Building Knowledge: How to Gather Documentation on Historic Structures and Landscapes Webinar

Does your organization need more documentation on historic structures and/or landscapes it owns or manages? Are there reports you want but you don’t know how to go about getting them?

Join us on Wednesday, October 21st from 2-3:30 Eastern for Building Knowledge: How to Gather Documentation on Historic Structures and Landscapes. The webinar is part of the StEPs Lab series offered by the American Association for State and Local History.

Guest speaker Rachel Leibowitz, Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, will discuss finding someone to research and write Historic Structures and other reports, existing studies you may not be aware of, and the types of information that can be gleaned from these documents. Paid and unpaid staff, volunteers, and board members will want to take part in this entry level webinar. 

StEPs is the Standards and Excellence Program for History Organizations. It helps small- and mid-sized history museums, historic sites and houses, including all-volunteer ones, assess policies and practices, manage daily operations and plan for the future. A three-tiered system of Basic, Good and Better recommendations allows for self-paced progress by even the smallest of organizations. Enrollment in the program is a one-time fee of $175.
