The  community-wide survey is a preservation planning and research tool. 
Completing a  comprehensive inventory represents a town’s historical development 
by being  chronologically and geographically comprehensive, and reflecting a 
full range of  historic resource types within a community. Preservation 201 will 
assist you to  meet those goals and include topics such as organizing a 
survey project and  identifying local survey priorities, developing historic 
contexts, use of  architectural terms in drafting property descriptions, and 
completing historic  property inventory forms, with a focus on Form B-Building. 


Preservation  Massachusetts  works in partnership with national, state and 
local preservation organizations  and individuals across the Commonwealth to 
advocacy for our state’s valuable  historic resources, neighborhoods, buildings 
and landscapes. Preservation 201  was developed by the Historic 
Districts/Historical Commissions Committee of  Preservation Mass. The committee is composed 
of historic preservation  professionals working at the state and local level, 
and volunteers its time and  experience to help inform local preservation 
groups about the many preservation  resources and preservation planning practices 
in the  state. 


The Massachusetts Historical  Commission  (MHC) is a state agency within the 
office of William Francis Galvin, Secretary  of the Commonwealth. The mission 
of MHC is to identify, evaluate and protect the  historic and archaeological 
resources of the Commonwealth.
