Preservation Action Center
From Repairing Your Historic Windows
So you have a historic building – town hall, church, school, home – and you want to preserve it. Where do you begin? How do you make sure your project is successful over the long haul? Need alternative use ideas or funding? We have developed these resource guides to help you through the process!
Basic preservation education is a core part of our organization's mission and it is needed on a constant basis. By using these resources, reading articles, following links or watching videos, we hope to grow an understanding and appreciation for historic preservation as well as its benefits, uses and roles within our communities. In the coming months, we will add more guides as trends and issues emerge in the field. As they do, these guides will be updated with critical educational resources and tools for all. We encourage your feedback on what educational resources or topics are needed most.
