“Hey, what can you tell me about this building?” is often a conversation opener when someone finds out you’re an architectural historian. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, it’s a building or an area you already know a lot about. Other times, however, and especially if you’re documenting a building as part of a survey or other documentation, you might be starting from scratch.

This webinar will give CRM professionals a basis for understanding how to generate a research plan for a property, including questions to think about, likely repositories to use, including nationally available repositories, and types of sources to reference. The session will also cover: 

  • Common traps and pitfalls
  • Historic image use, including Creative Commons Licenses and what they mean
  • Data and bibliography management, including an overview of how to use the web-based bibliography software Zotero. 

Note: This webinar will occur on Eastern Time
