2022 MEP (Most Endangered Property) Providence Preservation Society
“How do we capture the intangible surviving memory and generational trauma experienced by the people displaced from their neighborhood? PPS is proud to recognize the work of FPCVHP and their team as they leverage 21st-century digital technology to preserve, maintain, and create a digital footprint of the living but physically erased history of Rhode Island’s first Cape Verdean neighborhood. The awareness and protection of intangible heritage challenges us, as preservationists, to widen the definition of place significance and to encourage the commemoration of the unseen.”
Building history, one story at a time: preservation , utilizing and leveraging digital tools and platforms
