Summer 2024: Intangible Heritage at Risk
June 10 - August 9, 2024
The Preservation Institute Nantucket (PIN) is a summer program run by the University of Florida’s Historic Preservation program. PIN introduces students to methodologies of cultural heritage conservation/preservation through research, documentation, community engagement and stewardship of communities of global significance.
The Island of Nantucket, a National Historic Landmark, illustrates the multitude of challenges threatening many historic communities, including sea level rise and regular flooding, balancing tourism with heritage, loss of historic materials, and unexplored cultural narratives. PIN students are involved in and exposed to projects that reflect the multi-disciplinary nature of historic preservation. Students learn from PIN faculty, practicing architects, preservationists, conservators, urban planners, real estate developers, urban designers, lawyers, and advocates through work with existing buildings, materials, documentation, archival research, site surveys, stakeholder interviews, and public presentations.
