Context Statements & Integrity: From Big Picture to Seven Aspects

This workshop will explore historic context statements for half of the day and will conclude with an examination of integrity for the second half of the day. First, you will engage with different approaches to developing contexts using frameworks for identifying and evaluating resources covering a variety of topics, themes, and geographic areas.  In the afternoon, you will examine the seven aspects of integrity using case studies. Sessions will pay special attention to integrity in Golden Gate National Recreation Area sites. You will look at the role of integrity in both designation as a historic resource and approval for historic tax credits. The workshop will conclude with a study tour of resources at the Presidio to examine integrity in the field.
