Ultimately, the What's Out There project seeks not only to make design landscapes more visible on a national scale, but also wants to encourage original scholarship aid in future NR and NHL nominations, encourage state and local landscape inventories, generate cultural landscape reports and inspire design professionals.]]> http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/pttgrant-whats-out-there/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/ncptt-to-host-9th-annual-preservation-in-your-community/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/ncptt-to-host-9th-annual-preservation-in-your-community/#comments Thu, 30 Jul 2009 15:04:50 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3951 NCPTT), Cane River National Heritage Area (CRNHA), and Cane River Creole National Historic Park (CARI) will showcase recent research at the 9th annual Preservation in Your Community (PIYC) on August 11, 2009 at 5:30 p.m. at NCPTT’s Lee H.

Later improvement of the suspension procedure resulted in consolidants that are much more stable and fluid. Stone treated with the particle-modified consolidant (PMC) increases dramatically in stiffness and strength. Most impressively in a sodium sulfate test, the PMC provided better protection than a commercial silicate consolidant.]]> http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/improved-sol-gel-consolidants-for-stone-2002-24/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/nationwide-cemetery-preservation-summit-schedule-and-abstracts/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/nationwide-cemetery-preservation-summit-schedule-and-abstracts/#comments Tue, 28 Jul 2009 18:45:48 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3863

This $49.95 course defines sustainable development as keeping what is "valuable by meeting our needs without prejudicing the ability of future generations to meet other own needs."

This course shows how sustainability and historic preservation work hand-in-hand to meet the goals of both.

The instructor, Hector Abreu Cintron, is well known in the preservation community as a cultural resources management expert.]]> http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/plan-180-preservation-and-sustainability-webinar/feed/ 3 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-field-school/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-field-school/#comments Fri, 24 Jul 2009 13:02:18 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3836 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-field-school/feed/ 1 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/writing-for-the-web-workshop/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/writing-for-the-web-workshop/#comments Mon, 20 Jul 2009 16:33:32 +0000 Jeff Guin http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3830

After two days of intense discussions, the group developed the core of the Pocantico Proclamation on Sustainability and Historic Preservation. While a good starting point to further discussion on sustainability of the built environment, we ask that you review the Pocantico Proclamation and add your comments. Input from the broader preservation community is critical. We appreciate your participation. ]]> http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/pocantico-proclamation-on-sustainability-and-historic-preservation/feed/ 14 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/cemetery-landscape-preservation-workshop/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/cemetery-landscape-preservation-workshop/#comments Wed, 27 May 2009 18:39:07 +0000 Debbie Smith http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3035 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/cemetery-landscape-preservation-workshop/feed/ 1 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/ornamental-iron-workshop/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/ornamental-iron-workshop/#comments Sun, 03 May 2009 14:00:14 +0000 Jason Church http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=2735 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/ornamental-iron-workshop/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-institute-nantucket/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-institute-nantucket/#comments Fri, 01 May 2009 17:19:39 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3097 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-institute-nantucket/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/262500-awarded-for-2009-ptt-grants/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/262500-awarded-for-2009-ptt-grants/#comments Mon, 20 Apr 2009 11:58:48 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=2967 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/262500-awarded-for-2009-ptt-grants/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/replacing-trees-in-historic-landscapes/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/replacing-trees-in-historic-landscapes/#comments Fri, 17 Apr 2009 15:30:41 +0000 Debbie Smith http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=2940 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/replacing-trees-in-historic-landscapes/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/call-for-presentations/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/call-for-presentations/#comments Tue, 31 Mar 2009 18:54:31 +0000 Jason Church http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=2789 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/call-for-presentations/feed/ 1
