Do you wonder what a career in historic preservation might look like? If this describes you, D continue reading, because in this guide, I’ll describe how to get from where you are now, with little or no education or experience in the field, to gainful employment. This guide, while informed from my own practice experience, is largely based on empirical evidence from various areas of practice within historic preservation and current literature that explores the future of the field. To my knowledge, it is the first and only such guide to thoroughly reference the kinds of skills historic preservation employers con- sistently seek and relate these skills to the field’s future. I’ve worked in all of the major ar- eas of practice that I describe in this guide and, since 2011, have been teaching in an historic preservation program of some kind; I am currently Figure 1.

Through my professional experience and research, I will attempt to provide a rigorous explanation of the way in which the field is divided into specific sectors of practice, reveal the first census of the skills that historic preservation employers seek, and provide an overview of educational options that you should consider based on your specific interests. — A Guide to Becoming an Historic Preservation Professional — There are two things I need to explain before I begin. First, the phrase, “historic preservation”, is more closely associated with rules, laws, and regulations and a politi- cal movement than with a specific career path. This observation might seem odd, but while there are plenty of historic preservation laws, there are no job titles with the phrase “historic preservation- ist” in them. Calling oneself an “historic preservationist” can de- scribe an advocation as well as a sense of mind, a calling, and an Figure 2. Historic preservation is about more than just build- ethical prerogative, but it won’t be ings. Its practitioners also focus on the full richness of cultural diversity in all kinds of settings in the built environment and in your job title. It’s therefore im- cultural landscapes. (Courtesy of Eric Garcetti under a CC 2.0 portant to be clear that the way in license.) which I use “historic preservation” is quite specific in this article with a focus on career paths that involve, in a significant way, the iden- tification, treatment, interpretation, and/or protection of older buildings, places, structures, and/or landscapes in the United States. My focus is therefore on old things that are very difficult or pretty near impossible to move. (Ever try moving a cultural landscape?) Technically, what I’m addressing is the conservation of immovable, tangible heritage, but that’s quite a mouthful, so I’ll stick with historic preservation for the sake of simplicity. Second, I need to be clear that this document is heavily influenced by the current state of the field of historic preservation, which is to say that it is primarily driven by regulatory compliance and influ- enced by past practices that focused on the buildings and history of rich, white men to the exclusion of women and racial, cultural, and sexual/gender minorities. Today, we recognize that historic preser- vation needs to be broader and more inclusive of all people, regardless of sex/gender, sexual orientation, race, or ethnicity. The stories of the oppressed and marginalized need to be uncovered, recognized, and told to balance past injustices. To give you a sense of the magnitude of this issue, of the 95,214 properties currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places (maintained by the National Park Service), which is the nation’s official instrument to recognize the historical significance of build- ings, sites, landscapes, and archaeological resources: • 2.00% are related to African American history; • 0.42% are related to women’s history; • 0.14% are related to Latino heritage; • 0.10% are related to “Asian” history; • 0.03% are related to LGBTQ history. We need new people to enter the field who can broaden its diversity and focus on the historical and contemporary contributions of all Americans to our history and the vibrancy of our built environment and cultural landscapes. Much of this work will need to incorporate new methods to understand in- tangible heritage and its relationship to the built environment. While understanding the physical 2 — A Guide to Becoming an Historic Preservation Professional — characteristics of buildings and places will remain a core feature of historic preservation, future practi- tioners will increasingly need to understand and apply perspectives from the social sciences (e.g., an- thropology, sociology, psychology, urban and regional planning). Historic preservation is one of the only fields where you can combine the natural sciences with the humanities all within the context of making the world a better place for people. The brightness of our field’s future is therefore very much dependent on increasing diversity and inclusion in all forms in all contexts. What kind of work do people do in historic preservation? There has never been an attempt, as far as I am aware, to understand and analyze the historic preservation field from the perspective of employment numbers or activity. The federal government does not track data on historic preservation careers or employment and only recently does any data exist on the number of historic preservation majors in colleges and universities. Career advice in his- toric preservation is, therefore, largely anecdotal and not particularly reliable in many circumstances. In order to address this lack of knowledge, from April of 2016 to May of 2017, I performed a census (as opposed to a survey) of all “historic preservation” jobs that meet the definition I described, above, and were posted to the indeed.com job aggregator.1 For each job that I found, I performed a content analysis in order to understand, from the employer’s perspective, the specific skills, knowledge and abilities required. This process also helped me understand the field as a whole and major areas of practice, which I will refer to as sectors. Figure 3 shows the major sectors in historic preservation, which are, in order of most to least prominence: regulatory compliance, architecture and construction, historic sites and museums, preservation advocacy, and downtown revitalization. Now, let’s analyze the kind of work that each sector performs. Figure 3.

Wells, “Challenging the Assumption of a Direct Relationship between the Fields of Historic Preservation and Architecture in the United States,” Frontiers of Architectural Research, vol. 7, no. 4, 2018. See www.sciencedirect.com/journal/frontiers-of-architectural-research 3 — A Guide to Becoming an Historic Preservation Professional — Regulatory compliance The majority of work in this area is performed by what are known as cultural resource management (CRM) companies and, secondarily, by local, state, and federal government entities. True to its de- scription, nearly all activities done by employees in this area are driven by specific regulations, which are: • 36 CFR Part 800 (the implementing rule of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act [NHPA]); • 40 CFR Parts 1500 to 1508 (the implementing rule of the National Environmental Policy Act [NEPA]); • state historic preservation statutes (varies, but often mirrors the NHPA); • local historic preservation ordinances (varies, but typically design review of listed historic buildings and places by an historic preservation commission). Each federal agency is required to have an “historic preservation officer” who is ultimately responsi- ble for the agency’s compliance with Section 106. Similarly, in or- der to receive certain kinds of fed- eral funding, the federal govern- ment requires each state (and de- pendencies of the United States) to have a “state historic preservation officer” (SHPO) who coordinates Section 106 work between

The difficulty of accessing data from projects in which one was not directly involved indicates an apparent reluctance to archive raw data and supplemental information with digital repositories to be reused in the future. There is hope that additional legislation, guidelines from professional organisations, and educational efforts will change these practices. 1. Introduction Though we are well into the 21st century, responsible digital archiving of archaeological data in the United States is not common practice. Digital archiving of cultural resource management reports in State Historic Preservation Offices, where they are often available by request though perhaps at a cost, is common; however, digitally archiving the datasets and other supporting materials that went into the creation of those documents is not. Though a vocal minority advocates for responsible digital archiving practices (Kansa and Kansa 2013; 2018; Kansa et al.

  • Federal Laws and Regulations Requiring Curation of Digital Archaeological Documents and Data
    Federal Laws and Regulations Requiring Curation of Digital Archaeological Documents and Data Cultural Heritage Partners, PLLC Prepared for: Arizona State University October 25th, 2012 © 2012 Arizona State University. All rights reserved. This report by Cultural Heritage Partners, PLLC describes and analyzes federal requirements for the access to and long-term preservation of digital archaeological data. We conclude that the relevant federal laws, regulations, and policies mandate that digital archaeological data generated by federal agencies must be deposited in an appropriate repository with the capability of providing appropriate long-term digital curation and accessibility to qualified users. Federal Agency Responsibilities for Preservation and Access to Archaeological Records in Digital Form Federal requirements for appropriate management of archaeological data are set forth in the National Historic Preservation Act (“NHPA”), the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (“ARPA”), the regulations regarding curation of data promulgated pursuant to those statutes (36 C.F.R. 79), and the regulations promulgated by the National Archives and Records Administration (36 C.F.R. 1220.1-1220.20) that apply to all federal agencies. We discuss each of these authorities in turn. Statutory Authority: Maintenance of Archaeological Data Archaeological data can be generated from many sources, including investigations or studies undertaken for compliance with the NHPA, ARPA, and other environmental protection laws. The NHPA was adopted in 1966, and strongly

    DIGITAL DOCUMENTATION FOR HISTORIC RESOURCES by MELISSA EVE GOGO Under the Direction of Mark Reinberger ABSTRACT This paper briefly analyzes the current documentation standards for Federal programs and creates an argument for the use of digital technologies in historic documentation. The technologies of photogrammetry, and laser scanning are addressed as methods for three dimensional modeling and compared to the current standard. Additionally, the issues posed by archiving on digital media are presented and courses of action suggested. Finally, the feasibility of a universal file format for archival purposes is addressed, and current progression toward this goal discussed.

  • Historic Preservation
    Historic Preservation Request We urge Congress to: • support FY 2021 funding of $61 million for State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs) and $22 million for Tribal Historic Preservation Offices (THPOs). • provide $18 million for Save America's Treasures. • provide $28 million for competitive grants to preserve the sites and stories of the Civil Rights Movement. • support $10 million for Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization grants for the rehabilitation of historic properties and economic development of rural communities. • continue to support the Historic Tax Credit by cosponsoring the Historic Tax Credit Growth and Opportunity Act (H.R. 2825/S. 2615). • support the legislative proposals recommended by the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission in its report to the President on the country’s 250th commemoration. Introduction State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs) and Tribal Historic Preservation Offices (THPOs) carry out the work of the federal government in the states and tribal communities: finding America’s historic places, making nominations to the National Register of Historic Places, reviewing impacts of federal projects, providing assistance to developers seeking a rehabilitation tax credit, creating alliances with local government preservation commissions and conducting preservation education and planning. This federal-state-local foundation of America’s historic preservation program was established by the National Historic Preservation Act. Established in 1998, Save America's Treasures is a public-private partnership that includes the National Park Service, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and other federal cultural agencies. The grant program helps preserve nationally significant historic properties and collections that convey our nation's rich heritage to future generations of Americans. Since 1999, there have been almost 4,000 requests for funding totaling $1.54 billion.

  • Cultural Resources Update
    Cultural Resources Update Department of Defense Cultural Resources Program Newsletter Volume 11, No 1, Spring/Summer 2015 The NHPA’s New Home in the US Code—Title 54 By Michelle Volkema with contributions from John Renaud, NPS As you’ve probably already heard, the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) has a new home in the United States Code. The NHPA’s previous home was in Title 16 – Conservation, 16 U.S.C. § 470 et seq. Its new location is Title 54 – National Park Service and Related Programs, 54 U.S.C. § 300101 et seq. While the name “National Historic Preservation Act” has been removed from Title 54, the NHPA remains a valid statute of law, P.L. 89-665. As such, referring to sections of the NHPA as “Section 106” or “Section 110” is still correct, as those are sections of the statute and not the code, however their legal citations have changed. While the code revision was a surprise to many, it is actually just another step in a long effort to clean up the U.S. Code undertaken by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel (OLRC) beginning in 1974. The OLRC is an office within the US House of Representatives, and is tasked with maintaining, revising, and updating the U.S. Code.
