Many historic preservation programs train young professionals to prepare high quality descriptions of exteriors. Due to the steep learning curve of students who generally enter programs with no knowledge of historic architecture, academic training can fall short in training young professionals to describe historic interiors.

This presentation fills any gaps in training by providing an organized template to guide interior descriptions for any report type. From the perspective of owners or managers working in cultural resource firms, the presentation will promote high quality descriptions by your staff that will promote professionalism of your staff in addition to the satisfaction of clients, SHPO staff members, and reviewers from preservation entities (such as state preservation trusts or historical societies).

Note: This webinar will occur on Eastern Time
