Introduction
In 1968, the National Trust for Historic Preservation approved the Whitehill Report on Professional and Public Education for Historic Preservation, a study to examine how future generations could be better prepared to further the preservation of America’s historic structures.
The Whitehill Report made two complementary recommendations. The first was that specialized historic preservation education at the graduate level would be the most effective way to advance and strengthen the academic elements of historic preservation. A second, equally important recommendation was to encourage hands-on training in the preservation trades. In the forty years since the Whitehill Report, the first recommendation has largely been implemented while little attention has been given to the development of preservation trades education. To date, there are over 40 universities offering graduate degrees in Historic Preservation while there are only eight community colleges that have preservation trades focused programs. Nearly all of the preservation trades programs have been developed during the last ten years.
This guide has been created in the hope that others can utilize the practices of emerging and existing programs to introduce preservation trades training into high school Career and Technical Centers (CTCs).
