[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

New Course/Training Opportunity at Athabasca University:
HERM 671 Documentation and Condition Assessment - Spring/Summer 2018

Athabasca University's Heritage Resources Management Program will be offering a new course, Documentation and Condition Assessment, in the upcoming spring/summer semester from May to August 2018 (14 weeks online and one week in-person).

HERM 671 will explore various techniques and technologies employed in the field of heritage conservation for recording and documenting historic resources. New ways of observing and thinking about the built environment through practical applications of documentation methods and fieldwork activities will be exercised. This course will examine the documentation methods to research, inspect, record, and assess the condition and quality of buildings, districts and cultural landscapes combined with the methods to interpret their historical and architectural significance according to professional standards. The course will also provide an overview of manual, photographic, and computer-aided extant recording techniques; and building repair assessment techniques.

This course is offered online and involves a one-week in-residence component. During the week of August 5-11, 2018, participants will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experiences working in groups and as part of teams on historic sites in St. Albert, Alberta. Please be advised that attending this one-week in-residency component is required in order to successfully complete the course.
Everyone is welcome to register in this course. Participants can take the course either as part of their university studies (3 credits) or for professional development (as a non-program student).
Dr. Mario Santana Quintero will teach this course; he will join the participants both online and in person during the residency week (please see his bio below).
