An Introduction to East Harlem Preservation
East Harlem Preservation, Inc. (EHP) is a volunteer advocacy organization founded in 2005 to promote, preserve, and protect the neighborhood's rich cultural, architectural and environmental history.
We conduct neighborhood tours, coordinate public forums and other projects promoting the neighborhood's history and culture, and regularly document issues of local interest.
We also provide transparency on large-scale developments, affordable housing, and other issues of concern to residents and business owners in East Harlem/El Barrio and surrounding areas through a regularly updated website and monthly e-newsletter.
EHP maintains an extensive electronic library and collection of photographs, historical documents, presentations and reports. Our resources are available to students, educators, and service providers by subscription and/or appointment. For information on rates and scheduling, please contact us by email.
East Harlem Preservation Seeks Volunteers with Community Organizing, Graphic Design, and Media Experience!
We invite local writers, artists, community organizers, educators, web and graphic designers, photographers, video editors, and others to lend their talent and materials! Send us an email for more information about volunteer opportunities, or download a flyer.
