The mission of the AIA Historic Resources Committee (HRC) is to identify, understand, and help preserve our architectural heritage in the United States and throughout the world, as well as to promote the role of the historic preservation architect in the preservation of historic buildings both within the profession and in the larger society.

The oldest continually functioning committee of the American Institute of Architects, the Historic Resources Committee currently consists of approximately 4,800 architects from the private and public sectors who share an interest, expertise, and/or career focus in historic preservation. The HRC disseminates knowledge and information through conferences, workshops, Web-based publications, and AIA convention programs.

As sustainability becomes a more urgent social and environmental priority, a larger percentage of the work of architects includes existing structures. As a result, preservation has moved into the mainstream of our communal, cultural, and economic interests. The HRC fosters and sustains the role of the architect as an expert leader in historic preservation by offering an array of knowledge resources in preservation practice, technology, and education.

HRC members monitor and manage the balance between philosophical ideals and business realities and serve as liaison to a variety of allied preservation organizations, agencies, and programs. The interdisciplinary culture of HRC educational events enhances the quality of the knowledge shared and provides sponsors with unique opportunities to reach all decision-makers in the historic preservation industry.

HRC members and their allies throughout the design and construction industries are a highly qualified audience of prospective customers and business partners. The HRC welcomes as sponsors companies that share its commitment to design excellence in historic preservation.
