This fund was established in 1993 by Frank E. Kinsey, Jr. to support preservation activities at University of Florida’s Preservation Institute in Nantucket, MA.

A cooperative effort between the University of Florida School of Architecture and the community of Nantucket led to the opening of the Preservation Institute: Nantucket in 1972. This institution provides student participants with a unique educational experience in a broad range of historic preservation issues. Students also help to research and document the historic environment of the island.
