The Publications Committee is responsible for overseeing APT's goal of publishing and delivering high-quality publications, including the APT Bulletin, Practice Points, the Communiqué, social media, special publications, videos and the APT website. The Publications Committee also oversees APT's publication-related awards.
APT Bulletin: The Journal of Preservation Technology
The APT Bulletin provides state-of-the-art technical information in the field of historic preservation and showcases articles that address cutting-edge preservation techniques, as well as innovative applications of established restoration technologies. Articles include case studies demonstrating best practices, exemplary craftsmanship, international debates on preservation philosophy, and histories of building materials, technologies, and systems. The APT Bulletin also addresses emerging issues and trends, such as preservation engineering and the integration of sustainability and historic preservation. The APT Bulletin also publishes book reviews. First issued in 1969, the APT Bulletin is peer-reviewed and produced three times per year.

Practice Points
Practice Points are published in the APT Bulletin as a way to share best practices in the field. Each column illustrates and existing or cutting-edge technology or technique in practice, shares original research in the history of building technology and materials, or presents recent case studies in which new technologies and techniques have been used successfully. Practice Points is designed to provide the most up-to-date, nuts-and-bolts information for practitioners and their clients.

Communiqué
APT's newsletter, the Communiqué, publishes more time-sensitive material. It offers APT members a point of exchange for preservation information, where they can present their news and awards, share their project experiences with colleagues, post calls for papers, and submit preservation queries to the readership. Employers can recruit potential candidates by advertising positions to APT's network of qualified preservation specialists.

Additional titles are available in APT's online bookstore and we are actively soliciting new ideas.

APT Videos
The Publications Committee is producing short videos focused on preservation technology topics, many of which serve as companions to articles in the Practice Points series. The video companions provide an opportunity to capture hands-on-demonstrations, live action, and interviews to help make Practice Points more accessible to a global audience through the APT YouTube channel. The Publications Committee coordinates video production efforts with authors of Practice Points and local video producers. This initiative is enhanced by financial support from the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT). A video to accompany the Practice Points on architectural terra cotta is currently in production.
