It is intended both for those actively engaged in maintenance and for those responsible for the management of the resources.The instructor, David Arbogast, is an architectural conservator with over thirty years of experience in the field. He brings to the course a wealth of experience and knowledge both from the professional and from the occupational maintenance of historic resources.
