NPI Professional Training Seminars in Historic Preservation & CRM May 2014

April 29 - May 16, 2014

The National Preservation Institute educates those involved in the management, preservation, and stewardship of cultural heritage. Seminars bring distinguished faculty to highlight state-of-the-art practice in important areas of historic preservation and cultural resource management. Seminars focus on enhancing the skills of professionals responsible for the preservation, protection, and interpretation of historic, archaeological, architectural, and cultural resources. NPI can provide customized, on-site training to meet specific organizational needs.

Section 106: An Introduction
April 29-May1, Richmond, VA

Learn the basics of project review under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. This seminar emphasizes practicalities—how to avoid pitfalls and victimization by myths. Discuss recent changes in regulations and procedures, with an emphasis on coordination with the National Environmental Policy Act and other laws.

GIS: Practical Applications for Cultural Resource Projects
May 1-2, Austin, TX

Review introductory geographic information system (GIS) concepts combining spatial technologies and database management systems in the area of historic preservation. Learn how to use GIS applications for identification, evaluation, protection, and preservation of cultural resources. From assisting with inventories, to mapping historic districts and battlefields, to mitigating the impact of disasters on historic areas, GIS technology can be used to provide a better basis for planning and decisionmaking for the nation’s heritage.

Historic Windows: Managing for Preservation, Maintenance, and Energy
Conservation
May 6-7, San Francisco, CA

Historic windows are both critical components of a building’s weather envelope and valuable character-defining features worth retaining for architectural and environmental reasons. Learn about the rich history and variety of wood, steel, and aluminum windows and construction methodology. Explore the maintenance and
rehabilitation techniques that allow windows to have long and sustainable service lives. Review energy conservation and economic issues as factors facing
managers in the restore-or-replace debate and regulations relating to preservation of these assets.

NEPA Compliance and Cultural Resources
May 6-7, Indianapolis, IN

Learn about environmental impact analysis, cultural resource management, and historic preservation responsibilities and relationships. Assess practical applications for effectively integrating the analyses required by the National Environmental Policy Act, related environmental regulations, and the National Historic Preservation Act.

Conflict Management and Negotiation Skills for Cultural and Natural Resource Managers
May 6-8, Anchorage, AK

Laws and regulations related to cultural and natural resources often require participatory processes that can be mired in conflict and misunderstanding. Projects frequently can be more effectively navigated when stakeholders use collaborative processes to identify and resolve problems during consultation. Through interactive exercises and role plays, learn the skills needed to frame the issues for successful
resolution, understand conflict management styles, design a stakeholder consultation process to address issues in a timely manner and prevent conflict from escalating, and negotiate in individual and group settings. 

Section 4(f) Compliance for Historic Properties
May 8-9, Indianapolis, IN

Section 4(f) of the DOT Act of 1966 is triggered by projects funded or approved by a U.S. DOT agency that propose the use of historic property or land from a publicly owned park, recreation area, or refuge. Examine the stringent approval standards of this substantive law and discuss ways to better integrate and streamline Sections 4(f) and 106 with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. 

NEPA Compliance and Cultural Resources
May 12-13, Los Angeles, CA

Learn about environmental impact analysis, cultural resource management, and historic preservation responsibilities and relationships. Assess practical applications for effectively integrating the analyses required by the National Environmental
Policy Act, related environmental regulations, and the National Historic Preservation Act.

The Recent Past: Identification and Evaluation of Mid-20th-Century Resources
May 13-14, Sacramento, CA

Review nationwide trends in mid-20th-century houses and commercial structures, with an emphasis on the evolution of suburban development patterns, construction methods, and building types. Examine era-specific factors that help to identify and evaluate these buildings in terms of their significance for eligibility for listing in the
National Register and consideration of Section 106, Section 110, and Section 4(f) regulatory issues.

The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards: Treatment Considerations
May 13-14, Spring Green, WI

The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties form the basis for historic property rehabilitation for all federal projects, federal tax
benefits, and often for state, local, and private rehabilitation projects. Explore the standards in detail with particular attention to the preservation of historic fabric, sustainability, green rehabilitation, and the use of renewable materials. Participants have the opportunity to discuss the application of the Standards to their projects. 

Section 106: Agreement Documents
May 14-16, Los Angeles, CA

This advanced seminar focuses on memoranda of agreement and programmatic agreements under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Learn how to survive and thrive during the agreement process through careful analysis, clear writing, and good negotiation. Review the available tools, guidelines, alternatives—and non-alternatives—to reach a favorable conclusion to the process.
