Oliver Torrey Fuller Award

First presented in 1985, this award was created to recognize the article that best demonstrates technical excellence and innovation published in the APT Bulletin during the year in which the award is conferred. Fuller was instrumental in planning the meeting of preservation leaders from the U.S. and Canada at Stanley House in Quebec in 1968 that lead to the founding of APT.
