Historic Preservation Program Collection
Scope and Contents
This collection consists of research papers, projects, reports, and class notes created by students in historic preservation courses. Included are both individual and group projects focused on history of individual people, properties, and regions of Cape Girardeau and Southeast Missouri. These include architectural surveys, oral histories, building reports, cemetery inventories, and internship summaries, as well as supplemental materials given to them by their professors. Papers from other courses taken by historic preservation students are also included, many of which focus on local or state history. Additionally, this collection contains administrative records and ephemera from both the Historic Preservation Association and the Historic Preservation Alumni Association. The collection consists of five series: Historic Preservation Materials, Non-Historic Preservation Materials, Historic Preservation Association, Historic Preservation Alumni Association, and Restricted Projects.

Biographical / Historical
Southeast Missouri State University’s Department of History began offering a bachelor of science degree in historic preservation in 1980, one of less than ten universities nationwide offering an undergraduate degree in the field accredited by the National Council for Preservation Education. The program caters to students pursuing careers in preservation of the built environment, historic site administration, archives, or museum management. The curriculum combines classroom learning with hands-on practice and field experience in history, research methods, architectural history, preservation, historic site administration, museum studies, and archival studies. Students complete internships with museums, sites, and historical agencies around the nation.
Students can gain additional experience through the Historic Preservation Association. The student organization hosts workshops, speakers, and demonstrations relevant to the various fields of historic preservation. Every spring semester, the association hosts a banquet which brings students, alumni, and both current and former faculty together. The program also has the first program-specific alumni association of Southeast Missouri State University, which occasionally hosts events for students and alumni.
