Unraveling the Nuances of the Secretary of the Interior Standards

The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation (Secretary’s Standards) are the philosophical framework for historic preservation projects in California and across the United States. In particular, Rehabilitation Standard #9 provides for the broadest level of interpretation as related to potential projects involving historic resources. This intensive, one-day workshop will delve into the do's and don'ts of treatment in order to meet the Standards for Rehabilitation. Particular attention will be paid to materials, safety, and the often-subjective Standard #9. Using case studies from California and the Sacramento region, attendees will examine the standards' relationship with material, setting, and integrity. The workshop will close with a tour of an exemplary site in Sacramento to examine how the standards were met using creative solutions.

Learning Objectives

Differentiate between projects that meet the standards and those that fail to comply
Balance financial, environmental, and safety demands of projects with the Standards
Engage with creative methods for meeting the standards using solutions from case examples
Examine case examples in the Sacramento region and the measures used to meet the Standards for Rehabilitation.
