On June 15, 1968, a group of visionary Canadian cultural-resource specialists including Torrey Fuller, Jacques Dalibard, William Patterson, Jeanne Minhinnick, Jack Richardson, and Peter John Stokes gathered at Upper Canada Village in Morrisburg, Ontario, to discuss the need to establish a more professional approach to heritage preservation. Many of those in Morrisburg were concerned that heritage conservation was proceeding on a disturbing course and that a thoughtful and scholarly view of restoration was being neglected in favor of an amateurish trial-and-error approach. They recognized that many fragile heritage resources had suffered irreparable harm from well-intentioned but misguided efforts, and they were determined to alter the status quo.
Before the end of the year they recruited other like-minded Canadians to their cause including David Bartlett, Alice Allison, Gerald Budner, George MacBeath, and Pierre Mayrand. Taking an international approach to their campaign, they reached across the border and enlisted the aid of Lee Nelson and Charles Peterson, both highly regarded members of the American heritage-preservation community. Together, this group formed the nucleus of the organization that would become the Association for Preservation Technology.
The theme of our 40th anniversary conference in Montreal is "Moving Forward, Looking Back." During this special occasion, we will "look back" and celebrate the history of APT and remember the individuals who established the foundation for this great organization. Come be a part of this memorable event where you can not only learn more about the history of APT but also actively participate in the establishment of the direction of APT for the next 40 years.
For more information on the 40th anniversary conference please check out the conference information tab in this issue of the Communiqué or go to www.apti.org/conferences/2008/.
See y'all in Montreal!

As many of our dedicated readers know the Communiqué issue that is published before the Annual Conference is dedicated to the conference and this issue proves no different. The cover story is devoted to our 40th Anniversary, conference news lists updated information about the endowment and student scholarship funds and there is even a section on what to do and see while visiting our host city.
Jim Curtiss and a few of his colleagues have put together a wonderful list that highlights some to the sites and places to visit in Montréal. Living in a tourist destination, I know how difficult it can be to compile such a list for guests…thanks Jim. -- pd
Besides getting news on the conference and Montreal, check out Preservation News and learn of projects that other members have been working on. In the future we would really like to share more information about our Chapters and Committees, so please send in articles and photos. Information can be submitted to aptinews@apti.org.
See you in Montreal!
APT Celebrating 40 Years
Interdisciplinary Collaboration in Heritage Conservation
October 13-17, 2008
Hilton Montréal Bonaventure Hotel
Montréal, Québec, Canada
The theme of the APT 2008 Montréal Conference underlines the interdisciplinary nature of Heritage Conservation and is aimed at the membership profile of APT and conservation challengers over the last four decades. A focus of the conference is on how to address the intrinsic questions of changes in our environment and ways in which Heritage Conservation can respond through a balanced sustainable program. The two conference sub-themes are Sustainable Heritage Conservation, and Conservation Technology and Philosophy. We encourage members to come together in November to ask questions and to seek solutions through our responses.

Montréal-a Rich History
When you arrive in Montréal you will find a downtown bustling with life at the foot of its mountain, the Mont Royal, while history is rooted in the Vieux-Montréal near the river. The city is a major cultural center, represented by its outstanding museums. As a city known for its fashionable boutiques, famed cuisine, and lively casinos, Montréal is a one-of-a-kind, multicultural vibrant metropolis that has everything a big city can offer
Founded in 1642, the city began as a fortified fur trading post of New France and by the 19th century, it had become the political and commercial hub of Upper and Lower Canada under the British rule. The city developed as the commercial center of Canada in the early 20th century and opened up to the world with Expo 67 and as the host of the 1976 summer Olympics. This rich history is represented in four centuries of architecture, ranging from the early fortifications to the modern monuments, a feast for preservation enthusiasts. The APT Conference features many opportunities to experience Montréal's culture and history, but there is much more to explore on your own-both prior to and during your visit. Below are a few suggestions to help you discover the unique character and qualities of Montréal!
Interesting Things to
See, Do, Eat and Drink in Montréal
Compiled by Jim Curtiss, APT Québec Chapter President, and his colleagues
One would think that during the long cold winter, Montréalais would batten down the hatches and stay inside. Not so! Montréal is always on the move. The sidewalks are always busy and everybody has their favourite things to do, places to go, and things to see!
Street Walking and People Watching
Get the 'joie de vivre' of Montréal by strolling along these streets:
1. Crescent Street-running north-south in downtown, a strip of high end bars
and restaurants with the tourist trade in mind.
2. Saint Catherine Street-running east-west, connecting all parts of downtown,
this is where the shopping is! Often referred to as the entertainment district,
you will find people from Quebec, and all over the world seeing and being seen
here.
3. Boulevard Saint Laurent ('The Main')-running north-south from downtown into
the heart of the 'Plateau'-the real heart of Montréal!
4. Saint Dennis-running north-south 'on the Plateau' in what was once primarily
the French district, Saint Dennis is where the locals shop, eat, and play.
5. Ontario Street and Saint Catherine streets-in the 'Village.' An edgy and
upscale mix with quiet residential streets behind this playground.
6. Grab a coffee at any coffee house. Many are chains (Second Cup) and many
are independent (Brûlerie St-Denis). In Montréal, you can do better
then Starbucks!
Parks
I recently read that there are about 700 parks on the island, and Montréal
is a truly green city in the traditional sense of the word! Some you will want
to visit:
1. Parc du Mont Royal. This is Montréal's mountain.
Go on the belvedere (at the Chateau) and have the best view you have ever seen
of an entire city! You have not seen Montréal until you have seen it
this way! www.montreal.com/parks/mtroyal.html
2. Parc LaFontaine. This large city park with nice landscapes and cityscapes is great for bikers. Located on Plateau Mont-Royal. www.montreal.com/parks/lafontaine.html
3. Parc René-Lévesque. This is a beautiful peninsula arranged on fill for the 1967 subway dig. It has amazing views, an arboretum, a Montréal sculptural garden, and the best water sunsets in the city. Located at the tip of the Lachine Canal.
Unique Destinations
What our friends and colleagues do in between meals, and before happy hour ('cinq-a-sept')-there
is so much to do here:
1. Ride the Metro! Same vintage as the Washington DC metro, but it is on tires! See how the Montréalais get around! Do a tour of significant artwork in the Metro.
2. Eat chocolate! Juliette et Chocolat (1615 St-Denis, 1 min walk from BERRI UQAM subway) is a must for chocolate fans! There is chocolate everywhere and although they also have sandwiches and salads, you go there for the desserts and the drinkable chocolate. Yes, yes-melted chocolate that you can drink! Reasonable prices.
3. Old Montréal, Place Jacques Cartier. Europe in North America! This is a typical tourist destination, but well worth it. The center square, Place Jacque Cartier, usually has many performers, artists, painters, musicians, etc. There are restaurants and terraces (a little bit more expensive than the average) and little streets with souvenir shops. Once there, you might as well try a pastry called "Queue de Castor" (beaver tail). It can be tasted on rue de la Commune, not too far from the Place Jacques Cartier. www.vieux.montreal.qc.ca/
4. The 'Big O'1976 Olympic Stadium. Very, very unique and interesting! http://football.ballparks.com/CFL/Montreal/index.htm
5. Montréal Botanical Gardens. Amazingly beautiful and well worth the cost. Across the street from the Big O. www2.ville.montreal.qc.ca/jardin/jardin.htm
6. Historic LaChine Canal/Atwater Market. Walking, kayaking, biking. Start in Old Port at the foot of old Montréal, and work your way west.
7. Ex-Centris cinema. For independent cinema and unusual setting. www.ex-centris.com/
8. Square St Louis. The closest thing to a European neighborhood square you'll find this side of the Atlantic. www.pps.org/great_public_spaces/one?public_place_id=914
9. Jean Talon Market. An oasis in the heart of the city that tantalizes you with its great charm. www.marchespublics-mtl.com/
10. Central Plateau. Walk anywhere between Gilford, Marie-Anne, St Denis and Papineau. Do the full RÉSO underground walking loop from Place des Arts down to the Centre de commerce mondial atrium, then back up to Cours Mont Royal. This definitely requires a guide
11. Gay Village. Clubs, clothes, and culture in North America's largest gay district. www.go-montreal.com/areas_village.htm
12. Jules Saint-Michel, violin maker. On Ontario near Clark and St-Urbain. www.luthiersaintmichel.com
Bike Paths
1. Along the Canal Lachine from Old Montréal to Atwater Market, and theon
to Parc Rene Levesque.
2. From Old Montréal to cité du havre to Ile Ste hélène.
Good view of Old Montréal, port and many 1960s architectural icons on
the way. (Habitat, Biosphere, Expo, Calder, etc).
3. Up Brébeuf street from Parc lafontaine up to ahuntsic

Pubs
Canadians, and especially Québécois, relish their alcohol! Montréal
is home of Molson, in addition to Canada's best ice ciders and brew pubs! Some
of North America's richest farm lands can be found in Québec, yielding
the nicest apples, some decent grapes, and excellent hops and grains! Some interesting
things to know before you go looking for that drink: common corner stores (dépanneurs)
usually have a fair selection of wines and beers, but you can find much better
at the local SAQ, Québec's liquor board. Some are big, and some are small,
but the staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. Some bars are actually restaurants
with a liquor license which means you must also buy some food with your drink.
Pubs recommended by our friends and colleagues:
1. Old Dublin, rue University and Cathcart, backstreet pub about to be lost
to some redevelopment.
2. Hurley's, on Crescent south of Ste-Catherine, an Irish establishment in the
night life district from the 1950s; many more on Crescent and Bishop Street.
3. Quai des Brumes, on St-Denis near Mont-Royal.
4. Les 3 Brasseurs, St-Denis and Emery or Ste-Catherine and McGill College (brewpub).
5. Cheval Blanc, Ontario and St-Hubert (brew pub in Quartier Latin).
6. Brasserie Artisanale and Bistro Le Réservoir on Duluth East in the
Plateau neighborhood. Amazing atmosphere, food and homemade beer.
7. L'île Noire, rue Ontario, good whisky list.
8. Whisky Café, upscale whisky and cigar lounge, corner Bernard and St-Laurent.
9. L'Assommoir, cocktail bar at corner of Bernard and St-Urbain.
10. Billy Kun, Plateau neighborhood, rue Mont-Royal, amazing amaretto-sours
and ostriches!
11. Brasserie Dieu du Ciel, avenue Laurier Ouest corner rue Clark. Montréal's
best home brew!

than at the Annual Social! This year's Social will be held on the ice at Le
1000 De La Gauchetière, and should prove to be spectacular fun.
While ice skating and visiting with old pals or discussing
business on a casual level you can also support the future of APT by participating
in the Silent and Live Auction. The auction committee has many wonderfully unique
items as well as more traditional items for you to bid on this year, including
rare or out of print books, one of a kind jewelry pieces, and hotel stays.
So plan on having one fun 'social' evening in Montreal on the ice and help support
the Student Scholarship Fund by participating in the Silent and Live Auctions.

Auction by donating some of your artistic works or your businesses merchandise,
and help bring student scholars to APT please contact Rosanne Dube at rosanne.dube@gmail.com

The Association for Preservation Technology International (APT) and the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT) joined together to present a series of training workshops relating to nondestructive evaluation methods for historic structures. The first of two workshops in 2008 was held in Charleston, South Carolina and was hosted by the Southeast Region Chapter of APT and Drayton Hall. The workshop was sponsored in part by Anthony & Associates, Inc. of Fort Collins, CO; Atkinson-Noland & Associates, Inc. of Boulder, CO; Sparks Engineering, Inc. of Austin, Texas. Contractors, trades people, architects and engineers were among the attendees.
Instruction was held over two days with a classroom style lecture on the first day and field sessions on the second day. The classroom lectures were held at Maybank Hall on the College of Charleston Campus in Historic Charleston. Participants were introduced to a variety of instruments used for testing and covered the theory behind and how to apply technical standards and guidelines. Some of the topics of discussion included the testing of masonry in situ, corrosion testing of concrete, infrared thermography and digital radioscopy & resistance drilling. Workshop instructors included Shan Wo and Dave Woodham of Atkinson-Noland and Associates, Patrick Sparks of Sparks Engineering, Jonathan Spodek of Ball State University, and Kim Dugan and Ron Anthony of Anthony and Associates.
Attendees and guests were also catered to 'Low Country" style with a reception at Drayton Hall. The reception included a private behind the scenes tour of Drayton Hall, given by Matt Webster the Director of Preservation and dinner, drinks and entertainment by Jamie Westendorf and the Charleston Oyster Machine.
Members of the Western Chapter met on the Quad at Stanford University on July 24, 2008 to learn about the efforts that have resulted in the restoration of the sandstonebalustrades.

The APT Australia Chapter ran two symposia during July, one in Sydney, and the other in Melbourne. Convenor of the APT Australia Chapter, Donald Ellsmore, was responsible for coordinating both events. A sterling effort!
On the 4-5 July, we ran a seminar and tour in conjunction with the Historic Houses Trust of NSW, looking at the conservation of vernacular timber buildings on the Cumberland Plain, northwest of Sydney. A detailed report, with photographs, is available on our blog here. Highlights included the display and demonstration of traditional woodworking tools by James Findlay and Graham Hall, as well as a series of illuminating presentations by Ian Jack, Miles Lewis, Garry Smith, Fergus Clunie, Simon Wiltshier and Otto Cserhalmi. Copies of papers / presentations will be made available on the website in due course.
Between 24-26 July, we ran a workshop, seminar and tour in conjunction with the University of Melbourne, National Trust of Victoria and Heritage Victoria, looking at the conservation of Victorian (19thC and local) Interiors! A detailed report, with photographs, is available on our blog. Speakers included Brian Andrews, Tracey Avery, Barry Cooper, Robert Griffin, Miles Lewis, Andrew Thorn and Ann Toy. Copies of papers / presentations will be made available via the website in due course.
Members of the APT Australia Chapter are also heavily involved in the planning for the (Un)Loved Modern conference to be held in Sydney between 7-10 July 2009. This conference, jointly organised by Australia ICOMOS, DOCOMOMO Australia, APT Australia Chapter, Australian Institute of Architects, and the International Union of Architects, will focus on the conservation of 20th Century heritage, and is to be held in conjunction with a meeting of the ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on 20th Century Heritage (ISC20C). APT Australia Chapter is responsible for coordinating a strong technical strand of papers throughout the conference. A call for papers is currently looking for presentations relevant to the conference themes of identifying, conserving and managing 20th Century heritage, with a particular focus on the following subthemes:
The technical strand seeks to examine the wide variety
of conservation issues pertaining to 20th Century buildings, in particular those
relating to building services, cladding, finishes and proprietary items.
More details on the conference are available on our website or via the conference
website. The organisers welcome international contributions and attendees.
Co-convenor of the APT Australia Chapter, Bill Jordan, is pleased to announce that Engineers Australia, the Australian organisation for professional engineers, has recently launched an accreditation scheme for engineers with specialist expertise in heritage conservation. Details are available here.
Finally, as you may be able to tell from the regular references throughout this item, the APT Australia Chapter has established a website. Well, it's basically a blog, actually, courtesy of the WordPress people! But we're aiming to keep it topical and current, and use it as a means of disseminating information about our events, as well as information from our events. We hope to publish the papers from future and past events, and link to other organisations with relevant material. We don't want to duplicate content, but we do want to make sure that the events we organise can be the source of learning for people long after the day is done. So far, it has been very easy to do, and hasn't cost us anything. For other chapters without a blog, this might be a good way to go!

Almost three years have passed since devastating floods ravaged much of New Orleans, one of the oldest and most historically significant cities in the United States. Despite the continuing delays and setbacks there are signs of hope. Over the past three years, numerous heritage organizations including the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans have been working to assist the Holy Cross community with recovery efforts relating to the preservation of the historic architectural character of the Lower 9th Ward.
This summer, The University of Florida College of Design Construction and Planning's Historic Preservation Program, along with its partnering organizations The World Monuments Fund, The Preservation Trades Network, The Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans and the Holy Cross Neighborhood Association, have collectively supported efforts to preserve and sustain the threatened architectural heritage of the Holy Cross neighborhood by holding this year's Traditional Building Historic Preservation Field School in the Lower 9th Ward.
Numerous APT members have supported the field school by
offering their expertise to the next generation of preservationists. APT President
Brian Scott Robinson serves as director of the field program. APT Board members
Carl Elephante and Michael Schuller presented the students with information
relating to sustainable preservation and non destructive masonry evaluation.
In addition, Preservation Trades Network Executive Director Rudy Christian played
an important role in summer program planning and delivery.
The 2008 Traditional Building Historic Preservation Field School is a hands on educational program built around a pilot project developed by The Preservation Trades Network (PTN), a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and perpetuating traditional building trade skills. Now in its third year, the Traditional Building Historic Preservation Field School will bring together participants from the traditional building trades and university academic programs to collaborate in an effort to identify and promote sustainable building practices that can be used to restore and maintain damaged historic properties in Holy Cross.

Recently, Harding Partners architects teamed up with Thornton
Tomasetti engineers for the restorations of two historic Frank Lloyd Wright
residences built 50 years apart. The first was Davenport House, built in 1901,
considered one of Chicago's first example of Prairie style architecture, which
was restored to its original condition; the other was Glore House, built in
1951 and notable for Frank Lloyd Wright's application of Usonian principles
on a larger, more elaborate two-story residence. That project involved the addition
of an additional floor and just recently received the AIA Northeast Chapter
"Merit in Architecture Award." (http://www.aianei.org/honor_awards/2007/GloreHouse.html)
What is interesting about these two projects, fifty years apart, is how they
show the progression of the architect's work as it relates to building engineering,
reflected in the extent of the renovations necessary to preserve both structures.
A three-day brainstorming session with architects, landscape
architects, preservationists, planners, engineers, and sustainability consultants
concluded on Sunday, April 13 with innovative visions and exciting news that
the nearly 2 million square foot Bell Laboratories site in Holmdel, NJ (10 Most
Endangered Historic Sites 2007) has immense capacity for rehabilitation and
adaptation.
Preservation NJ, along with coalition partners AIA-NJ, the National Trust for
Historic Preservation, DOCOMOMO and several other regional and national groups,
sponsored the three day "charrette." Following a tour of the Eero
Saarinen-designed site on Friday and a chance to hear from Bell Labs "Pioneers"
who worked in the building, the 38 design professionals worked collaboratively
all day Saturday, exploring possible reuse scenarios from various perspectives:
architectural, programmatic, marketing, systems, etc. The designers presented
the findings of the charrette to the public at the Holmdel Senior/Community
Center on Sunday. Their concepts were visionary, illustrating a range of solutions
that predominately focused on improved performance of the building.
The proposals incorporated sustainable restoration schemes that would bring the building into the 21st century with new systems and building elements while preserving its historic and character-defining features. Visit the PNJ "Greener Heritage" blog at www.preservationnj.wordpress.com for more information on the charrette and its findings.
The Preservation League of New York State will present a special citation honoring Preserving New York: Winning the Right to Protect a City's Landmarks (Routledge 2007) by Anthony C. Wood at its Excellence in Historic Preservation Award ceremony. The League's statewide awards program recognizes individuals and organizations for demonstrating an outstanding commitment to the preservation of New York State's irreplaceable architectural heritage.
"This publication makes an important contribution to our understanding of preservation history in New York City in general by focusing on one compelling story - the establishment of the local landmark law," said Jay DiLorenzo, President of the Preservation League. "It is easy to imagine this book becoming required reading for preservation degree programs across the country. Despite presenting a chronicle of losses, Preserving New York makes the reader proud of the city's achievements and hopeful for preservation's future."
This publication tells the previously untold story of the people and places, the buildings and battles, and the politics and policies that led to New York City's landmarks law, passed in 1965. Preserving New York represents the culmination of a two-year project of the New York Preservation Archive Project, a non-profit organization with a unique focus: preserving, documenting and celebrating the history of the historic preservation movement.

New York Preservation
Archive Project Amendment
Advocates Honored at Anniversary Celebration of the 1973 NYC Landmarks Law Amendments
New York, NY -- A celebration honoring advocates of the 1973 Amendments to New York City's Landmarks Law was the spotlight discussion at its 35th Anniversary; the event titled "Making the Best Better," was held on June 10, 2008 by the New York Preservation Archive Project.
The 1973 amendments to New York City's Landmarks Law dramatically transformed the strongest landmarks legislation in the nation by broadening its powers and improving its operations. The amendments established interior landmarks, scenic landmarks, and continuous hearings and designations, ending the mandated moratorium limiting designation determinations to a 6 month period every three years. These amendments fundamentally transformed and strengthened the ability of the Landmarks Preservation Commission to protect New York City's valuable historic resources.
The panel discussion was followed by a cocktail party celebrating the 35th Anniversary of the Amendments and honoring those who played a role in their passage: Honored guests include Kent Barwick, Bronson Binger, Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel, Jeffery Friedlander, Margot Gayle, Frank Gilbert, Roberta Brandes Gratz, Carol Greitzer, Michael S. Gruen, Norman Redlich, Frederick William Richmond, Edward Sadowsky, and Hon. Barry Salman. A short program paying tribute the honorees and the amendments was presented by Lisa Ackerman, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of World Monuments Fund, and Council Member Jessica Lappin.
Proceeds from the reception benefit the New York Preservation
Archive Project's programs and mission-to document, preserve, and celebrate
the historic preservation movement's history-including such seminal events as
the successful 1973 Amendments to the law.

WASHINGTON, D.C.-The Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation (FAIC) was recently awarded an endowment grant of $1 million from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to support workshops in photograph conservation modeled on the successful Collaborative Workshops in Photograph Conservation, developed at the University of Delaware. The new endowment earnings will be restricted to support photograph workshops for a period of at least ten years, during which FAIC will devote an additional $575,000 in resources to the project. At the end of ten years, and periodically thereafter, the program will be assessed, in conjunction with The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. If there is a consensus that the program could benefit from addressing a wider range of subjects, funds could also be used to support mid-career workshops in other conservation specialties.
Beginning in 2010, three programs will be presented every two years. Each year, a hands-on workshop, typically five days in length will be offered. A third program, typically three days in length and offered every two years, will be designed to reach a larger and broader audience. These workshops will be incorporated into FAIC's active professional development program and will supplement current programming.
About FAIC
FAIC, the foundation of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic
& Artistic Works, supports conservation education, research, and outreach

The Arizona State Museum and the Massachusetts Board of
Library Commissioners have been selected to receive the 2008 Award for Outstanding
Commitment to the Preservation and Care of Collections. This annual award is
selected by a panel of distinguished conservation experts from across the nation
and is presented jointly by Heritage Preservation and the American Institute
for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (AIC).
The Arizona State Museum (ASM) is the oldest and
largest anthropology museum in the Southwest. The museum's Preservation Division
is responsible for the care and preservation of a world-renowned collection
of artifacts from indigenous peoples of the American Southwest and northern
Mexico.
One of ASM's largest preservation projects to date is
the Southwest Pottery Project, an initiative to protect the museum's
collection of ceramic vessels. Designated an official Save America's Treasurers
Collection in 2000, the Project received donations from many diverse sources,
such as local philanthropists, tribal communities, local businesses, charitable
trusts and foundations, federal agencies, and private donors. Community volunteers
also supported the project and contributed over 22,000 hours.
"The work of the Arizona State Museum to connect its community to preservation is a model for all museums across the country," said Eryl Wentworth, Executive Director of AIC. "Not only did the project raise awareness for the collection's preservation, but incorporating local volunteers demonstrated the community's support, which, in turn, attracted donors."
The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners
(MBLC) is a state government agency with responsibility for library services
throughout the state. For the last 20 years, the MBLC's commitment to preservation
has helped library and archival collections all across Massachusetts.
MBLC began a statewide preservation program in 1988 which
included a series of preservation workshops on topics such as care and handling
of library archival materials, disaster preparedness and recovery, basic repair
of library and archival materials, and collections security.
In 1998, the MBLC initiated the Emergency Assistance Program
to assist organizations in disasters. Components of the program include training
workshops, disaster supply caches at sixteen locations across the state, technical
assistance through MBLC or the Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC),
and a "weather alert" email system.
MBLC also worked closely with the NEDCC to develop dPlan,
an online disaster-planning tool, in 2001. This free resource is available for
any library, archive, or museum and provides a template for organizations to
create a disaster plan.
The American Institute for Conservation of Historic
and Artistic Works is the national membership organization of professional
conservators dedicated to preserving the art and historic artifacts of our cultural
heritage for future generations. Heritage Preservation is a nonprofit
organization dedicated to preserving our nation's heritage. Its members include
museums, libraries, archives, and other organizations concerned with saving
the past for the future.
Nominations are invited for the 2009 Award for Outstanding
Commitment to the Preservation and Care of Collections. The deadline is December
15, 2008. For additional information, see http://www.heritagepreservation.org/awards/aic.htm.
Ticonderoga, NY -- Fort Ticonderoga Association dedicated the new Deborah Clarke Mars Education Center on the parade ground of this National Historic Landmark. The Center was designed by Tonetti Associates Architects
"The original building was blown up by retreating French troops in 1759," says Andrew B. Wright AIA LEED AP, Tonetti Associate Architects' Partner-in-Charge on the project, "so, for the first time in almost two hundred and fifty years, the core structures of the Fort will be complete. Timed with the Fort's 100th season as an historic open-air museum, this is a very special event." The new Center will allow the museum to remain open year-round for the first time in its history.
Not only is the building an accurate reflection of its predecessor, but - in keeping with the Fort's longstanding commitment to environmental stewardship - it's a forward-thinking "green" building. Early in the design process, Fort Ticonderoga Director Nicholas Westbrook made a commitment to reduce the building's impact on the environment as much as possible. Despite the strictures of fitting a "green" building into an 18th-century envelope, the Mars Education Center is slated to receive a LEED Silver rating.
The LEED rating was achieved through both careful building practices and selection of materials. Stone for the exterior was quarried locally; the quarried stone, unsuitable for use in the building, was recycled into a sedimentation pond at nearby Haque Brook to reduce run off into Lake George. The feature with the largest reduction in energy use, however, is the geothermal heating and cooling system that serves the entire building, using heat pumps from three deep wells to take advantage of the earth's natural energy.
Tonetti Associates Architects is an architectural firm
located in New York City that provides award-winning design solutions for museums,
educational institutions, and not-for-profit organizations.
Atlanta, GA -- Atlanta's most dramatic cultural landmark,
The Fabulous Fox Theatre, is introducing a new organization, The Fox Theatre
Institute, which will provide guidance to other Georgia theatres on how to successfully
preserve their theaters and assert their cultural significance in becoming economic
drivers in their communities.
The Fox Theatre Institute officially launched on July 18 in Atlanta at the League
of Historic American Theatres (LHAT) conference, "Thinking Outside the
Fox", which will celebrate the saving of The Fox Theatre and many other
theatres across the state of Georgia and the United States.
Currently, there are an estimated 260 historic theaters
in Georgia. For the past year, The Fox Theatre Institute has been working closely
with 15 of the remaining 260 historic theatres in cities around Georgia including;
Brunswick, Canton, Rome, Dahlonega, Fitzgerald, Athens, Marietta, Americus,
Calhoun, Thomaston, Augusta, Macon and Statesboro. The Institute will create
individualized plans for progress that will directly assist the theatres with
their needs including: programming, preservation, community building, operations,
and economic development. After the completion of the pilot program, The Institute
will expand their services to other theatres that are seeking guidance.
"The Fox Theatre's story of survival and success is the catalyst for this
movement", says Adina Alford, Assistant General Manager of The Fox Theatre.
"We want to share the knowledge that successful restorations of historic
theatres have the potential to inspire communities and positively affect their
cultural landscape. It's our goal to support communities in cities throughout
Georgia and the southeast through the efforts of The Fox Theatre Institute."

A fully funded Ph.D. studentship is available to undertake the above project (c.£12,600 p.a. plus fees), based at the University of the West of Scotland. This project is a co-funded collaboration between the University of the West of Scotland, the British Geological Survey and Historic Scotland.
The identification of the composition of the binder used in mortars in older masonry buildings and the specification of a compatible and authentic repair and replacement is, at present, a semi-quantitative process. Practical conservation of historic masonry buildings can demand authenticity as well as compatibility, which implies using like-for-like replacement materials derived from the original source where possible. There is, however, a paucity of research into the identification of the provenance of the raw materials used to produce the binder in old mortars, and how its mineralogy and texture are related to the performance of mortars.
In this project we will examine the complexities of the recognition, characterization and influence of the original limestone raw material on the historic production process and the final properties of the lime. This will be done using petrographic methods in combination with other mineralogical and chemical analyses (XRD, SEM, ICPMS) applied to historic mortars. A particular focus will be on the characterization of particles of remnant limestones and variably burnt lime, that record the original provenance of the limestone processed for lime for mortars.
This project aims to:

By APT member Frank S. Welsh, President of Welsh Color & Conservation, Inc.
First published in 1977, the latest (fourth) edition is
the most comprehensive of WCCI's Paintpamphlet™ to date.
It is a 36-page guidebook, illustrated with 75 color photographs, that is especially
designed for those who seek to discover the original colors of paints and wallpapers
in historic buildings.
Numerous architects, engineers, and museum administrators in the United States
and Canada alike have utilized the Paintpamphlet™ to economically assist
them in their quest of original color on structures as varied as 18th, 19th
and 20th century houses, churches, theaters, government and university buildings,
lighthouses, bridges, trains and boats. Because it is an instructional resource,
it has been included in many college and university preservation course syllabuses.

Historic Preservation Training Center News Release: Coastal Fortifications Workshop Provides Treatment and Best Practices Presentations
Fort Sumter National Monument hosted over 75 participants from more than fifteen National and State parks at the Preserving Coastal Forts: a National Park Service (NPS) Workshop held April 8-10, 2008 in Charleston, South Carolina. Park Superintendents, Cultural Resource and Facility Managers, Architects and Engineers, Masons and Maintenance Mechanics, contractors and partners attended.
The Superintendents of Fort Sumter, Fort Pulaski, and Castillo de San Marcos offered opening remarks shaping the challenges facing the stewards of coastal fortifications. They encouraged the workshop participants to learn from their results, share their knowledge and develop networks to inform future work. Cultural Resources Manager, Sandy Pusey-Cameron, outlined the scale of the preservation needs for the 59 NPS units that contain fortifications: there is more than $510M in deferred maintenance and $50M for fortification work now formulated for funding in the next five years.
The first day of the workshop participants visited Fort Moultrie where demonstrations by masons from the Historic Preservation Training Center (HPTC) and the maintenance staff from Fort Pulaski, assisted by students from the Savannah Collage of Art and Design, offered the participants "hands-on" learning about historic mortars. A field trip the following day to Fort Sumter provided the venue for a practicum, lead by building forensic engineers, on the effectiveness of waterproofing systems used at the fort.
Over the course of three days, Workshop presenters addressed "Lessons Learned" topics that included: recently completed brick masonry work at Forts Washington and Jefferson; results gained from developing and implementing treatment plans for concrete batteries within Golden Gate NRA, using building science to inform treatment decision making, plans for future work at Fort Jay and Castle William at Governors Island, using goats to control vegetation at Battery Weed at Fort Wadsworth within Gateway NRA, and controlling moisture at Fort Delaware State Park. Other guest speakers covered hurricane recovery work on forts at Gulf Island National Seashore and "Best Practices" derived from the sustained efforts to preserve the masonry at Castillo de San Marcos in St Augustine, Florida.
The presentation given by the primary author of the Fortification Preservation Handbook, David Hansen, was for many participants the highlight of the workshop. His case study summarized the work to restore Battery Worth at Fort Casey, a Washington State Park. His example of balanced practical solutions to numerous technical obstacles inspired many in the audience.
At the workshop conclusion the event sponsors the HPTC, the National Center for Preservation Training and Technology (NCPTT) and the Cultural Resources Division of the Southeast Regional Office, and Fort Sumter NM announced that digital versions of the Power Point presentations made at the workshop would be posted on the NCPTT website that was created for the event.
