Fall Virtual Workshops from the Massachusetts Historical Commission

The MHC will host four virtual workshops this fall. See below for descriptions, and register on the MHC's website<https://www.sec.state.ma.us/divisions/mhc/programs/workshops.htm>.

MHC's Survey & Planning Grant Program, Monday, September 9, 1 pm
The MHC's Survey & Planning Grant program offers matching grants for communities and non-profits to undertake historic preservation documentation and planning projects. Most frequent are historic resources survey projects, but other projects include community-wide historic preservation plans, survey plans, design guidelines, and National Register of Historic Places nominations. Learn more about the program and what goes in to a successful application.

The Basics of Online Research for Historic Buildings, Friday, October 18, 10 am
The Internet provides a wide variety of resources to consult when researching an historic building. Learn more about the various sources and how to pull them together to develop a history of buildings in your community.

Determining Historic and Architectural Significance, Tuesday, November 19, 10 am
One of the most basic actions of local historic preservation work is determining what historic resources in a community are significant for their history or architecture. This process is written into many regulations and programs, from local demolition delay review up to the National Register of Historic Places. This workshop will review how to determine historic and architectural significance for historic resources, which can support the prioritization of local preservationists' efforts and their regulatory work.

Best Practices for Developing a Strong Local Preservation Program, Monday, December 9, 1 pm
There are many tools in the local preservationist's toolbox that can be used to develop a local preservation program. A robust local commission, preservation planning, and regulatory tools are all important to have. In this workshop we'll review how all of these pieces work together and how local commissions can develop a strong, proactive local preservation program.
