2. The National Barn Alliance (NBA) 

started as an informal network of Cooperative Extension educators, historic preservationists and concerned citizens interested in barn preservation programming. NBA-Logo_Cropped.jpgInitially, the land grant universities of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin were involved. The organization has since grown to include other states, State Historic Preservation Offices, statewide barn preservation organizations and national organizations such as the National Trust for Historic Preservation. By sharing information on initiatives and strategies being used throughout the country, the NBA expects to strengthen the efforts of all  rural partners.

 As age, obsolescence and sprawl take their toll, barns are disappearing from the American landscape at a tremendous rate. Even rural counties often have only one quarter of the barns they had just 50 years ago. Rural historic resources throughout the country are in a fight for survival.            There are now barn documentation and preservation programs at either the local or state level in nearly all fifty states. Survey, landmark designation, conservation easements, grant programs and tax incentives are just some of the tools being used to protect our vanishing rural heritage.            On our website you will find information and "how tos" for many of the tools described above. If you are interested in joining us in our nationwide effort to save barns and other historic resources of the American countryside, please become a Member of the National Barn Alliance today.

5. The Dutch Barn Preservation Society

The New World Dutch Barn, as it has come to be known, is one of the last physical reminders of the pre-industrial agricultural heritage of eastern New York and New Jersey. The efficient, heavy timber structural system adapted from Northern European precedents, reflects thwemp3.JPGe practical construction and engineering skills of the predominately Dutch immigrants who settled the area, and their descendants. These barns are now rapidly disappearing from our rural landscapes and are in urgent need of increased study and preservation efforts.

SKHN

The Dutch Foundation was grounded in 2005 by an initiative of some people dedicated to the old wooden barrack with movable thatched roof. They felt something had to happen to prevent the disappearing of this typical construction from the Dutch countryside. Now the foundation offers this site as an virtual museum with all combined knowledge, posseses a widespread national and international network and advises potential hay barrack builders (some 300 advises a year). Also the iron barrack is added to the goal of the Foundation. SKHN Hezenberg 3 8051 CB Hattem The Netherlands info@skhn.info Giro 4799819 T el.038-4449300 Fax 038-4449234

The Sythconnection

We are not an "organization", although we co-organize some events and learning processes, and have conducted and motivated scythe-related research and design development. For lack of a better term to accurately describe our work, we use "network" to describe a very loosely-structured, ever-changing web of learning and working relationships. Far more of these are with people in Europe than in North America, some dating back to my first journey to Austria (Jan./Feb. 1999). We may work intensively with representatives of one or more institutions for several months while organizing an event; then our connections sometimes fade and new ones are born. Stichting tot behoud van Hooibergen en Vloedschuren in het Gelders Rivierengebied Foundation for the preservation of haybarracks and riversheds in the region of the great dutch rivers. Secretariaat: EmmaJaan 28 4191 EK Geldermalsen Telefoon 0345-571615 Aan het einde van de jaren tachtig hebben enkele streekbewoners de "koppen" bij elkaar gestoken teneinde te trachten de verdere verdwijning van hooibergen en vloedschuren in het gebied tegen te gaan. Het rivierengebied, vanouds een agrarisch gebied, was vroeger rijk aan dit soort erfelementen, maar met het afnemen van het aantal boerenbedrijven en de verplaatsing van de bedrijven vanuit de dorpen naar de polders, verdwenen de hooibergen en vloedschuren als sneeuw voor de zon. Als voorbeeld mag gelden het dorp Haaften, waar geen hooiberg meer te vinden is. Na de oprichting van de Stichting tot behoud van Hooibergen en Vloedschuren in het Gelders Rivierengebied hebben wij, door tussenkomst van drs. J.D.H. Harten van de Vakgroep Historische Geografie van de Universiteit te Utrecht, contact gelegd met mevr. Suzanne Jurgens, toen studente Historische Geografie in Utrecht. In het kader van haar opleiding heeft zij voor ons in de periode september 1989/februari 1990 een inventarisatie verricht. Het resultaat van haar arbeid is verwerkt in een uitgebreid rapport voor onze stichting. Helaas is een aantal van de daarin beschreven obiecten inmiddels al verdwenen. Vervolgens hebben wij zoveel mogelijk contact gelegd met eigenaren van hooibergen en vloedschuren om hen te wijzen op de waarde van het instandhouden van hun bouwwerken. Ook hebben wij een aantal adviezen gegeven bij restauratie en herstel van hooibergen en vloedschuren. Dankzij die activiteiten blijven verschillende objecten voorlopig voor het nageslacht bewaard- Door kleine subsidies en sponsoring hebben wij bovenstaande activiteiten kunnen ontplooien. Bovendien hebben wij de restauratie van verschillende objecten kunnen bevorderen door een geldelijke ( aanmoedigings )premie aan de eigenaren te verstrekken. Op verschillende plaatsen zijn wij momenteel bij restauratieplannen betrokken. Een bijkomend effect van het werk van onze stichting is dat men vandaag de dag meer de waarde inziet van een hooiberg, dan in vele jaren het geval was. Let u maar eens op advertenties (van onder andere makelaars in onroerend goed). Die vermelden tegenwoordig terdege als er een hooiberg op een erf aanwezig is. Het stichtingsbestuur bestaat uit de volgende personen: E.J. de Wolf, Meteren voorzitter R.D. Timmer, Geldermalsen secretaris J.G. Berendse, Geldermalsen penningmeester Drs. J A.C. van Burg, Dei! bestuurslid Ing. G.N. Lokhorst, Geldermalsen bestuurslid Mevr .J .C. W .van Meeteren- van Toorn, Opijnen bestuurslid Ir. L.
