Website Advisory Council on Historic Preservation

A small, independent federal agency, the ACHP oversees the historic preservation review process for federal projects and manages a variety of preservation programs dealing with national preservation policy and legislation, promoting public appreciation of cultural heritage, Indigenous peoples interests, climate change and sustainability, reusing historic building stock for contemporary needs, building a more inclusive preservation program, workforce development, and youth engagement.

Work with the ACHP staff and Latinos for Heritage Conservation (LHC) to identify 3-5 historic sites in the Borderlands of Texas, Arizona, or California that help tell the stories of Latino heritage and history. Research each site and create video incorporating its history, why it is culturally important, and how it came to be designated. Information on Section 106 review and citizen involvement in preserving cultural heritage will also be incorporated into the video and associated outreach materials, including social media content. Materials will be shared via ACHP’s platforms and as part of LHC outreach. The intern will also participate in Office of Communications, Education, and Outreach activities and develop skills in community engagement.
