The Preservationist Toolkit – The Basics of Preservation Planning, Technology and Advocacy
The seasoned preservationist knows that there are many tools and technologies available to help identify, preserve, protect and promote historic resources. However, the basics of modern preservation are still something of a mystery to those who do not regularly work with potential and designated historic resources or who may be trying to become more familiar about preservation practices to effectuate historic conservation activities in their community. This workshop is designed to provide some of the basic preservation tools to help anyone seeking to promote or engage in historic conservation as part of their business, organization, or as a community advocate. A complimentary tour of Mission San Juan Capistrano will be provided to those attending the workshop in-person.
