating 50 Years of Preserving Raleigh's Future On December 18, RHDC will celebrate our 50th anniversary. In recognition of this milestone, this issue of our newsletter brings together former and present commissioners, staff, and collaborators to reflect upon our past successes, present programs, and future preservation challenges. Linda Edmisten, one of our earliest friends and colleagues, shares her unique perspective on the people and events that shaped the formative years of our commission. Others contribute their insights into our role in the community and the future of preservation. Inside you will also find a preview of upcoming events designed around our anniversary. Since our commission was first established in 1961, Raleigh has experienced a period of unprecedented growth and change, and the opportunities and challenges now facing us as a result of this change are mirrored in similar communities across our country and in much of the world. The demand for more durable and self-reliant local economies, increased energy and infrastructure efficiencies, and expanded affordable housing options are just a few examples of areas in which preservation can and should contribute to our community. We have decided to change our name to the Raleigh Historic Development Commission to better reflect both the importance of our past as well as the promise of a sustainable future.
