National Trust for Historic Preservation
The National Trust for Historic Preservation is a private, nonprofit membership organization dedicated to saving historic places and revitalizing America's communities. When historic buildings are torn down or allowed to deteriorate, a part of our past disappears forever. When that happens, we lose history that helps us know who we are, and we lose opportunities to live and work in the kinds of interesting and attractive surroundings that older buildings can provide. Williams & Williams is a proud corporate sponsor of the National Trust.

Tulsa Foundation for Architecture
The Tulsa Foundation for Architecture recognizes, records and encourages preservation of the built environment and advocates quality future development that enhances Tulsa's livability.
