In June 2020, Jeremy Ebersole received his MS in Historic Preservation from the University of Oregon in Portland where his terminal research entitled “A Sight to Dwell Upon and Never Forget: Illuminating Strategies for Saving Portland’s Neon Signs” explored the history of neon signage with a focus on Portland, articulated the signs’ many benefits to cities, identified shortcomings in current preservation tools, and recommended action steps based on case studies of 20 innovative neon preservation initiatives around the country.  The research has been presented on Instagram Live with Backroad Tripster, the Mondo Neon podcast, the Pennsylvania Statewide Conference on Heritage, and the APT/National Trust Joint Conference and elements will soon be published in the SCA Journal.  Jeremy also recently joined the Milwaukee Preservation Alliance in Wisconsin as Executive Director.
