Trataremos de enseñar los procedimientos básicos para recolocar una lápida de piedra. Hay dos cosas importantes que recordar. Lo primero es asegurarse de la seguridad personal y lo segundo es no hacer daño a la lápida como tal. Estas son estructuras delicadas pero pesadas y se debe de ejercitar una gran cantidad de cuidado y precaución al moverlas.

Antes de empezar, tenemos que asegurarnos de que todas nuestras partes estén seguras y estables.]]> http://ncptt.nps.gov/recolocacion-basica-de-monumentos-2007-02/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/limpieza-basica-para-monumentos-2007-01/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/limpieza-basica-para-monumentos-2007-01/#comments Thu, 15 Sep 2011 20:27:19 +0000 Jason Church http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=13975 http://ncptt.nps.gov/limpieza-basica-para-monumentos-2007-01/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/breaking-the-virtual-barrier-a-model-program-for-preservation-trades-education-and-training-utilization-2011-04/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/breaking-the-virtual-barrier-a-model-program-for-preservation-trades-education-and-training-utilization-2011-04/#comments Thu, 18 Aug 2011 16:26:15 +0000 Sean Clifford http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=12795
While the original project involved utilizing Interactive Television as the means for broadcasting preservation trades courses, ultimately wireless digital technology was used for implementation. A one week dry stone masonry course was conducted at two college sites some fifty miles apart. The course was broadcast in real time to both sites simultaneously. The Master Instructor alternated sites each day so students at each site had the experience of interacting with him since this was a pilot project.

The implementation of the project presented its share of technological challenges, but none were impossible to solve. Future projects will benefit from the lessons learned by all parties in the process. At the end, the project was successful in that we were able to use wireless digital technology to transmit real time video and audio to both sites making the instructional experience interactive. It is then possible to take the instructors expertise and broadcast this to students in remote locations.]]> http://ncptt.nps.gov/breaking-the-virtual-barrier-a-model-program-for-preservation-trades-education-and-training-utilization-2011-04/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/cmc-basics-in-lake-geneva-wi/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/cmc-basics-in-lake-geneva-wi/#comments Thu, 11 Aug 2011 20:47:33 +0000 Jason Church http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=12782 Wisconsin State Historic Preservation Office, will offer a cemetery monument conservation basics workshop May 2012, in Lake Geneva, Wisc.  The training is targeted to the nonprofessional, such as church sextons, genealogists, cemetery grounds workers, and family members.

The Conference will be held February 15-16, 2012 on the campus of Northwestern University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. The program will feature two days of contributed papers and a poster session. We are soliciting oral and poster presentations that discuss topics which center on Folk and Outsider art conservation and preservation. These include treatments, applications, future development directions, and research. ]]> http://ncptt.nps.gov/divine-disorder/feed/ 8 http://ncptt.nps.gov/restore-workshop-on-inspection-repair-and-preservation-of-high-rise-terra-cotta-structures/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/restore-workshop-on-inspection-repair-and-preservation-of-high-rise-terra-cotta-structures/#comments Tue, 28 Jun 2011 19:07:13 +0000 Sean Clifford http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=11195 http://ncptt.nps.gov/restore-workshop-on-inspection-repair-and-preservation-of-high-rise-terra-cotta-structures/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/lead-paint-and-historic-buildings-training-manual-2002-07/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/lead-paint-and-historic-buildings-training-manual-2002-07/#comments Sun, 29 May 2011 14:49:34 +0000 Derek Linn http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=14460 http://ncptt.nps.gov/lead-paint-and-historic-buildings-training-manual-2002-07/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-trainnet-on-line-training-for-local-government-officials-local-government-commission-members-and-their-staff-1999-22/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-trainnet-on-line-training-for-local-government-officials-local-government-commission-members-and-their-staff-1999-22/#comments Sun, 29 May 2011 14:35:37 +0000 Derek Linn http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=14453 http://ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-trainnet-on-line-training-for-local-government-officials-local-government-commission-members-and-their-staff-1999-22/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/existing-learning-and-development-opportunities-in-cultural-resources/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/existing-learning-and-development-opportunities-in-cultural-resources/#comments Sun, 01 May 2011 16:17:02 +0000 Sean Clifford http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=11210 http://ncptt.nps.gov/existing-learning-and-development-opportunities-in-cultural-resources/feed/ 2 http://ncptt.nps.gov/greenpreservationworkshop/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/greenpreservationworkshop/#comments Fri, 04 Mar 2011 20:59:39 +0000 Sarah Jackson http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=10188 http://ncptt.nps.gov/greenpreservationworkshop/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/ornamental-iron-workshop-2011/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/ornamental-iron-workshop-2011/#comments Tue, 15 Feb 2011 17:59:25 +0000 Sean Clifford http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=10062 http://ncptt.nps.gov/ornamental-iron-workshop-2011/feed/ 2
