Katherine Chalmers, International Exchange Program intern, updates us on what she and Janet Adesina, have been up to in Alabama working on the Selma to Montgomery National Historical Trail:
The past two weeks in Alabama have been busy! We got started on our main project, the preparation of the Long Range Interpretive Plan for the trail, which will guide the team in the future implementation of interpretive services across the site. Between analysing documents and data, Janet and I had the chance to visit several important civil rights sites including the Rosa Parks Museum and the Freedom Riders museum, as well as the Tuskegee Airman and Tuskegee Institute where we toured the house of Booker T Washington. We have also been able to help the park rangers with some of their duties including hosting activities for summer camp kids and helping with the memorial event and panel discussion in honour of civil rights activist Reverent Richard Boone! ...

Brandy Nguyen, intern with @ElementAdvisory in Perth, Western Australia, wrote in about his first 2 weeks in Australia:
"It's no surprise that heritage here looks a little different than what I'm used to in the US. Only two weeks in, and I've already laid hands on Jarrah wood floors, mud plaster, and honeycomb limestone. I've participated in site visits, conditions assessment reports, materials testing, and pre-bid meetings for four different buildings in the span of just 10 days... with a few cute animals spotted along the way!
With Element, heritage is defined far beyond the building's existing fabric. Aboriginal cultural heritage, natural heritage, scientific heritage—both tangible and intangible—all come together to inform how historic buildings are treated. It is a completely different way of thinking. I'm excited to share what I've learned at the end of the summer.
Over the next few weeks, I will be researching the iconic South Fremantle Power Station for its adaptive reuse potential. Can't wait to see what's ahead!" ... See MoreSee Less
