Preservation Tech Notes provide innovative solutions to specific problems in preserving cultural resources--buildings, structures, and objects. Tech Notes are intended for practitioners in the preservation field, including architects, contractors, and maintenance personnel, as well as for owners and developers seeking the preservation tax investment credit for rehabilitation.

You may order up to 3 Tech Notes free of charge by going to Technical Preservation Services within the web site "HPS Free Bookshelf". Although there is no subscription list for this series, Tech Notes occasionally appear as inserts in the National Park Service's CRM magazine: http://www2.cr.nps.gov/tps/technotes/tnhome.htm (site includes a few tech notes, including Preserving Historic Corridor Doors and Glazing in High-Rise Buildings)

Preservation Briefs assist owners and developers of historic buildings in recognizing and resolving common preservation and repair problems prior to work. The briefs are especially useful to preservation tax incentive program applicants because they recommend those methods and approaches for rehabilitating historic buildings that are consistent with their historic character. In addition to purchasing the printed Briefs from the GPO Bookstore (http://bookstore.gpo.gov/), please don't miss the online illustrated Preservation Briefs.
