EXPERIENCE

Ms. Muir has considerable experience in the field of historic preservation including historic and archival research, field measuring and documentation, paint investigation and analysis, and preparation of restoration guidelines in fitting with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards. Prior to returning to the New York City in 2011, Ms. Muir spent three years working in the field of Historic Preservation. Ms. Muir has worked on numerous preservation projects including historic structure reports, planning studies, campus heritage preservation plans, conditions surveys, and National and State Register nominations for projects both local and nationwide.

While at Columbia University, Ms. Muir concentrated on materials conservation science. The focus of her master’s thesis was the study of pinning materials for the repair of marble statuary. Research was conducted in conjunction with the Sherman Fairchild Center for Objects Conservation at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As an undergraduate student, Ms. Muir performed volunteer research at the New York State Office of Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation’s Peebles Island Resource Center looking into the feasibility of laser cleaning of interior stencil work at Olana State Historic Site.
