SOME PEOPLE KEEP HISTORY ALIVE by retelling it, some by writing it, some by advocating for and protecting the places that hold it, and a rare few do all three. Eric DuVall is one of those rare few. Save Our Heritage Organisation (SOHO) is proud to announce the 2025 recipients of the People In Preservation (PIP) Awards, honoring outstanding individuals, organizations, and community groups whose work in historic preservation has enriched the cultural and architectural fabric of San Diego County. Each of this year’s awardees reminds us that saving our cultural heritage takes many forms. Some are lifelong advocates, writers, and culture keepers who ensure our stories endure, while others represent landmark projects that drive cultural tourism and strengthen our local economy. Together, their efforts keep San Diego’s unique character and sense of place alive and ensure our shared heritage continues to inspire, connect, and enrich our communities today and for generations to come. SOHO applauds these remarkable individuals who demonstrate what’s possible when dedication, skill, and vision are applied to the ongoing work of protecting our past.
Please join us in congratulating the 2025 People In Preservation Award recipient.
