The many loyal members of the Texas Historical Foundation
will be surprised (and pleased, we hope) by the format and longer,
more scholarly articles they find in the Summer 1990 Heritage.
Preservation has long needed an independent journal in which the
field's policies and strategies could be discussed and shaped, and
this special issue of Heritage marks a move toward filling this need.
At the request of Michael Martin McCarthy, Dean of the College
of Architecture at Texas A&M University, Heritage has reserved
this issue to serve as a forum for critical thinking and debate about
preservation-related interests. Daniel F. MacGilvray, Director of
the college's Center for Historic Resources, generously agreed to
provide additional financial and staff support for this publication.
And what are the concerns of preservation professionals these
days? Judging from the many articles we received, the field has
changed in ways unforeseen in 1966 when President Johnson
signed the National Historic Preservation Act into law. While
cultural resource surveys and National Register nominations
remain for many the linchpin of preservation activities, complex
legal proceedings, innovative economic responses, and creative
land use management are increasingly the instrument of
4 HERITAGE * SUMMER 1990preservation. When office building and condominium
development threaten Walden Pond, and the possibility of mall
construction imperils a nationally important battlefield,
preservationists now respond with an impressive battery of
political, legal, and economic strategies. Preservation professionals
are as likely to know about down-zoning as they are the Secretary
of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, and tleir work in behalf
of rural conservation, intangible cultural resources, declining
neighborhoods, the elderly and the homeless now matches their
attention to threatened landmark structures. The essays in this
journal reflect the deliberations, intellectual diversity, and
increased sophistication of this country's still youthful
preservation movement.
