- At a joint meeting between AIA Rochester and the Landmark Society, it was quickly realized that the two projects have similar goals. An exciting collaboration between the two organizations has resulted in a new web site being launched where individuals can enter information on architects and buildings from these eras. As information is collected from the database it will then be turned into the long awaited update of the ‘Red Book’. The goal of having a new publication avalable in 2009 for the book's having a website dedicated to viewing this information on line similar to ‘Wikipedia’, except that it will not be editable by the general public. For the time being this initiative will be known as Rochester Archipedia, an enhancement of the 1959 'Red Book'.

- AIA Rochester, in collaboration with the ["Landmark Society" Landmark Society of Western New York], is currently updating Carl Schmidt’s book Architecture and Architects of Rochester, N. Y. published by the Rochester Society of Architects in 1959, otherwise know as the ‘Red Book’. If you’re not familiar with this little gem of a book, it’s a compilation of the who’s who in Rochester’s architectural history from the 1800’s to the 1950’s and the important architectural commissions of those eras. Most architectural firms have a copy in their library. The desire for this update came when realizing the numerous Rochester area architects that have practiced since 1959, the major commissions that have followed, and that no documentation existed of either. The Landmark Society, on the cutting edge of historic preservation organizations, is running a concurrent initiative to fulfill their mission to "discover, protect and revitalize" the region's architectural heritage by identifying and promoting the resources of the recent past. The Landmark Society recognizes that structures and landscapes from 1930 to 1970 are the new frontier of our cultural legacy and that these sites need to be acknowledged, interpreted and treasured. Through this survey we will be able to determine what has been lost, what remains and how best to educate the public on the importance of this era of architecture and its role in our shared experience.	+ AIA Rochester, in collaboration with the ["Landmark Society" Landmark Society of Western New York], is currently updating Carl Schmidt’s book ''Architecture and Architects of Rochester, N.Y.'', published by the Rochester Society of Architects in 1959, otherwise know as the ‘Red Book’.
