Field School in Heritage Documentation

May 13-20, 2018

The University of Kentucky Department of Historic Preservation
Field School in Heritage Documentation - Appalachia


Having an opportunity to attend a field school and gain hands-on experience conducting fieldwork under the tutelage of an experienced professional is a significant opportunity for students of the cultural landscape. Work, family, and financial obligations, however, prohibit many students from attending traditional field schools which can often require 3-6 weeks away from home. By offering online instruction and assignments before and after a week-long intensive field school, thus reducing the time required form home, the Kentucky Field School is structured to offer these students an opportunity to participate in an immersive field-based learning experience.

The 2018 field school will be taught May 13-20 in Harlan County, Kentucky; the heart of the Appalachian coalfields. While we will be visiting and documenting sites throughout the county, we will be based at the Pine Mountain Settlement School, a National Historic Landmark.

 The course covers a broad array of academic skills including how to “read” the cultural landscape, reconnaissance survey, site analysis, measured drawings, the ethics of fieldwork, documentary photography, archival research, mapping, oral history and storyscape survey. All lessons will focus on three core learning objectives: innovative models for integrating local knowledge into the documentation process;      emerging technology; and historic preservation as a tool for addressing a community’s social, environmental and economic challenges.
