Who are the questers?
We are a community dedicated to keeping history alive through education, preservation of meaningful places, and funding restoration projects.
Questers work to honor and share the stories that have shaped our collective heritage by funding the preservation of landmarks and historic sites and by providing scholarships and fellowships in the field of historic preservation.
If that sounds like you, consider joining your local chapter.
THE QUESTERS is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization that promotes preservation and restoration of artifacts, memorials, historical buildings, and landmarks, as well as education about these places and things.
The organizational structure is made up of local chapters, state/provincial chapters and the overarching international organization. We have chapters across the US and Canada. Find a chapter near you.
Giving Back to Members and the Community
Preservation and Restoration grants are given at the International and the State/Provincial levels. Historical Education grants are given at the International level. In addition, a two-year Scholarship is given to a student at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP), and a three-year Fellowship is awarded to a student enrolled at the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation (WUDPAC).
