Historic Resources Committee

The Conservation Guest Scholars Program at Getty provides opportunities for architecture and historic preservation professionals to pursue research on topics that contribute to the advancement of practice in the architectural conservation field. The Program is intended for established scholars, or individuals who have attained distinction in their fields.

Recipients will be in residence at the Getty Conservation Institute in Los Angeles for either three or six months, where they pursue their own projects free from work-related obligations, make use of research collections at the Getty Center and Getty Villa, and participate with other Getty scholars, fellows, and interns in the intellectual life of Getty.  Applications are welcome from researchers and practitioners of all nationalities working in conservation, historic preservation, heritage science, heritage studies, and related fields. Applicants should have at least seven years of professional experience and should have an established record of publications and other contributions to the field. Proposals for postdoctoral research or research that contributes to a PhD or other academic degree will not be considered.

This is such a terrific opportunity!  Thank you for posting it here, Chandler.  I really enjoyed taking part in the Getty Conserving Modern Architecture course in 2021 and as a result I have a much deeper appreciation for the work of architectural conservation scholars.  This research is becoming increasingly and globally important, and I hope you will receive outstanding proposals from heritage practitioners.  

I am also grateful to you, Jean Caroon and Eric Corey Freed for helping me articulate the value of this area of research for public agencies and the architects who work for them, especially in the higher education sector.  Members of the Historic Resources community might benefit from viewing the A'23 conference presentation that the Public Architects committee sponsored here: ScholarWorks@UMass Amherst - UMassBRUT Community: Taming the Brut: Education, Conservation and Advocacy
