A: Greater Portland Landmarks offers books and vertical files on preservation techniques in our Peabody Research Library. In addition, GPL presents workshops on preservation best practices through our Restoration Academy program and at the Old House Trade Show. The National Park Service offers excellent technical information through its Preservation Briefs.
