HIST 5110 Historical Preservation


Virtually every day, buildings are constructed, modified or torn down somewhere in our communities, changing the appearance, value and feeling of where we live. As historians and citizens, how can we integrate changes while preserving a sense of place to pass on to future generations? Historic preservation engages this process of community change, which often rides along the sharp edge of private property versus public interest. This course introduces the theory, structure and practice of historic preservation, through scholarly and in-field examples of how this national system of public policy effectively meets with local identity in shaping the future of change in our communities. Prerequisite(s): HIST 5000
