The Cultural Resource Management Program at the University of Victoria is pleased to offer the following 6-day immersion course for professionals in museums, heritage planning, and related organizations.
PRESERVING WOODEN STRUCTURES
The wooden materials, which shape both modest and monumental structures, are subject to the ravages of time, climate, inherent vice, insects and fungi. The course is devoted to a detailed examination of all aspects of wood as a material in heritage structures and decorative work and develops your ability to manage the preservation and conservation of wooden materials and structures through both lectures and field studies, with special emphasis on:
* characteristics of wood; wood chemistry and physics
* structural characteristics of historic wooden framed buildings
* environmental impacts and inherent vice
* bio-deterioration
* inspecting wooden structures and analyzing materials
* approaches to stabilization and preservation
* wood preservatives and pesticides
* identifying treatment requirements
* preventive maintenance
The course commences with lectures and practical work on wood anatomy; wood species and identification. All aspects of the deterioration of wood are examined, including physical, mechanical, chemical and biodeterioration by bacteria, fungi, insects and marine borers. Wood preservatives and pesticidal treatments are also discussed in detail with a case history-illustrated coverage of structural and decorative restoration and conservation treatments. The course is completed by a discussion of current international wood conservation problems.
Instructor: Martin Weaver is Director of the Center for Preservation Research at Columbia University and has extensive international consulting experience in building conservation.
