I just returned from the American Association for State and Local History Conference in Richmond, Virginia, and it was a huge success! I was so excited to meet so many state leaders, staff, friends-of groups, and history buffs. You can view my presentation here. The presentation was a panel including the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency and Heritage Consulting Inc (Donna Ann Harris & Myself). This presentation looks at many of the issues facing state-owned historic sites and some of the ways states have looked to raise revenue, reduce expenses, and restructure operations. I will certainly keep you posted on any interesting developments.
