About Us
Officially established in 1972, Preservation Institute Nantucket (PIN) is one of the nation’s oldest, continually operating field school for historic preservation. The program prepares the next generation of heritage specialists as part of applied research and learning that helps document, conserve and manage the island’s historical, architectural and cultural resources.
Participants come from institutions across the country and abroad to explore heritage at three scales: urban and cultural landscape, architecture and interiors, and materials and technologies. Each summer, guest lecturers and instructors from public agencies and private organizations – from on and off the island – introduce topics impacting heritage conservation globally, including: values, policies, threats, interpretation, technology, and entrepreneurship.
