It badly needs to be inventoried by professional archivists [several Tulsans have started] so that we can fight for preservation as a collection instead of one building at a time. Perhaps this blog plus Shane Hood's efforts to form a supportive group plus the Tulsa Preservation Commission can get the job done. My opinion is that such a list must have some official status so that preservation has some clout. The National Trust's presence in Tulsa in October should help in securing that official status.
