NTHP Preservation Book Archive
During the 1970s-the mid-2000s, the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP) published a Preservation Book Series on a wide variety of topics, from how to host a development charrette to creating fundraising plans. These publications are no longer available for sale, nor are they readily available online (until now). What follows is a growing collection of scanned titles. New titles will be added regularly. While some of the information is dated, there are useful pieces.
Have you been looking for a particular title or topic? If so, email the Director to see if it is in the NPPN library and it will be added to the list. Do you have a title that is missing from our collection? If you’d like to share it, send a scanned PDF to the Director. Need a higher or lower resolution copy? Just ask. Thanks!
