Preparing Document
Here is the Document Report we can follow and work together with Singapore Docomomo.
From Ho Weng Hin:
"Good afternoon Meng Foo. I've seen the blog site - it's an impressive effort gathering like-minded folks to advocate for the conservation of RI Grange Road campus."
"Following up on our brief chat yesterday, here is a useful webpage that explains the process of documentation of heritage sites, developed by Docomomo International (our HQ, now based in Delft, Netherlands), which is an important first step in the research and advocacy process. Please feel free to read through and share it with the group."
