The Alaska Association for Historic Preservation (AAHP) is currently seeking nominations for Alaskas Ten Most Endangered Historic Properties for 2013. The list is announced each year and is intended to bring public awareness to Alaskas threatened historic properties. Heightened awareness often leads to increased support for the conservation of endangered historic properties, which are assets important to tourism, economic development, and the cultural heritage of Alaska.  AAHP has been identifying the Most Endangered Historic Properties since 1991.

The Ten Most Endangered Grant Program funds hands-on preservation work on endangered properties and serves as seed money to leverage funding from other sources. The program calls attention to threatened properties that define our great state, the people that live here and the identity that we share. The nominations for this program are submitted by individuals and organizations living throughout Alaska.

Founded in 1981 as a private, nonprofit corporation, AAHP is dedicated to the preservation of Alaskas prehistoric and historic heritage as manifested in its buildings and sites. AAHP aids in historic preservation projects across Alaska and monitors and supports legislation to promote historic preservation, serving as a liaison between local, statewide, and national historic preservation groups. Additionally, AAHP publishes a quarterly newsletter and holds educational workshops. 

To nominate a property, download and fill out the form on the AAHP website (www.aahp-online.net).  Nominations are due March 31, 2013.  For more information contact Allegra Hamer at 907-929-9870 or akpreservation@gmail.com.
