Nominations for Ten Most Endangered Historic Properties for 2015 are now being accepted. Deadline is March 31, 2015.
Nominations for the 2015 Ten Most Endangered Historic Properties in Alaska are now being solicited. AAHP has been identifying the most endangered historic properties annually since 1991. The nominations for this program are submitted by individuals and organizations throughout Alaska. The deadline for nominations to this year's list is March 31, 2015.
The list is announced each May, in conjunction with National Historic Preservation Week. The program is intended to bring public awareness to Alaska's threatened historic properties. Heightened awareness often leads to increased support for the conservation of endangered historic properties, which are assets important to tourism, economic development, and the cultural heritage of Alaska.
Historic properties named to the list are eligible to apply for a matching grant through AAHP's Ten Most Endangered Grant Program, which funds hands-on preservation work on endangered properties and serves as seed money to leverage funding from other sources.
