From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Historic preservation or heritage conservation is a professional endeavor that seeks to preserve the ability of older (e.g., "historic") objects to communicate an intended meaning. This meaning is rooted in cultural and social processes that negotiate how the authenticity of the historical object should be expressed. More recently historic preservation has subsumed issues of healthy living, sustainability, and green building to justify the retention of the older built environment.
These "objects" can consist of any kind of cultural material of any scale, from something microscopic to the scale of entire landscapes. Traditionally, however, historic preservation has been interpreted to only apply to individual buildings. It is this definition that is most commonly accepted by the public.
Although historic preservation is practiced around the world, the term "historic preservation" is only used in the United States. Other English-speaking countries will use the term "heritage conservation" in a broad sense and "architectural conservation" in a narrow sense when dealing specifically with buildings. Other terminology that is used includes "urban conservation," "landscape preservation," "built environment conservation," "built heritage conservation," "object conservation," and "immovable object conservation."
