National Park Service Preservation Briefs

[Mick_VT]

From the site:

reservation 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.

Or in other words, how to preserve stuff without screwing it up in some way

That is a great resource. I know I'll be using it.

What an amazing collection of information. Thanks for sharing this Mick

It will be an invaluable resource as we begin the exploration and restoration of our home. Perfect timing.

I have a whole stack of these (former NPS...maybe someday again if funding turns around ) and I love them. Fantastic references.
