MISSION: IN ACTION
APIAHiP is dedicated to protecting historic places and cultural resources significant to Asian and Pacific Islander Americans through historic preservation and heritage conservation by:
creating an information-sharing network that can provide support for established and emerging historic preservation programs;
establishing educational programs for raising public awareness and impacting historic preservation policy on local, state, and national levels;
increasing public and private resources that enable “historic preservation” and “heritage conservation” practices to meaningfully include educational and community development activities that preserve, conserve, and protect tangible and intangible historic and cultural resources.
ACTION: in PLACE
As an organization dedicated to protecting historic places and cultural resources significant to Asian and Pacific Islander Americans, APIAHiP places a strong emphasis on preservation through action and advocacy.
We focus on maximizing the efforts of our staff, board members, volunteers, and national network of preservationists, urban planners, historians, educators, activists and advocates to achieve the largest impact in underrepresented communities through people-first and place-based applications of historic preservation and heritage conservation practices.
To this end, we prioritize projects and campaigns with the greatest potential for meaningful outcomes.
