DHR staff joined?Commonwealth Preservation Group, LLC?for a day of professional development at Belmead-on-the-James in Powhatan. Designed and built in the mid-1800s, Belmead is one of Virginia’s best examples of Gothic Revival?#architecture. Its post-plantation history is primarily associated with Louise Drexel and her sister Katharine Drexel, founder of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament and the 2nd American-born individual to be canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church. The Drexel sisters led efforts to transform Belmead into two private schools for Black youth in the 1890s. Belmead is among Virginia’s most significant historic properties and a high priority for perpetual preservation! . . . #historicpreservation?#historicpreservationmatters?#history?#virginiahistory?#virginia?#historical

?? On This Day: September 24, 1906 ??? TR Establishes Devils Tower as America’s First National Monument On this day in 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt made history by using the Antiquities Act to designate Devils Tower in Wyoming as the first National Monument in the United States. This iconic landmark, a unique geological formation, was the beginning of Roosevelt’s profound legacy in conservation. ?? The Antiquities Act: The Antiquities Act, signed into law by Roosevelt in 1906, granted the President the authority to protect landmarks, structures, and objects of historic or scientific interest by designating them as national monuments. Roosevelt’s visionary use of this act enabled the preservation of many significant natural and cultural sites across the country. ?? Why Devils Tower: Devils Tower was selected for its unique geological features and its cultural significance to Native American tribes. The towering rock formation, rising 867 feet from its base, is a striking natural wonder that has inspired awe for generations. Its selection highlighted the importance of preserving unique natural landscapes and honoring the cultural heritage associated with such sites. ?? TR’s Support: Theodore Roosevelt was a passionate advocate for conservation. His support for preserving natural landmarks originated from his deep love of the outdoors and his belief in the importance of protecting the environment for future generations. Roosevelt’s experiences as a rancher in the Badlands, a hunter, and a naturalist fueled his dedication to conservation. He believed that America’s natural beauty was a source of national pride and that it was the responsibility of the government to preserve it. ?? Explore and Protect: As we celebrate this milestone, let’s remember the importance of preserving our natural and cultural heritage. Get inspired by Roosevelt’s legacy and consider visiting a national monument or park near you!

As a historian and archivist of the English Catholic Church, I am saddened by the architectural damage done to the interiors of Catholic Churches over the past 50 years. The destruction of altars, pulpits, and altar rails - many with significant historical and architectural value - has been unnecessary and purely driven by the whims of certain priests and bishops. It's disheartening to see the sledgehammer mentality prevail over preservation efforts. This collage of four high altars in Lancashire churches is a prime example of this senseless destruction. All four altars, which were once beautiful and intricate, are now completely obliterated. What's even more disappointing is that three of these churches were listed buildings at the time of the 're-ordering'. It's a shame that the push for modernisation has come at the cost of our cultural heritage. As a community, we must strive to preserve our historical and architectural treasures for future generations. Let us work together to ensure that such destruction does not happen again in the name of progress.

The National Archives' decision to close at least 16 royal files has ignited a fierce debate within the academic and historical community. ?I believe this move, affecting documents accessible for over two decades, raises concerns about transparency. Critics argue that junior staff members may be restricting access without adequate oversight. ?Among the closed files are topics ranging from the Duke of Windsor's 1930s security to the attempted abduction of Princess Anne in 1974 and Prince Andrew's flying training in the late 1970s. The ambiguity surrounding the duration of this closure, especially labeled 'under review,' fuels frustration among researchers, authors, and historians, questioning the balance between archival responsibility and the public's right to historical knowledge. #archival #historical #academicexcellence #responsibilitymatters #historicalfiction #transparencymatters #HistoricalResearch #knowledgeispower
