UVA Falmouth (Jamaica) Field School in Historic Preservation
Jennifer Palmer
Webmaster
From the Univ of Mary Washington website:
I'm writing to announce again the fifth annual UVA Falmouth (Jamaica)
Field School in Historic Preservation. Each year our program is enriched by students from
other universities. Students can find more information and applications
at: http://www.studyabroad.virginia.edu/. Those wishing to initiate an
application should contact Lisa Marks, in the international studies
office at "Lisa Evans Marks (lem7c)" <lem7c@Virginia.EDU>
The application deadline is March 1 and applicants will be notified by
March 25.
The program is a four week, three credit course offered in the early
summer 2010. The site is the architectural rich coastal town of
Falmouth. Designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students from
both UVA and
other institutions, the field school engages many aspects of the
practice of preservation in the culturally diverse and economically
complex context of the Caribbean. Students learn a variety of skills,
ranging from the conservation of historic brick masonry and timber
framing, to recording threatened buildings through detailed measured
drawings, including learning how to "read" the historic fabric of a
building. Co-directed by Louis P. Nelson, of the School of Architecture
at the University of Virginia, and Matthew Webster, Architectural
Conservator and Manager of Architectural Collections for the Colonial
Williamsburg Foundation, the program balances field methods in recording
historic buildings and architectural conservation. In Falmouth, the
field school is supported by the local efforts of Falmouth Heritage
Renewal, a nonprofit preservation organization with over a decade of
experience in historic preservation in Falmouth.
