The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation require that "deteriorated architectural features be repaired rather than replaced wherever possible. In the event that replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture, and other visual properties." This 1-hour interactive online course discusses the importance of maintaining historic character and illustrates how and when substitute materials may be used to match the appearance and general properties of the historic material without damaging the historic resource.

ATTN: This educational offering is recognized by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry as satisfying 1 hour of credit toward the required continuing education.
