"I came to New Mexico to learn more about architecture and
built heritage conservation, but I have got much more, that made
this summer the most memorable one I had in my life."

Zsofia Hlavathy worked
on several different projects during her internship. At the beginning,
she had the opportunity to participate in TICRAT (Taller Internacional de
Conservacion y Restauracion de Arquitectura de Tierra) and learned about all
aspects of adobe construction and conservation. She then worked for a
short time at Ruidosa, Texas, documenting an adobe church. Following
that project, she worked extensively on the stables at Fort Stanton near
Lincoln in the southern part of New Mexico. Fort Stanton had served as
a priamry fort for the "buffalo soldiers," but it also served as a
tuberculosis hospital, a prison for women, and now serves as a drug
rehabilitation center for men.

The US/ICOMOS International Intern Exchange Program is funded by a variety
sources. Each of the host organizations in the U.S. contributed funds
that cover a substantial portion of the costs for interns from overseas. Grants from private foundations and individual donors
supported the internships for U.S. preservationists traveling overseas, with
additional support from some of the overseas host organizations.
The 2006 overseas internships were supported by the Keepers Fund for Historic Preservation,
Marpat Foundation, Royal Oak Foundation, Samuel H. Kress
Foundation, and contributions from numerous
individuals. |
