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

"First week in Alabama,... lots of interesting site and historical visits acclimatizing with the heritage and history of Alabama, more precisely Selma to Montgomery and the Civil Right Movement.
We resumed at the Montgomery Interpretive Center, visited the Selma Interpretive Center currently undergoing some refurbishing and expansion work, we also visited the state department of archives and museum, The Legacy Museum, we went on the 54miles from Selma to Montgomery where the march occurred, Brown Chapel AME, where several meetings leading up to the march where held and the eventual march started from, the Edmund Pettus bridge, where bloody Sunday happened, The National Memorial for Peace and Justice and lots more. Looking forward to more engagements in the coming week." ... See MoreSee Less
