Preservation Briefs

Preservation Briefs are guides created by the U.S. National Park Service to help people maintain, repair, and restore historic buildings and sites. They provide practical advice on various topics, such as how to address specific preservation challenges, use appropriate materials, and follow preservation standards. The briefs aim to protect the historical integrity of structures while ensuring they remain functional and accessible. They serve as valuable resources for homeowners, architects, and preservationists, promoting best practices in the conservation of our cultural heritage.
