Description
The Historic Documentation course at University of Louisiana at Lafayette provides students an opportunity to learn in-depth about the historic buildings of Louisiana and engage its history through recording historic structures. Each year the Louisiana Division of Historic Preservation provides grant funding to have teams of students complete field work and measured documentation for the Historic American Building Survey, a program of the National Park Service. Documentation the students complete is archived in the Library of Congress. This presentation will present the process students used to perform the documentation and an overview of buildings that students have documented.
