The DC Preservation League is a small nonprofit based in Washington, DC, founded in 1971 to safeguard historic buildings and open spaces for future generations. It functions as a citywide advocate in the architecture and planning field, identifying significant sites, monitoring threats to them, and raising public awareness about Washington's historic resources. It runs programs such as an annual Most Endangered Places list and nominates sites to the DC Inventory of Historic Sites, while providing technical assistance to neighborhood groups. Its education and outreach efforts include tours, lectures, conferences, and the production of brochures and a quarterly newsletter. In a recent development, the organization partnered with El Studio to place greater emphasis on history and cultural impact in its tours.
