Preserving Historic Places: Indiana's Statewide Preservation Conference
DHPA partners with Indiana University and Indiana Landmarks to host this annual statewide conference that serves as the official forum for preservation issues in Indiana. Session topics are chosen based on the host community. Speakers include both nationally known and local experts. The conference features plenary and concurrent sessions, keynote speakers, and tours of the host community’s preservation highlights.
The 2022 conference is September 27-30 in beautiful South Bend. During tours, workshops, and educational and field sessions, explore 21st century solutions for historic building materials, get tips on building research, bone up on new archaeological methodologies, and delve into our love/hate relationship with the bulldozer. Check back soon for a program, registration information, and more details.
Section 106/ Environmental Review Training
These sessions are focused on the "need to know" information for completing environmental reviews in Indiana. Do you want to learn what information to provide to get your review through the process quickly? How do you determine if a property is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places? Did you know Indiana has an online database that you can access from anywhere to do your research? The Division of Historic Preservation & Archaeology regularly hosts or co-hosts educational workshops, seminars, and conferences. These help people who are involved or interested in preservation or just want to learn and keep up-to-date with the latest findings, hot topics, state processes and forms, databases, and office programs.
The training is free and open to anyone who has an interest or role in the review process. Advanced registration is required.
