Woodstock - Preservation Archives
"Dedicated to the Historic Preservation of the Site of the
1969 Woodstock Music and Arts Festival"
In the wake of the efforts that took place in pursuit of the
historic preservation of the original Woodstock Site, a new website
has emerged - the Woodstock - Preservation Archives, which may
be one of the best sources of Woodstock information for the interested
public and students alike. This website is not only about Woodstock
1969, its about Woodstock: then and now. We believe that
the facts, fiction, legend, mythology, and general power of what
is "Woodstock" will continue through our youth and a
unique program has been developed whereas; we have made it possible
for students working on projects or essays, to have the opportunity
to receive first-hand information by corresponding with our "Woodstock
Historians" - men and women, who attended the event in "69.
Our Historians are available not only to answer questions, but
to share memories and viewpoints with students researching this
event. We also offer these students a place on our website, to
share their works with others to enjoy and learn from. We also
feature "Memories" - a place for those who attended
the festival, to have the opportunity to share one of their own.
In addition, our website also serves as a template for other grassroots
historic preservation movements. A multitude of information, photos,
video, audio and more, abound on this website. Unlike other Woodstock
tribute websites, the Woodstock Preservation Archives
serves to ensure that the struggle to preserve the festival site
is not lost as Bethel Woods -Center for the Arts rises in the
Catskills, and also to inspire others to speak up for what they
believe in, regardless of the barriers that face them. I assure
you that this website is fun, interesting, educational and informative,
and in the spirit of the original Woodstock advertisement catchphrase,
the Woodstock Preservation Archives provides "Hundreds of
Acres to Roam On."
