While much of the guidance provided by Technical Preservation
Services is disseminated through our publications and website, TPS also
regularly hosts conferences, workshops, and expositions relating to specific
themes and
new opporunities and challenges in the field of historic preservation.
Usually organized in cooperation with partners including the Association
for Preservation
Technology, the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers,
the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Historic Resources
Committee of the American Institute of Architects,
and the American Society
of Landscape Architects, these gatherings provide a national forum to
explore and promote successful ways of perserving historic buildings
and sites.
Over the past thirty years TPS has hosted conferences on rehabilitating historic windows, historic roofing, building codes and historic rehabilitation, two conferences on historic interiors, two conferences on twentieth century architecture, and most recently, a conference on preserving historic recreation and entertainment sites. Workbooks for several of these conferences featuring papers presented, supplementary materials, and bibliographies are still available for purchase. See the "Co-Published Books" section of the TPS Publications Catalog.
In addition to the theme-based conferences presented
to the public, Technical Preservation Services organizes a range of other
training programs and workshops.
