This content analysis was based on the analysis of paper, book, and edited book publications that were self-defined as contributing to preservation scholarship. The four primary objectives were to: 1) identify the authors of this group; 2) define what a "scholarly" publication is-only these publications were allowed to form the corpus of "preservation scholarship"; 3) collect every single "scholarly" publication produced by these authors, and 4) perform a content analysis on this preservation scholarship, dividing it into salient categories and themes. In order to identify the authors of preservation scholarship, faculty were selected from National Council for Preservation Education (NCPE) member degree programs who were full-time and on the tenure-track or already tenured with a 50% or more teaching appointment in an historic preservation degree program (undergraduate or graduate). Program web sites, emails, and phone calls to departments were used to identify full-time, tenure-track and tenured faculty with a 50% or more teaching appointment to an historic preservation program. Where departments did not share details on the distribution of faculty teaching responsibilities, the relevant college or university course schedule listing was consulted to identify which courses each preservation faculty member taught across several semesters. Programs housed in institutions that do not use the tenure system, such as Boston Architectural College, Pratt, and Savannah College of Art and Design, were not included.
