The preservation of historic buildings and landscapes gained momentum between 1880-1920. This inter-disciplinary conference examines preservation as a national, trans-national and inter-national cultural movement in the period leading to the formation of the League of Nations. Supported by artists and architects, writers, historians, landscape architects, religious leaders, and politicians, preservation was promoted by voluntarist groups, institutions, and the state. Countries covered include: Algeria, America, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Turkey, Sri Lanka, Sweden. Conference Convened by Melanie Hall, Boston University
