Documenting Appalachia's Diverse Communities Through Historic Preservation
Date & Time: June 9, 2020 at 1 - 2 PM EDT
About the Webinar: Residents of Appalachia know that our diverse communities are rich in history. In this webinar, the next generation of preservationists and public historians will present their experiences researching, documenting, preserving, and interpreting the diverse “hidden histories” of the Mountain State. Historic buildings are important for more than their architecture; they also help us remember and communicate shared stories of our collective past. Join West Virginia University students for a discussion of two projects that reflect the importance of preserving the structures associated with this sort of social history: the survey of a historic working class neighborhood in Morgantown and thematic research on historic African American schools. These projects provide insight into the challenges and rewards of documenting the history of populations that are all too often overlooked – working class immigrant, ethnic, and racial communities.
Presenters: Dr. Jennifer Thornton, Jamie Billman, Jordan Riggs, Elizabeth Satterfield, and Adrienne Thompson (West Virginia University)

Rats Nests: A Hoard of Information
Date & Time: Jul 8, 2020 1:00-2:00 PM EDT
About the webinar: The term “rat” tends to conjure images of unwanted pests, nests of sticks and seeds, and a sense of modern-day revulsion. The reality, however, is that most of the historic buildings we cherish were home not only to humans – but also to a litany of what we would today consider vermin. That’s because the pockets between lath and plaster made an inviting space for rats to build their nests. Now, a century or so later, those nests have become valuable windows into the time period during which they were built.
Learn about the scholarship and methodology surrounding the collection, investigation, and interpretation of material culture excavated from rat’s nest middens. Several historic sites across the country have benefited from this rodent archaeology, and in many cases, the artifacts uncovered provide the only evidence of materiality for precise restoration. Using examples from two sites in Orange, Virginia, this session will explain the process from discovery to interpretation so that participants can implement these methods in their own preservation projects.
