It is a three week course which will take place July 6 - 27, 1996, in Bristol. The course is designed for students and professionals in Historic Preservation, Architecture, Urban Geography, Urban History, Archaeology, Urban Planning, and Material Culture. It will focus on current philosophies in Britain regarding preservation, methodologies, and legislation, and will identify and consider future trends. The course will also examine the role played by interpretive documentation and evaluate the various approaches that can be used to document individual historic buildings, urban areas and historic landscapes. Throughout the school, emphasis will be placed on site visits and practical exercises. The Bristol region offers many locations well suited as case studies, including the commercial city and historic port of Bristol, the Georgian city of Bath, the medieval city and cathedral of Wells, and the archaeological sites of Stonehenge and Avebury. The course fees are 900 pounds sterling (roughly 1400 US dollars), which includes accommodation, tuition and field trips. Meals and travel to Bristol are not included in the fees. For those participants who are currently enroled on undergraduate or postgraduate programmes of study, three hours of credit will be awarded by the University of the West of England, which can then be transferred to their own institution.
