Preservation Long Island is a not-for-profit organization focused on protecting, preserving, and celebrating Long Island’s cultural heritage through advocacy, education, and the stewardship of historic sites and collections. Its work includes interpreting historic sites, collecting art and material culture related to Long Island history, creating publications and exhibits, and offering direct support to individuals and groups engaged in local preservation efforts. The organization serves communities across Long Island by raising awareness and support for preservation, addressing the needs of local history enthusiasts, researchers, educators, and partner institutions seeking guidance on preservation projects. Based in Cold Spring Harbor, New York, Preservation Long Island traces its origins to 1948 when it was founded as the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities, and it continues to operate within the museums, historical sites, and cultural heritage sector. In 2017, the group adopted its current name to better reflect its mission, and in recent years has engaged in activities such as collaborations with other institutions and exhibitions tied to regional history and democracy, including partnerships and public programs at its gallery and historic properties.
