Writing Historic Structures Reports
June 25-27, 2012 |
Without a doubt the most essential and, unfortunately, the most neglected investigation document used in the preservation of historic structures is the Historic Structure Report. A well-written HSR provides the necessary data for not only significant intervention in a historic structure, but for the on-going curatorial care of the structure. Historic structures can be viewed as very large, highly complex artifacts requiring highly skilled care. This course is designed for those given the responsibility both for the commissioning and for the preparation of Historic Structures Reports. It examines all aspects and sections of the Historic Structures Reports, using available HSRs as examples to examine and dissect so that a new level of excellent will be achieved in the writing of these vital documents.The instructor, David Arbogast, is an architectural conservator with over thirty years of experience in the field. His book, How to Write a Historic Structures Report, has recently been published and will be used as the text for the course.
