About APTCP

The Association for Preservation Technology-Central Plains chapter was founded in 2009 and officially organized in 2012 as a non-profit, educational organization dedicated to promoting the best technology for conserving historic structures and their settings.  APTCP serves Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa with a membership ranging between 40 and 70 members.  Our members include architects, engineers, historians, contractors, consultants, artisans, property owners and manufacturers.

The chapter conducts tours of recently restored or in progress preservation projects, organizes an annual symposium on specific materials conservation, and holds an annual meeting and networking event.
