Palm Springs Modern Committee

The Palm Springs Modern Committee is a non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to promoting and maintaining the heritage of modern architecture and design in Palm Springs and the entire Coachella Valley. Our goal is to be a meeting place for Palm Springs Modernists, both residents and nonresidents, with the ability to quickly mobilize support for urgent preservation issues.
Palm Springs Preservation Foundation

The Palm Springs Preservation Foundation was established in 1997, as a non-profit educational foundation, to identity and recognize our historic sites, which set Palm Springs apart from other desert communities. Our "Village" history, reflected in our unique architecture is as distinctive and diverse as is our population growth.
