Italy Field School

The Historic Preservation Program regrets to announce the Italy Field School in Oira, Italy will not be offered in Summer 2009.

Do not despair!

The summer field school has simply relocated to the beautiful and historic Dalmatian Coast of the Republic of Croatia for Summer 2009. Please stay tuned for more information on the curriculum, accommodations, application deadlines, and other important information.

The Historic Preservation Program would like to extend a warm thanks to all of the students, faculty, and especially our hosts in Italy for making the last eight years such a memorable experience!

2005 Italy Field School

New! Croatia Summer Field School

August 15 through September 11, 2008

The Croatia Field School Website will be available shortly. Please check back soon!

The Croatia Summer Field School offers a unique look at the vernacular building culture of Croatia's Central Dalmatian Coast. Students explore 17th an 18th century villages while learning the history of the area, documenting and analyzing important structures and participating in a hands-on building project. Although this is the first field school at this location, previous international field schools have attracted a range of participants from practicing cultural resource professionals to graduate and undergraduate students. The Field School in Croatia adds an exiting international element to the UO's Historic Preservation Program and Pacific Northwest Field School.

Site Information: Drvenik Veli, Trogir and the Dalmatian Coast

The field school will take place on Drvenik Veli, a small island in the vicinity of Trogir, Croatia, that was first inhabited in the 16th century. Though many of its villages have been abandoned, the island retains numerous limestone architectural features and a well-preserved cultural landscape. The aim of the field school will be to prepare relevant documentation for the protection of those remaining elements that represent the cultural identity of the island. The nearby City of Trogir is itself a UNESCO World Heritage Site dating from Roman times, though much of its architectural expression evokes the medeival period, with winding streets and towering limestone facades. The field school is ideally situated in a heritage-rich region of the Dalmatian Coast and is surrounded by multiple World Heritage Sites, such as Diocletian's Palace in Split to the south, and the Cathedral of St. James in Sibenik to the north.
