| + | '''Monel''' or '''Monel metal''' is an alloy made of nickel (roughly 70%), copper (25 to 29%), and a small percentage of manganese, silicone, carbon, and iron. This mixture was popular from the early to mid 1900s and was used in several architectural applications. Monel is stronger than steel, resistant to corrosion, and readily fabricated. | ||

Welcome!
Preservapedia is (or, rather, will) be a free-content encyclopedia. Unlike Wikipedia or other similar resources, Preservapedia focuses specifically on technical material related to historic preservation and its allied fields. An example of this might be an article on the physical conservation of the Statue of Liberty (differing in scope from the general-audience Statue of Liberty article found on Wikipedia). Such an entry could include links to additional articles concerning the legislation that applies to the statue as a New York City Landmark, U.S. National Monument, and UNESCO World Heritage Site.
