Abstract:
This research is intended to establish the foundation for further
research in Historic Preservation. My interest in Historic Preservation
has begun to include the notion that the respect for and preservation of
artifacts is only the easy part of the preservationist's (or architects)
endeavor - the difficult part is becoming aware of, understanding and
protecting those ways of life and values which the artifact symbolizes.
This research will focus on the means available to enable that
understanding and protection.
