Preservation Periodical Newsletter

The office of Architectural History and Historic Preservation (AHHP) was organized in 1986 to act as curator of the Smithsonian Institution's diverse campus of buildings. AHHP builds the heritage of Smithsonian buildings and the Castle Collection through preservation, research, and education.

This biannual newsletter provides opportunities to learn more about current historic preservation practice, collections management, Smithsonian historic resources, projects, and connection with AHHP staff.
