On Sunday, September 23, 2012 Historic Preservation Network launched a new photo feature entitled 5+ARCH. Utilizing Apple's newly-released iPhone 5, with its superb panorama software, HPN has set out to capture architectural space and scapes in full scope.

Historic Preservation Network has launched a special photography series entitled The Preservation Polaroid Project. Cities traveled to and explored by HPN in 2012 - Manhattan, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Hoboken and a host of other major metropoli and small towns and hamlets along the way - have been captured in color and black-and-white instant film using new Fuji instant film cameras and a refurbished 1970s-era Polaroid Spectra. The Preservation Polaroid Project is ongoing and will extend into 2013 and 2014 for a culminating series of e-books that will be published and made available for sale through HPN's imprint Cavaedium Press. Starting Friday, August 10, 2012 HPN is offering a few sneak-peek instant film plates in our "Photos + Plates" section. Additional instant photos will be posted throughout the rest of 2012.

On Sunday, July 1, 2012 Historic Preservation Network, studying MIT's recently-posted online Charles Connick stained glass archives, discovered that in 1935 the Connick Studio captured a design competition that would permit Connick and one of his main artisans, George Sotter, to work with famed Boston architect Charles Maginnis; please an ancient order of Passionist friars; and join design forces with one of the century's greatest Medieval Revival mosaicists and muralists: Hildreth Meière. This is part of a planned paper and film series on Connick's great New Jersey stained glass monuments, including windows in Montclair, West Orange, Englewood, Bayonne and, in absolute and still-unmatched triumph, Princeton. Read the special series soon in HPN's Preservation Planet online preservation magazine.
