Research Towards a Future:


"The time to understand a subject whole is when it's changing. 
Understanding is easier then because everything -- even the deep
premise structure -- is up for grabs." (Brand, 1988)


The preservation community needs to become "active" rather than
"reactive" in assimilating new techniques and technologies for
cultural resource management.  The readiness to take advantage of
emerging technologies will be essential to ensuring the integrity
of this nation's cultural heritage.  In a technical climate of
unpredictable, but relentless change, the most effective strategy
arises from a fundamental understanding of programmatic
responsibilities and technological needs to ensure a balanced
progression into the future.
