This volume contains the hearings before the United States Senate concerning the "Preservation of Historic and Prehistoric Ruins, Etc."

This record offers insights into the legislative process, the arguments for and against preservation efforts, and the evolving understanding of the importance of protecting antiquities and natural resources.
