Our featured on-demand course of the week is FREE! It's "Finding New Sources of Funding in Challenging Times: An Introduction." An investigation of any grants database using the search terms “historic preservation” or “cultural resources” will yield minimal results. During times of economic hardship, and the resulting narrowing of priorities for funders, results may be downright nonexistent. Learn how to evaluate a cultural resource project for its value in serving broader community needs. Review traditional funding types vs. alternative sources that can be redirected to meet project goals. Consider new partnerships that can expand the universe of support. #historicpreservation #continuingeducation #learn #learning #course

Grant alert for our Virginia followers! #historicpreservation #grant #grantopportunity #funding #opportunity
The Virginia Museum of History & Culture's (VMHC) Commonwealth History Fund is accepting applications for the current grant cycle from now until September 30! Each year, the VMHC, in partnership with DHR, awards grants to history organizations and projects throughout Virginia. Key selection criteria to be considered for a Commonwealth History Fund grant include the significance of the project or resource, its impact on its community and the Commonwealth, the focus on historically underrepresented topics and communities, the need for funding, and the project's urgency. As part of the VMHC's 250th Initiative, grant applications related to the commemoration of America's semiquincentennial will be given special consideration.

Our featured on-demand course of the week is "Corridor Development: Impacts on Cultural and Natural Resources." Corridor development projects for construction of transportation, transmission lines, and pipelines may significantly affect cultural and natural resources. In this course, participants review the definition of corridors and identify laws and regulations that may apply to the proposed project. Understand the range of participants involved in the process—from project proponents and consultants, to government agencies and affected communities. Consider timing and planning, including comprehensive resource identification and effective communication practices. Corridor projects benefit from decisions that provide an inclusive analysis of effects and minimize resource disturbance. #historicpreservation #corridor #naturalresources #development

Advocacy alert for Richmonders! Learn more about protecting the city's historic building stock and the Cultural Heritage Stewardship Plan below. #historicpreservation #advocacy #save #alert
Where do buildings go when they die? The properties in orange on this map of downtown Richmond are all either vacant/distressed or have announced plans for replacement/demolition. That’s a lot to lose! Not all of these buildings have historical/architectural value, but collectively they represent a potentially catastrophic loss to our once vibrant downtown—beautiful, usable structures replaced by costly new construction, or worse, NOT replaced—leaving a gravel pit or surface parking in its wake. We are currently advocating for a Demolition Review Ordinance as part of the Cultural Heritage Stewardship Plan— a “Stop, Look, and Listen” process, to make sure the community has a chance to weigh in before something irreplaceable is lost. A Demo Review might also mandate that nothing be demolished without a replacement project already designed, funded, and approved, preventing the loss of life, people, jobs, and prosperity in the heart of our City. Visit our website to learn more about the CHSP and other advocacy. #RVA #Preservation #PreservationMatters #RVAnews

Our continuing education course of the week is "Historic Wood Windows: A Primer." Historic wood windows are valuable character-defining features of a building, worth retaining for architectural and environmental reasons. Examine the history and nomenclature of sash and casement windows. Learn about the evolution of historic designs and construction methods. Review endemic problems that lead to deterioration. Explore possible maintenance and repair techniques to extend sustainable service life. Consider the benefits for retaining, rather than replacing, historic wood windows. #historicpreservation #windows #construction #wood #history
