This 19th century coastal fort on Grand Terre Island, Louisiana, was badly contaminated by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Our scientists visited the site twice last year to perform some preliminary studies on oil removal, and this summer I have been continuing with research on removing weathered oil from historic brick. The goal is to find a cleaning method that effectively strips the oil from the masonry without causing additional harm to either the structure or the environment.]]> http://ncptt.nps.gov/new-study-expands-research-for-removing-crude-oil-from-historic-brick/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/timber-framers-guild-apprenticeship-program/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/timber-framers-guild-apprenticeship-program/#comments Wed, 17 Nov 2010 17:18:58 +0000 Sean Clifford http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=8750 http://ncptt.nps.gov/timber-framers-guild-apprenticeship-program/feed/ 2 http://ncptt.nps.gov/windows2010/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/windows2010/#comments Fri, 23 Jul 2010 19:58:30 +0000 Sarah Jackson http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=6912 Coastal Heritage Society and the Georgia State Historic Preservation Office,will offer a two-day workshop on restoring wood windows in Savannah, Ga., at the Roundhouse Museum Sept. 3-4, 2010.
