How are SAH study tour sites selected?
Study tour locations are proposed by the SAH Second Vice President who works in consultation with the Study Tour Committee and the SAH staff. Members may propose locations for consideration. Typically, SAH organizes three domestic and one foreign study tours each year. Locations are selected for their significance to the history of the built environment. Duration for domestic study tours is typically 4-5 days; foreign study tours typically last for ten days. Locations must therefore offer a rich enough selection of sites to sustain tour participants’ interest for that length of time.
