Topics included appropriate treatments for 19th century above-ground tombs, lime-based building technology in plaster, mortar, limewash, and masonry applications, architectural history, preservation technology, landscape architecture, funerary iconography, and the history of New Orleans Cemeteries.
Hello there!
I am currently a student in an MLS program with a focus on archives and preservation, here, in Portland, Oregon.
I am very interested in becoming involved with the Preservation Studies Summer Field School at Tulane in 2010 and was wondering how to begin this process, if I am even eligible!
I am very interested in cemetery restoration, especially in the South.
I look forward to hearing from you in the soon future!

Heather,
I am not sure if the planning has begun for the Preservation Studies Summer Field School. I would start checking the PTN site (http://www.iptw.org/) and the Tulane site (http://architecture.tulane.edu/news/728). Heather Knight was in charge on the Tulane side in 2009. Her contact information is available at the link above.
