Preserve America News: First Lady Designates New Preserve America Steward
On May 9, First Lady Michelle Obama designated the Texas Archeological Society as a Preserve America Steward in recognition of its volunteer program. Preserve America Steward designation recognizes programs that demonstrate a successful use of volunteer time and commitment in order to help care for our historic heritage.
Through its volunteer program, the Texas Archeological Society provides the manpower to assist state and federal agencies, universities and private landowners in discovering and protecting archaeological sites on their property. Through Field Schools, volunteers help to survey and excavate sites, and to clean, catalog and inventory artifact collections. Volunteers also help to measure, draw, describe and photograph rock art throughout the state.
