Historic preservation is saving our past, our cultural heritage, and our historic environments. It is concerned with conservation, maintenance, protection, and repair, and, at times, the replication of our built and human environment.

Historic preservation includes the architectural aspects of our heritage from buildings and other structures to historic sites and entire communities, heritage districts, and heritage corridors. Historic canals, farms, haciendas, landscapes, industries, lighthouses, pueblos, railroads, rivers, scenic views, and archaeological ruins are all part of our cultural heritage. Historic preservation considers our heirloom craftsmanship, building materials, tools, and construction methods. The description and documentation of all aspects of our heritage and history are a vital part of historic preservation. In addition to protecting and saving our heritage, historic preservation fosters an appreciation of our diverse cultural heritage.

To many, the economic benefits of historic preservation may be the most important. Historic preservation provides an avenue to enrich and revitalize our lives and communities. It creates jobs, revitalizes downtown areas, stimulates businesses, and ultimately, makes communities more vital. Historic preservation offers tax incentives, funding possibilities, motivation for community involvement, and fosters community spirit. Historic preservation enables communities to become economically viable and livable.

Access to useful and current information on all aspects of historic preservation is essential for the success of historic preservation initiatives. This resources bibliography is designed as a working tool for researching, planning, and organizing. The various sections provide a sampling of available materials and resources.

This list is a sampling of the thousands of books available about historic preservation and related topics. There are also many specialty books on barns, buildings, architecture, architectural styles, interiors, exteriors, construction, financial considerations, landscapes, lighthouses, preservation techniques, windmills, and other facets of historic preservation. One of the most extensive collections of books and other materials about historic preservation is the National Trust for Historic Preservation Library which is part of the Architecture Library at the University of Maryland at College Park in Maryland.
