What's NewFilson Historical Society Archival Survey
The American Institute of Architects Central Kentucky Chapter (AIA CKC) and The Filson Historical Society invite your response to a survey collecting information about the ongoing archival needs of architectural firms in Louisville and the Ohio Valley region. The Filson collects, preserves, and makes available to the public a select sample of our region's notable architectural landmarks and houses the largest architectural collection in Kentucky. The goal of this survey is to encourage firms to make decisions about their records that result in the preservation of our region's rich architectural history for future generations. Through the help of your firm, we hope to enhance the way we assist the architectural profession, the community, and academic researchers for generations to come. This quick survey should only take about five minutes of your time: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Z6TD85X
