PUBLICATIONS

APT Bulletin: The Journal of Preservation Technology features some of the most exciting new developments in preservation technology. Published three times per year, the Bulletin is the ultimate source for state-of-the-art information-from debates on preservation versus restoration to the latest on such topics as paint and mortar analysis, computer imagery, and roofing. The Bulletin's feature articles and book reviews keep readers on the leading edge of the field.

Communiqué, APT's quarterly electronic newsletter, alerts members to current projects, new job postings, the latest publications, awards, grant deadlines, and upcoming conferences and symposia around the world.

In 2006 APT will introduce two new publication projects: Practice Points and the Digital Archive of Building Technology.

Practice Points will feature the application of existing and cutting-edge technologies, share original research in the history of building technology and materials, or present recent case studies in which new technologies and techniques have been used. Practice Points will appear in the APT Bulletin and will also be available to APT members on this Web site.

APT Digital Archive of Building Technology will contain scanned primary source materials such as technical manuals from building-trade associations and trade catalogs for products that enjoyed wide-spread use. These materials will be easily accessed through this new digital archive, which is sure to become a valuable research tool for anyone working in the field of historic preservation.
