HISTORICAL PRESERVATION
Preservation of existing historical features, artifacts and structural footprints are essential in any historical preservation and restoration project. That is why we recommend incorporating this as a prelude into any major historical preservation project we undertake.
We have several professional archeologists on our team of associates who can not only perform vital archeological surveys but write clear and concise reports of their findings to use as valuable tools in conducting preservation efforts.
The work of archeologists is also vital for authentication and site planning efforts including any attempts to reconstruct on site land and structural features long since removed or destroyed. This data is often required by federal and foundation grants.
Our associates are also active in modern construction projects including highways and sewers where funding regulations require archeological reports. Survey and documentation are important to preservation and archaeology and our use of geographic Information Systems (GIS) makes this research and fieldwork efficient and precise.
Preserving your historical site is just the first step. To make it successful, you need to bring in visitors and promote public interest. We can help you develop your historic places into living history sites, focal points for special events and sources of community pride. To accomplish this, Jim Bennett & Associates works closely with each client to develop a plan tailored to your unique location. This may include media campaigns, advertising, public events, book signings and site-appropriate signage.
