[Hist_Pres] VAF seeks award nominations

[David Bogan]

The Vernacular Architecture Forum seeks nominations for the Paul E.
Buchanan Award.  Instituted in 1993, this award recognizes contributions
to the study and preservation of vernacular architecture and the
cultural landscape that did not take the form of books or published
work.    This so-called "gray literature" includes the well-researched
and written reports, projects, plans, studies, National Register
nominations, and exhibits that scholars produce each year but receive
little commendation.  Named for Paul E. Buchanan who worked for over
thirty years as Director of Architectural Research at Colonial
Williamsburg Foundation, this award recognizes excellence in
architectural fieldwork and honors the valuable but often unacknowledged
work that most VAF members and professional associates perform.
Projects completed in the last two years are eligible for consideration
and may include, but are not limited to:
 
  *   Architectural Recording Projects (including HABS/HAER/HALS)
  *   Historic Structures Reports
  *   Cultural Resource Surveys
  *   Historic Designation Studies (including National Register and
National Historic Landmark)
  *   Preservation Plans
  *   Restoration Projects
  *   Furnishing Plans and Installations
  *   Exhibits and Other Temporary Installations
  *   Permanent Museum Exhibits
  *   Visual Arts Presentations (e.g. drawing, painting, photography,
3-D media)
  *   Film and Video Presentations
  *   Computer Applications and Modeling
  *   Educational and Interpretive Programs
  *   Symposia, Conferences, and Public Events
 
The 2011 Deadline for
applications<http://www.vernaculararchitectureforum.org/awards/Buchanan% 
20Award%20Application%20Form.doc> is January 15. The Award will be
announced at the annual conference.
