Want to get some hands-on building preservation skills? Apply for the Pacific Northwest Preservation Field School
*The Oregon Heritage Preservation Training Scholarship has funded applicants in the past to attend this trainings. Applications for the scholarship are due June. 7. Find our more here<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/FINASST/Pages/Scholarships.aspx>.
Where and Why:
The Pacific Northwest Preservation Field School (PNWFS) has been teaching hands-on preservation skills at historic sites throughout Oregon, Idaho, and Washington for 25 years. This year, the PNWFS will be held at the historic Youth Camp at Silver Falls State Park. Beginning in 1935, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) completed several projects throughout the 9,000-acre state park including boundary surveys, trails, parking areas, and building and shelter construction. In 1938, the National Park Service oversaw the CCC's construction of a new Recreation Demonstration Area at Silver Falls State Park, which is now known as the Silver Falls Youth Camp.
During three one-week sessions in September 2019, field school participants will assist with the rehabilitation of several historic camp buildings. Projects will include masonry repair, log work, window rehabilitation, roof repairs, condition assessments, cultural landscape investigations, and specialized historic building maintenance. Local professionals will provide evening lectures on the history, theory, and practice of cultural resource management and historic preservation. Participants live, learn, and work at the site throughout the session. All participants will receive a Certificate of Completion confirming their basic knowledge of historic preservation theory and practice.
When and What:
* Session 1: Specialized Preservation Maintenance, September 3 - 6: During our first Field School session, students will recondition and repair historic woodwork, rehabilitate masonry elements and windows, and conduct condition assessments at the Youth Camp. This four-day session is ideal for facilities and maintenance managers working in National Forests, State Parks, National Parks, or anyone working in the field of historic structure maintenance and rehabilitation.
* Session 2: Materials Intensive: Wood, September 8-13: Our second session will focus on the most common material at the Youth Camp: wood. Topics include wood science and pathology, window frame rehabilitation, shingle work, cleaning agents, log felling and replacement, and more. This one-week session is ideal for participants who want to increase their knowledge of preservation practices for wood elements in historic buildings and those interested in wood rehabilitation and conservation.
* Session 3: Preservation Primer, September 15-20: The final week of Field School will offer an introduction to historic preservation and preservation trades. Topics include the history and theory of preservation, cultural resource management basics, historic building materials, best preservation practices, cultural landscape assessments, and more. This one-week session is ideal for those who are new to the field and all incoming students to the University of Oregon's Historic Preservation program.
Who:
The Pacific Northwest Preservation Field School is sponsored by the University of Oregon, the National Park Service, the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office, the Washington Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, Washington State Parks, and the Idaho State Historical Society.
Instructors for the Field School include professional preservationists from the National Park Service and private companies working in preservation. Field School lectures and educational sessions are led by instructors from the University of Oregon and cultural resource management professionals from both the public and private sector.
Current Pacific Northwest Preservation Field School Staff includes Chad Randl, Interim Department Head of the University of Oregon Historic Preservation Program and Faculty Advisor to the Field School, Allison Geary, Field School Coordinator, and Kate Kornder, Graduate Employee for the Field School.

31 way to celebrate National Historic Preservation Month
The National Trust for Historic Preservation put together a list of "31 Ways to Celebrate Preservation Month." A couple of our favorites on the list include:
* Eat somewhere new in someplace old (perhaps in a town that is the Oregon Main Street Network<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/SHPO/docs/OMS%20Tier%20List%20Feb%202019.pdf>?)
* Explore a historic place (check out the Oregon Historic Sites Database<http://heritagedata.prd.state.or.us/historic/> to find a place near you!)
* Encourage the next generation (take the kiddos out for a history themed adventure!)
* Plan a Road Trip! (Travel Oregon<https://traveloregon.com/things-to-do/culture-history/> has some good itineraries that highlight some of Oregon's awesome heritage)
So if you are looking for something to do, be sure to check it out<https://savingplaces.org/stories/31-ways-to-celebrate-preservation-month#.XNXUAHdFzct>!
*********************************
The Annual Archaeology Roadshow will be hosted in three locations across the state this year
Celebrate the archaeology of the Pacific Northwest at the 8th annual Portland Archaeology Roadshow, to be held on Saturday, June 1st from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the plaza at Hoffman Hall, Portland State University, 1833 SW 11th Ave., Portland, Ore. The event is free and open to the public. One week later, on June 8th, the Archaeology Roadshow will host its 1st annual event in Bend Oregon at the Deschutes Historical Museum. Later in June, on Saturday the 29th, Harney County will host it's 3rd annual event at Hines City Park, Hines OR. This year's theme is "The Archaeology of Daily Life.'
The open-air event seeks to introduce the public to local heritage and the science of archaeology in a fun, hands-on way, while instilling a sense of stewardship for cultural resources.
The event features presentations and activities hosted by archaeologists and community members with local and traditional knowledge from universities, federal and state agencies, tribes, archaeology companies, nonprofit organizations and for the past 3 years, an exhibit hosted by a local 3rd grade class. The Cottonwood School has become a fixture at the Archaeology Roadshow and the study of archaeology has worked its way into their curriculum: "The Roadshow is the highlight of the year for our students. The opportunity to share their knowledge with the public as part of a community of experts makes their learning so much more relevant and authentic. Plus, they love getting to visit all the exhibits!" says Susan Hathaway, 3rd grade teacher at the Cottonwood School of Civics and Science.
Other exhibits and activities include hands on tool making demonstrations, ancient spear throwing techniques, and samples of historic local beer.
In addition to the exhibits and activities, a panel of experts in archaeology and geology will be on hand to identify the personal artifacts visitors bring. Stone, bone, woven, plant and historical items are welcome. Please do not bring live plants or animals. No appraisals will be given; the Archaeology Roadshow does not authenticate or value items for sale.
Over 1200 people attended last year's Roadshow, organized by Portland State University's Anthropology Department, with help from over 100 volunteers, students and community partners.
In addition to the main event, June 1st, the PSU Anthropology Department and the Archaeology Roadshow are hosting a kick off lecture, May 31st, by Chelsea Rose of Southern Oregon University, 7:00pm at Hoffman Hall, PSU Campus.

Brookings-Harbor Azalea Festival designated an Oregon Heritage Tradition
The Brookings-Harbor Azalea Festival marks its upcoming 80th year with an Oregon Heritage Tradition designation by the Oregon Heritage Commission.
Other Oregon Heritage Traditions include the Oregon State Fair, Medford's Pear Blossom Festival, the Pendleton Round-Up, and the Woodburn Fiesta Mexicana.
"The designation recognizes those traditions that have helped define the character of the state," said Todd Kepple, the commission's chair. "The Azalea Festival celebrates the beauty of Oregon's south coast."
The Azalea Festival began in 1939 when the Chamber of Commerce formed and Azalea Park was dedicated. The story is that Oregon State Parks superintendent Samuel Boardman was to come to Brookings to dedicate the park, so the community decided there should be a big celebration to go with it. The annual Azalea Festival was born. It ran for a few years, until invasion by Japanese forces seemed possible in late 1941. Travel was restricted, and the festival was suspended until World War II came to an end. It started up again after the War and has run every year since.
Today the vision of the Azalea Festival and Parade is to celebrate community and bring everyone together to kick off summer tourist season. An estimated 150+ volunteers put time into the festival, and various civic, cultural, political, and religious groups come together to contribute to the all-volunteer run event. The public can participate in a variety of activities including a parade, art show, antique car show, disc golf tournament, library book sale, veteran memorials, and Rock the Chetco concert.
As the name of the festival indicates, azaleas are a central focus, with an estimated 3,000 azalea plants in the area. Expert gardeners assert that some of the ancient native azaleas, rhododendron occidental, have been alive for 150-400 years.
The Brookings-Harbor Azalea Festival will be held May 24- May 26. More information can be found at: https://brookingsharborchamber.com/
An Oregon Heritage Tradition must have been in continuous operation for more than 50 years, demonstrate a public profile and reputation that distinguishes it from more routine events, and add to the livability and identity of the state. A list of Tradition designations is available at http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/OHC/pages/oht.aspx .
The Oregon Heritage Commission coordinates efforts to solve statewide heritage issues through grants, education, and advocacy, and also promotes heritage tourism efforts.
