Call for Presentations

"The Use of Substitute Materials on Historic Preservation Projects"
APTNE Annual Symposium
February 2011

The Association for Preservation Technology Northeast Chapter is
sending out a call for presentations for the February 4, 2011 Annual
Symposium to be held in Boston, Massachusetts. The topic that
presentations are to address is The Use of Substitute Materials for
Historic Preservation Projects. The Symposium would like to explore
the decisions that are made about when to use substitute materials
and how well or how poorly the use of substitute materials is
affecting historic fabric. Also, is the use of substitute materials
allowing us to avoid making difficult decisions about the long term
maintenance and sustainability of historic sites.

Topics that we would like to see addressed:

    What effect does the use of substitute materials have on
    authenticity, performance or even aesthetics.

    New material and techniques for architectural preservation

    New and rediscovered materials for architectural preservation

    When the use of a substitute material has caused performance
    problems and why.

    Substituting materials because of 'sustainability' or 'green"
    issues and why this decision was made.

    How are decisions made about using substitute materials?

All presentations that discuss case studies should address one of
the topics and the presenters are encouraged to demonstrate how the
case study contributes to the field by providing in-depth analysis
of what was learned in the course of the study or project.
Presentations are to be 20 minutes in length.

Abstracts should be 250 to 300 words and must include the title, the
name of the speaker or speakers, the address of the speaker and any
institution they are representing, email address of the speaker and
the speaker's resume. Abstracts will not be accepted without the
speaker's resume and contact information.

topic.

Abstracts are due October 30, 2010 and should be sent to Mary
Jablonski <mjablonski<-at->jbconservation<.>com>

    **** Moderator's comments: Given how late this item was
    submitted, one must presume they expect to receive abstracts
    after the deadline
