ONGOING RESEARCH AND PUBLICATION
Articles (submitted or in progress)

“The Contractors of Chartres Revisited”
The conclusions drawn by John James in his publication of “The Contractors of Chartres” nearly thirty years ago — that the building was constructed in horizontal layers by itinerant teams of masons — drew immediate criticism, particularly of his method. This study reaffirms the validity of James’ method, but examines a more palpable art historical interpretation of what this evidence may suggest. Submitted to the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians.

“The Thirteenth-century Glass at Saint-Martin-aux-Bois (Oise)”
A substantial portion of the original grisaille glass of the apse at Saint-Martin-aux-Bois remains, as well as a small donor panel of colored glass. A new interpretation of the subject matter of this panel, and its connection to one of the workshops responsible for the glazing of the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris, is advanced in this paper. 

Books (in progress)
“Ancient Cultures of the Southwest: A Sourcebook for Artifacts and Pottery Types”
The Logan Museum of Anthropology at Beloit College is rich in artifacts from the prehistoric Southwest, largely due to excavations undertaken in the 1930s at two sites. Subsequent museum exchanges yielded a thorough sampling of pottery from all parts of the Southwest. This book will briefly introduce Hohokam, Mogollon and Anasazi culture, reassess the Logan Museum excavations and catalog the artifacts in the collections by region and style.

“Light is Truth: The Augustinian Abbey of Saint-Martin-aux-Bois”
A new historical method based on the process of researching a site and its documentation will be used to present this monograph, intended to expand the dissertation by encompassing the entire abbey complex and its history.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT - TECHNOLOGY
Much of my recent professional development has been in the area of Internet technology, in particular tools for teaching the history of art. This has taken two forms, image resources for art history and image-based publication of museum collections. The following list provides links to various projects I have developed.

ImageSearch – An Image Resource for Support of Instruction (ongoing)
facstaff.uww.edu/henigec/imagesearch
About 8000 images of art and architecture for student use
 
Museums of Beloit College
www.beloit.edu/~museum
Several thousand artifacts can be viewed online. Also includes virtual exhibitions titled “Before History” (Prehistoric Culture in Europe), “Ancient Cultures of the Southwest” and “The Woodland and Mississippian Traditions” (both accessible from www.beloit.edu/~museum/logan/collections/online)
 
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT – MUSEUM AND GALLERY
Logan Museum of Anthropology, Beloit College, Beloit, Wisconsin
1998 to present
Ongoing research and development of web-based exhibitions, including digital photography of museum artifacts. Familiarity with museum conservation issues. Areas of concentration to date include Prehistoric Europe, Ancient Cultures of the Southwest and the Woodland and Mississippian Traditions. Continuing research on three Logan Museum excavations in the Southwest for future publication.

Wriston Art Center, Lawrence University, Appleton, Wisconsin

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT – ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE
Experience in the practice of architecture has shaped my view of the history of architecture, as I view monuments from the point of view of the builder and designer as well as the historian.
Department of Planning and Construction
University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1985-1991
Initially interned as a drafter before becoming an architectural designer. Responsibilities included design, working drawings, site supervision.
Ed Linville Designs, Madison, Wisconsin, 1988-1990
