Welcome!
Preservapedia is a free-content encyclopedia and knowledge base. 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.
