Fieldwork

CPCRS organizes field projects to apply research and teaching to the practical challenges faced by sites, their organizations, and stakeholders. Fieldwork provides essential learning and research opportunities: testing replicable models, mapping out ideal processes, revising and redesigning policies, and practicing collaboration.

All our efforts are directed to holistic approaches to preservation – in terms of scale, community needs, material realities, creative opportunities, management, and financing. To advance these goals we create opportunities for students to gain fieldwork experience in class and through paid internships.
