American Cultural Resources Association (ACRA)

Our 32nd annual conference, with the theme “Collaboration and Shared Responsibility,” will explore how collective action and mutual accountability intersect with the protection of cultural resources. This includes collaboration among federal, state, tribal, and local entities, as well as the active involvement of communities, practitioners, and other stakeholders. These shared efforts shape how cultural resources are identified, protected, and sustained for future generations. The conference will also feature a San Diego Trolley Tour & Old Town Market Experience, providing insight into San Diego’s layered history, cultural landscapes, and urban development, especially relevant for those working in cultural resources, preservation, and heritage management.
