Preservation (heritage conservation)

Heritage conservation is the practice of protecting and maintaining historic sites, buildings, and objects to preserve their cultural significance for future generations. It involves careful planning, repair, and management to prevent deterioration while respecting the original architecture and materials. The goal is to ensure that these cultural landmarks continue to tell stories about the past, reflect community identity, and contribute to our shared history. Conservation professionals use specialized techniques to stabilize and restore structures, balancing preservation with modern safety and functionality standards. It’s about safeguarding our cultural legacy while allowing ongoing appreciation and use.
