About the Association for Preservation Technology

The Association for Preservation Technology International is a multi-disciplinary, membership organization dedicated to promoting the best technology for protecting historic structures and their settings. Members are located around the world, and there are currently 21 chapters in North and South America, Europe, South Asia, and Australia.

The Delaware Valley Chapter covers all of Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and northern Delaware. The goal of the Delaware Valley Chapter is to encourage better quality restoration and preservation by promoting communication between various individuals involved in these fields. We accomplish this by hosting presentations and tours that increase each member's knowledge and understanding of proper usage of products and processes in the construction industry.

The Delaware Valley Chapter was formed in 1984 and now has close to 200 members. Events are held approximately once a month between April and December, with an annual members' meeting in February.

The Board meets regularly every 4th Wednesday of the month. Most of our meetings are held via Zoom. Any members interested in attending one of our regular Board meetings to share ideas or otherwise participate, please reach out to us here for more information.

Board of Directors

The Delaware Valley Chapter Board of Directors is made up of members of the preservation community from throughout Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and northern Delaware. Board members are nominated by the Board and put forward for election at the annual meeting.
