NCPTT and the Getty Conservation Institute hosted a colloquium in June 2009 to identify curricular additions for a program focused on the engineering evaluation and remediation of heritage structures. The colloquium focused on the quantitative techniques and methodologies applied to the engineering evaluation and remediation of heritage structures, and the challenge of ensuring that students acquire the competencies necessary to address the challenges of the market. ]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://ncptt.nps.gov/colloquium-on-the-development-of-curricula-in-heritage-preservation-engineering-2011-12/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Ornamental Iron Workshop</title><link>http://ncptt.nps.gov/ornamental-iron-workshop/</link> <comments>http://ncptt.nps.gov/ornamental-iron-workshop/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 03 May 2009 14:00:14 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jason Church</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Cemetery Conservation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Training]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cemetery]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cleaning]]></category> <category><![CDATA[deterioration]]></category> <category><![CDATA[documentation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Iron]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ornamental]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ornamental iron]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ornamentation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Preservation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Resetting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Rust Treatments]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Safety]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Simple Repairs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Surface Finishes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Workshop]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=2735</guid> <description><![CDATA[The purpose of this event was to educate people about the differences in cast and wrought iron and preservation/restoration methods for each type of material.
