| dc.description.abstract | The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was established in 1933 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to provide work for young men who were unemployed due to the Depression and to create a work force for the purpose of conserving natural resources. Part of this initiative was the development of state parks nationwide under the direction of the National Park Service. This thesis addresses the preservation needs of park structures built by the CCC in the Pacific Northwest. It provides a brief overview of the historical context of the CCC labor force that built the structures and the National Park Service Rustic design principles that guided their work. This context demonstrates the cultural resource value of these structures and serves as a basis for the primary focus of this thesis, a Preservation Guide for CCC structures. Structures in Oregon and Washington State Parks provide examples of preservation challenges and recommended treatments. | |
