The Cultural Resource Management Program at the University of Victoria is pleased to offer the following distance education course CONSERVING HISTORIC STRUCTURES and 6-day immersion course STUDIES IN BUILDING CONSERVATION: MASONRY for professionals in museums, heritage planning and related organizations.
Conserving Historic Structures
While historic structures range from modest to monumental, and encompass a remarkable variety of materials and uses, approaches to their conservation are governed by core principles and determined by well-developed standards of practice. This innovative distance education course enhances your understanding of the complex characteristics of heritage structures, systems, and materials, and provides frameworks for planning and managing appropriate conservation processes. Using a combination of print and text materials, CD Rom and web resources, you interact with the instructor and participants from across North America and beyond, to develop your ability to:
* identify the building materials and systems commonly encountered in heritage structures
* analyze the nature and extent of deterioration in building materials and systems' and identify its causes
* analyze the environmental factors which contribute to deterioration
* investigate and document the physical condition and history of a structure and its materials
* select conservation strategies for a range of materials, based on the condition and intended use of the structure
* plan and manage the conservation process
Throughout the course you are encouraged to work with a local historic building or structure as focus for learning activities and assignments. Due to its limited length and broad scope, the course is not intended to provide participants with the skills to conduct specific conservation treatments.

* characteristics of masonry materials
* structural characteristics of historic masonry buildings
* environmental impacts and inherent vice
* inspecting masonry structures and analyzing materials
* approaches to stabilization and preservation
* identifying treatment requirements
* preventive maintenance
