Virtual Program- Tenacious Women: A History of Preservation in New England
Wednesday, May 24, 6:00 p.m.
At the forefront of New England's preservation movement were women bringing a passion for preservation to the communities where they lived. Yet, somehow, these tenacious women's history is often overlooked or lost from the record. Join Elizabeth Paliga, Preservation Services Manager for Northern New England, as she traces women's participation in preservation through the late 19th and early 20th centuries and elevates their contributions in preserving New England's history.
Elizabeth Paliga joined Historic New England in 2021 as the Preservation Services Manager for Northern New England. She oversees fifty-one privately-owned easement properties, working with homeowners to answer questions about routine maintenance as well as review proposals for larger projects. She also engages with the cultural history of the region by researching the lives of the people who lived at these properties. Elizabeth previously worked with local governments in Scotland to protect vulnerable properties from insensitive alteration. She holds a MSc in Architectural Conservation from the University of Edinburgh and two BAs, in Archaeology and Architectural Studies, from Boston University.
