Amst 696B-Hawaii Preservation Field School
(6 credits)

An on-site course of the Historic Preservation Program, Department of American Studies, College of Arts and Humanities, University of Hawai‘i at Manoa, in cooperation with Outreach College.

Open to graduate students and advanced undergraduate students in American Studies, Architecture, Urban and Regional Planning, Anthropology, Archaeology, History, Art History, and related fields.

The 21st 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 Park Service historians and cultural resource managers, students will be introduced to techniques for documenting historic sites and cultural landscapes within the Hawai'i 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.

Academic Credit
The course carries six graduate credit hours from the Department of American Studies, University of Hawaii at Manoa, accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. In addition to the annual Historic Preservation Field School, the program offers the Graduate Certificate in Historic Preservation.
