Preservation Briefs provide guidance on preserving, rehabilitating and restoring historic buildings. Please note that the web versions of the Preservation Briefs differ somewhat from the printed versions. Many illustrations are new, captions are simplified, illustrations are typically in color rather than black and white, and some complex charts have been omitted.

Hard copies of the Briefs may be purchased from the Government Printing Office. A link at the end of each Brief takes you to the online TPS Publications Catalog. You can also order PBs from the U.S. Government Printing Office Online Bookstore.
