An iconic symbol of unparalleled historic significance, the Colorado Capitol Building is considered by many to be Colorado’s greatest treasure. It is a living history museum and active seat of government that beckons school children, travelers, politicians and constituents from around the state and across the nation. Within its great halls reverberate the echoes of over a century of debate and decision that shaped Colorado amid interests as diverse as its landscape.
In association with the State Historical Fund, Historic Denver, Inc. and Colorado Preservation, Inc., the Havey Productions team is producing a documentary film bringing the story of the Capitol to life. Premiering February 3rd at the 2012 Saving Places Conference, the film will honor the Colorado State Capitol Building as the one structure that represents the past, present and future of all Coloradans.

Historic Preservation means something different to all of us, physical representations of our shared history, economic development, sense of place, etc. Every year we recognize outstanding projects and individual achievements in archaeology and historic preservation throughout Colorado. We asked some of them what preservation means to them. What does it mean to you?
In June2009 the Southeast Colorado Regional Heritage Task Force (SECORHT) was awarded a State Historical Fund grant to support the development of five two-minute video public service announcements focusing on significant historic sites in southeast Colorado. The video pieces run prior to first run films in the theatres to expose local audiences to significant historic sites in their own backyards. SECORHT hopes this project will serve as a model for other communities. This is a 10 minute overview of all of the videos
