The National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT) in partnership with Save Our Cemeteries, Inc. (SOC) will be holding a Limewash Workshop on June 13, 2009 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The United States Committee of the International Council of Monuments and Sites (US/ICOMOS) will honor the memory of its former Board Member and distinguished Fellow Saidee Watson Newell by naming the first public lecture of the “US/ICOMOS International Preservation Lecture Series” in her honor.

US/ICOMOS seeks abstracts that discuss innovative, successful programs and partnerships involving collaboration in international preservation within three broad areas.

More than $165,000 will fund research to protect America’s historic legacy as part of the National Center for Preservation Technology & Training’s PTT Grants program.

NCPTT’s Sarah Jackson was featured in the Spring 2007 issue of Traditional Masonry Magazine (Volume 2, Issue 2).

NCPTT’s Architecture and Engineering program took part in the recent International Preservation Trades Workshops in New Orleans.

Kirk Cordell, NCPTT executive director, joined representatives from The History Channel and the Department of Transportation in co-chairing the first Expert Panel under the Preserve America Summit.

David Morgan, NCPTT archeology and collections chief, presented a paper at the Society of American Archeologists (SAA) annual meeting on burials excavated from Jackson Barracks in New Orleans.

NCPTT worked in conjunction with the American Institute for Conservation to produce the workshop series, “After the Storm: Recovery of Wet Collections,” which was held in March.
