Historic Preservation Resources
The Columbia Program is supported by the resources of the School of Architecture Planning and Preservation and of Columbia University. The Program's architectural conservation lab, the nation's first, is fully equipped for contemporary analytic work. Research at Columbia is supported by the resources of the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library, the finest in the Western Hemisphere. Columbia studios, courses and workshops take full advantage of its home in New York, the most important historic city in the United States.
Fitch Colloquium
Named for the founder of formal preservation education at Columbia and in the United States, the James Marston Fitch Colloquium became an annual event in 2000. In a day-long colloquium, students, alums, and guests hear speakers and engage in discussion over current issues in preservation— attempting to discover and define the leading edge of the discipline.
Past topics have included Target Architecture: The Role of Old Buildings in the Management of Global Conflict, Authenticity and Innovation: Ideals for Design with Old Buildings, and Drawing the Line: Are There Bounds to Preservation?

Program Council is responsible for coordinating events relating to new and prospective students, acting as intermediaries between HP students and the department as well as between the GSAPP and HP students. Program Council helps develop the Historic Preservation portion of the GSAPP-wide Open House in October, an Open House for admitted, prospective students in the spring, and the Orientation for new students in the summer. The HP Program Council members work with Program Council members from other programs in the school to organize and run schoolwide meetings and events. The members are also responsible for fielding questions from prospective students throughout the year.
Elections for Program Council are usually held at the beginning of each school year.
