A department of The National Park Service, Technical Preservation Services has been assisting homeowners and industry people for over 30 years. They publish books, pamphlets and videos on preservation and rehabilitation of historic buildings.

And of course, there’s the website. It’s just chock full of information. They have preservation briefs on how to repair historic windows, slate roof tile, maintenance of cast iron, oh, you name it!

The site includes a guide to the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program for income producing properties.

There’s also a fun interactive online education program which features a couple of quizzes. I love quizzes.
