Preservation Field School
Study
Site: Hawai‘i
Volcanoes National Park
Dates:
July 6– August 2, 2008
The
17th annual University of Hawai‘i Preservation Field School
will be held in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park on the big island
of Hawai’i. Working closely with the National Park Service historians
and cultural resource managers, students will be introduced to techniques
for documenting historic buildings and cultural landscapes within
the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The project is field intensive,
but will include significant input, including lectures and demonstrations,
from leading experts in the field of historic preservation.
The course requires residence on the island of Hawai’i and daily
work in the park (Hawai’i residents within commuting distance
to the site are welcome to participate). Housing will be partially
supported by a grant but each student will need to anticipate some
housing costs as well as costs for transportation to and from the
island of Hawai‘i.
Hawai‘i
Volcanoes National Park
is located one-hour’s drive south of Hilo on the island
of Hawai’i. The park includes several ecosystems with diverse
climates. The weather fluctuates between cool, rainy, and sunny all
in a day’s time.
Participants
must provide their own camera, and cover partial housing costs, food,
and incidental expenses. The field course is open to graduate and
advanced undergraduate students and professionals in architecture,
art history, archaeology, anthropology, geography, planning, historic
preservation and other related fields.
