Williamsburg Day Trip

A few weekends ago, two full vans of students had the opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at Colonial Williamsburg’s conservation labs, buildings closed to the public, and storage facilities. Matt Webster, a HISP program alumnus, is now the director of architectural resources for Colonial Williamsburg and was kind enough to show students around while telling them all about projects he’s encountered and what each department within the labs does on a daily basis. It was a beautiful day and getting to see conservation of everything from small children’s toys to whole buildings was fantastic. Thanks to CHP for funding the trip, Professor Sanford and Julie Coates for organizing it, and especially Matt Webster for a wonderful day!
