Technical Assistance
The AHPP can provide technical assistance to individuals,
groups, developers, organizations, communities, and others involved in
or contemplating restoration, rehabilitation or renovation of historic
properties. The agency can also provide on-site visits, consultations,
explanations, brochures and related printed materials.
Online Articles
While there is much information to be found on the internet, not all of
it is accurate or appropriate to the goals of preservation. AHPP staff
members, with the assistance of interns from the Public History Program
at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, have compiled lists of
articles and websites we feel represent sound preservation practice.
Special thanks to Ms. Tamisha Cheatham for researching and assembling
the window article information.
Choose a topic below to see a list of online articles related to that topic. Lists
of articles regarding additional topics will be added as they are
compiled.
The following links can also be used to locate useful information on historic preservation topics.
Preservation Briefs
The
National Park Service has published a series of informational booklets
on various preservation methods, materials, and building issues. Topics
available include roofing, painting, window repair, plaster, and many
others.
Tech Notes
The
Preservation Tech Notes series provides practical information on
traditional practices and innovative techniques for successfully
maintaining and preserving cultural resources. Examples from actual
building projects are used to demonstrate solutions to a variety of
problems. Many of the tech notes are available online and those that are
not can be purchased from the Government Printing Office.
Online Resources
If
you are planning work on your historic property the Online Education
website is an excellent place to start. It contains guidelines and
suggestions for retaining the historic character of your property.
There's information on how to manage moisture in your building, guides
on how to inspect your property from the roof down to the foundation, a
checklist for rehabilitating your property and much more.
Secretary of the Interior's Standards
When
planning work on your historic property, this website can help you
decide which of the four preservation treatment approaches to take
(preservation, rehabilitation, restoration and reconstruction) and
provides standards and guidelines for each approach.
Illustrated Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings
Rehabilitation
is the most prevalent of the four preservation treatments. Older
buildings are altered and adapted to a contemporary use while retaining
those elements which define the buildings character. The illustrated
guidelines found on this site provide a wealth of relevant information
which will help in preserving the historic integrity of your property.
