During the Spring 2020 semester several students at the College of Charleston's Historic Preservation and Community Planning program participated in their Senior Seminar titled "What Is Your Heritage and the State of Its Preservation?" This was the fourth time this seminar topic had been taught, with previous sessions in 2014, 2016, and 2018. For this class each student had to conduct a lengthy in-depth research paper on the state of preservation of heritage sites, material objects, or traditions associated with their family's past. The assignment used genealogical research methods in an unconventional way by elevating the assessment of ancestors beyond typical names, dates, and generational succession; so commonly found on most family trees. The students had to ask profound questions to guide their inquiry, such as "Where (as in specific spot) did my ancestors come from?"; "What was life like for them?"; and "What cultural traditions were important for them?". In this way people, whether through a specific individual or a group, became connected and contextualized within time, place, and society. Moreover, the students had to utilize and synthesize the knowledge, skills, and experiences they acquired in classes from previous semesters. Essays contributed within this volume are by Mackenzie Turner, Jesse Q. Harris, Jackson Royall, Martha Stegall, Cara E. Quigley, and Rachel Pluznik. Barry L. Stiefel, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the Historic Preservation and Community Planning Program at the College of Charleston, where he enjoys collaborating on projects with students.
