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, formally known as Historic  Massachusetts, Inc., 
was established in 1985 by citizens concerned with  strengthening advocacy 
for our state’s valuable historic resources, our  neighborhoods, buildings 
and 
landscapes. Today, Preservation  Massachusetts works in partnership with 
national, state 
and local  preservation organizations and individuals across the Commonwealth 
to  preserve our heritage. Preservation 201 was developed by the Historic  
Districts/Historical Commissions Committee of Preservation  Massachusetts. 
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.
