Service's (NPS) 75th Anniversary Symposium held last year at Vail, Colorado recommended under the strategic objective dealing with resource stewardship and protection that: "The National Park Service should reinforce its role as a world leader in the national park movement through. actions to facilitate the exchange of information. and protection of critical world resources." Further, one of the steps that the working group on park use and enjoyment called for to implement this recommendation is: "The NPS should exchange with interested parties around the world, information, methods and technology to conserve, interpret, and manage protected areas. The agency should implement a strategy that relates the results of international cooperation to the domestic mission of the NPS and its allied organizations." In support of this recommendation, the NPS park historic architecture program held a joint "Workshop in Historic Structures " with the Canadian Parks Service (CPS) and Public Works Canada (PWC) at Waterton/Glacier International Peace Park, June 15-18,1992. The purpose of the workshop was to improve the exchange of technical information and experiences between the Service's historic preservation professionals and those from the Canadian Parks Service and Public Works Canada and thereby to provide improved stewardship of the historic structures in the U.S. national park system and the Canadian park system. This issue of the CRM was produced to share the papers prepared for the workshop with a larger audience. Neither the workshop, nor this issue of CRM would have been possible without the support of many individuals. Special thanks go to our colleagues from Canada, especially
