Preservation Basics
Historic
preservation has many advantages, but most of all, it is simply a
matter of good sense. And becoming a preservationist doesn't
require learning lots of esoteric vocabulary, buying an old house,
or suffering through a boring lecture. Fun, everyday
activities, such as going to the movies and taking a walk, are great
ways to enjoy America's heritage and protect it at the same time.
Choosing An Appropriate Treatment
Preservation, Rehabilitation, Restoration, or Reconstruction
Rooted in over 120 years of preservation ethics in both Europe and
America, the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of
Historic Properties are common sense principles in non-technical
language.
Technical Preservation Services, National Park Service
For over 25 years, the TPS has helped homeowners, preservation
professionals, organizations, and government agencies by publishing
printed pamphlets and books, easy-to-read guidance on preserving,
rehabilitating and restoring historic buildings.
TPS Preservation Briefs
The first Preservation Brief was published in 1975. Since then,
over 40 more have been added to the series.
Preservation
Briefs provide guidance on preserving, rehabilitating, and restoring
historic buildings. These NPS Publications help historic building
owners recognize and resolve common problems prior to work. The
briefs are especially useful to Historic Preservation Tax Incentives
Program applicants because they recommend methods and approaches for
rehabilitating historic buildings that are consistent with their
historic character.
