Historic Preservation Officer
Save
Historic preservation officers work with local organizations, individuals, and institutions to protect and restore historic places. They can work in the public sector, such as for local governments, or in the private sector, such as for environmental and architectural firms. They must have a strong understanding of history, architecture, and preservation techniques.
Education and Training
Most historic preservation officers have a bachelor's degree in historic preservation, history, architecture, or a related field. They may also have a master's degree in historic preservation or a related field, although this is not typically required.
In addition to their formal education, historic preservation officers may also gain experience through internships or volunteer work with historic preservation organizations.
