The Cultural Resource Management Program, at the University of
Victoria on southern Vancouver Island, is pleased to welcome
Martin Weaver back in June to teach two back-to-back courses on the
care of masonry and metals in historic structures. These six-day
immersion courses will combine in-class sessions and field visits to
examine the characteristics and conservation approaches to these
materials. Courses may be taken for credit toward the Diploma in
Cultural Conservation or for transfer to other programs, or they
may be completed on a non- credit basis.
Martin Weaver, Dipl.Arch.Assoc., is a leading international
specialist, educator, and consultant in the conservation heritage
structures and materials. He currently serves as Director for
Preservation Research at Columbia University, and is author of
many heritage conservation publications, including 'Conserving
Buildings: A Guide to Techniques and Materials'.
