The “Women in Preservation” virtual speaker series features women from a variety of backgrounds who are working to save historic places in Arkansas and across the country. All programs are free, thanks to generous support from DEMX Architecture, and usually take place on the second Tuesday of the month at 3:30 PM. The series runs from February through November.
Join us on Tuesday, July 23 at 3:30 PM for a talk by Amanda Edwards, lead architectural conservator and associate principal at MTFA Design + Preservation in Arlington, Virginia.
Amanda’s experience includes historic material research and condition assessments for the preparation of condition assessments, treatment plans, historic structure reports (HSR), and construction documents. This range of skills includes mortar analysis, paint analysis, masonry cleaning and stabilization, materials testing, and building surveys. Amanda is a Professional Associate with the American Institute for Conservation (AIC). Her extraordinary effort and passion for conservation has been recognized with multiple awards on projects such as the historic Folger Shakespeare Library, Cannon House Office Building, and the Cosmos Club in Washington, DC.
