Fitch was an architect, preservationist, and a founder of the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at Columbia University.

The topic for this year will be "The Preservationists' Eye: Esthetics in Reuse and Conservation of the Historic Built Environment" and will be held at the recently restored Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at 15 East 84th Street in New York City.

The deadline for applying for the Fitch Mid-Career Grant and the Richard L. Blinder Award is Wednesday, September 16, 2009.]]> http://ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-symposium-to-honor-james-marston-fitch/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-of-historic-iron-and-steel-in-bridges-and-other-metal-structures/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-of-historic-iron-and-steel-in-bridges-and-other-metal-structures/#comments Tue, 15 Sep 2009 16:15:51 +0000 NCPTT http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=4291 a three-day workshop on March 8, 9 and 10, 2010, to introduce a wide variety of interested personnel, including State Historic Preservation officers, Department of Transportation officials, engineers, engineering students, general contractors, and historic bridge preservationists, to restoration processes of historic metals using electric arc welding, heat straightening, and hot riveting processes.

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://ncptt.nps.gov/pttgrant-whats-out-there/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/mechanical-systems-in-historic-buildings-1998-20/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/mechanical-systems-in-historic-buildings-1998-20/#comments Wed, 29 Jul 2009 20:46:27 +0000 NCPTT http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3913

1. Provide a working vocabulary in each of the areas.
2. Discuss issues in each of the areas that specifically deal with historic preservation.
3. Establish a beginners level understanding of how each of these areas work in a building and provide some useful information on how to diagnose and remedy simple problems.
4. Present an historical perspective on the development of each of these trades.

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://ncptt.nps.gov/improved-sol-gel-consolidants-for-stone-2002-24/feed/ 1
