Hudgins, Committee Chair Frances Ford Ralph Muldrow Elizabeth Ryan ABSTRACT Over one million visitors per year traverse the visitor path through George Washington’s home at Mount Vernon. Increased visitation has tested the limits of the architectural materials and created the single most threatening source of degradation. While the history of Mount Vernon is dotted with attempts to mitigate damage caused by visitors, scientific analysis of the dynamic impacts to the historic fabric is needed to preserve the integrity of the preeminent national house museum. The following thesis presents a holistic analysis of visitor impact and material degradation occurring at Mount Vernon.

  • Postmodernism and the Theme Park James Marston Fitch
    Preservation vs. Historicism: Postmodernism and the Theme Park James Marston Fitch In Selected Writings on Architecture, Preservation and the Built Environment […] It is a romantic proposition to insist that the historic building, once having been saved from the bulldozer, must be preserved in exactly the state in which it was received. It is quite true that any old building, like old artifacts generally, shows signs of all the blows of outrageous fortune to which it has been subjected. And this patina of use may be helpful in reconstructing the actual life-history of the artifact. But they have not necessarily enhanced its artistic integrity. Quite the contrary is too often the case, so that the intentions of the original artist and the client who commissioned the artifact are quite obscured by subsequent interventions in the corpus. This is clearer in a painting than in a building, since our relationship to the one is much simpler and more linear than to the second. In fact, one might say that anything that has happened to a painting since it was first made has altered its artistic integrity. Almost certainly, it will also have been diminished by environmental agents: the chemical action of sunlight, moisture, dust, candle smoke, polluted air; the soaps of cleaners and the waxes of restorers-not to mention well intentioned in-painting by subsequent artists to "improve" it. Thus the modem conservator of painting takes as his task the return of the historic painting as nearly as possible to its original condition. Using the best of modern science and technology, the art conservator undertakes that 1) nothing of the original fabric is to be removed; 2) nothing new is to be added which cannot be justified by rigorous archival and laboratory research which 3) cannot be subsequently removed without damage to the original fabric.

  • Art: Property Law's Case Against Private Hoarding of “Public” Art

This open-access article is brought to you by the Georgetown Law Library. Posted with permission of the author. Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.georgetown.edu/facpub Part of the Intellectual Property Law Commons, and the Law and Society Commons CONNECTICUT LAW REVIEW VOLUME 50 AUGUST 2018 NUMBER 3 Article The Public Trust in Public Art: Property Law’s Case against Private Hoarding of “Public” Art HOPE M. BABCOCK Private hoarding of important works of art is a phenomenon that has caused their disappearance from public view. The loss of this art undermines republican values like education, community, and citizenship, and therefore should be resisted. This Article explores various legal tools to prevent this from happening, including doctrines and laws that protect artists’ rights in their work, but which offer the public little relief. Turning to two well-known common-law doctrines—public dedication and public trust—to see whether they might provide a solution, the author favors the latter because it is nimbler and better suited to the public nature of important works of art. But she recognizes that making viable use of the public trust doctrine requires enhancement with incentives, such as those offered by listing the art on a register, the tax code, and external norms of social behavior.

CONTEMPORARY ISSUES CONFRONT CULTURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT within the National Park Service (NPS) resulting in challenges to restoration and protection. In particu- lar, lack of public support for cultural resources leading to financial struggles, cli- mate change affecting ecosystem dynamics, and natural hazards inducing damage across landscapes, influence cultural resource management. Cultural resources are “historic objects” that reflect the history and heritage of the land. These resources include ethnographic materials and spoken word as representations of cultural meanings that explain connections between native people and landscapes. Such resources illuminate our past as a society, community, and individual, providing understanding for identity and life direction. Challenges to restoration and protec- tion of these resources may lead to permanent loss of historical understanding and landscape meanings. Thus, it is imperative to address these contemporary issues facing cultural resource management for the continued existence of such resources.

Avoiding exposure to unfiltered daylight and fluorescent lamps can help to prevent this type of damamge.
