The Asian/Pacific Islander Historic Preservation ListserveThe National Trust for Historic Preservation is launching the Asian/Pacific Islander Historic Preservation Listserve. Initially created as a means of continuing the discussion that began at the Asian-American/Pacific Islander Historic Preservation Forum in San Francisco last June, access is open to all (community leaders, preservation professionals, students) who are interested in furthering preservation of API heritage and historic sites. 

As attendees of the API Historic Preservation Forum, we have taken the liberty of registering you for the APIHiP listserve.  In a couple of hours you will receive a confirmation email from Lyris indicating that you have been automatically subscribed for the apihip-l.  This email will include guidelines for participating in the listserve and answers to frequently asked questions.  As listserve members, you can send email messages to other listserve members with the click of a button (APIHIP-L [at] LISTS.NATIONALTRUST.ORG) instead of having to limit your communications to those whose email addresses are already in your contact lists.

Although the guidelines will provide directions for this, you can unsubscribe from the listserve by clicking the unsubscribe link provided at the end of all APIHIP-L listserve messages.

Dora Quach, Administrative Director of the Chinese American Museum in Los Angeles, moderates this new resource which enables users to reach out to a community working to preserve cultural heritage and places of importance to this nation’s past.  Dora will act according to the established guidelines you will receive shortly.

Those who you think could benefit from participating in this ongoing discussion about API cultural heritage and historic landmarks can subscribe by sending an email with no message to SUBSCRIBE-APIHIP-L [at] LISTS.NATIONALTRUST.ORG.  After clicking on this email link and sending a blank email message to this address, they will receive a confirmation.  This hello email will comprise of the guidelines previously discussed.

Thanks in advance for your patience with this new communication tool. 

Best,

Tanya
