2 pm - HVHS Annual Membership Meeting with Election of Officers and Trustees
The public is welcome to attend. Members will vote on HVHS business.
3 pm - Historic Preservation Program - “Dendrochronology Demystified”
The HVHS is honored to have Michael Cuba talk to you about dendrochronology – the science or technique of dating events, environmental change, and archaeological artifacts by using the characteristic patterns of annual growth rings in timber and tree trunks.
While this science can offer conclusive felling dates for timbers used in building, interpretation and context for this information relies on both documentary and physical evidence. Michael will use examples of recent reconstruction projects of the Dominy House, in East Hampton, NY, and the reconstruction of one of the trusses from the Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral that was lost in a fire in 2019, to underscore the importance of documentation in preservation work.
Michael is the founder of Transom Historic Preservation Consulting, a firm that specializes in the documentation and analysis of historic timber framed structures. Services include historic research and documentation, dendrochronology coring, condition reports and comprehensive conservation planning.
