NCPE's Activites

The NCPE Guide to Academic Programs in Historic Preservation and Allied Fields is provided as a reference source to assist prospective students in identifying various historic preservation education degree programs in the United States.
NCPE publishes the Preservation Education & Research (PER) journal. The mission of this peer-reviewed journal is to exchange and disseminate information concerning preservation education and research.
NCPE sponsors internships, preservation conferences, and PreserveNet.
Annual membership meetings are held in the fall, generally at the same location and time as the annual conference of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. A highpoint of each annual meeting is the dinner banquet at which NCPE members and guests honor an outstanding preservation educator with NCPE's James Marston Fitch Award.
