HSF’s Preservation Lecture Series helps fulfill HSF’s mission to preserve and protect Savannah’s heritage through advocacy, education and community involvement. The purpose of the series is to educate the public about the  benefits of preservation as well as the value of their architectural surroundings and life style.  Every year a range of topics and venues are selected to highlight the varying aspects of preservation and showcase the different types of architecture that Savannah has to offer. The 2012 Preservation Lecture Series will be sponsored by Cora Bett Thomas Austin Hill & Associates, Realtors and the theme for this year will be “Discovery: Preservation through New Eyes.”
