Charles B. Hosmer, Jr. , Preservation Comes of Age: From Williamsburg to the National Trust, 1926-1949. Volumes 1 and 2 (Charlottesville, 1981), provides a detailed account of the emergence of the formal field of historic preservation in the United States. William J. Murtagh, Keeping Time: The History and Theory of Preservation in America, (New York, 1997) includes a brief overview of the rise of the historic preservation movement, although its primary focus is on the types and process of historic preservation.
