An overview of historic preservation is presented, as well as guidelines of procedures and responsibilities of a meeting's property committee. Included are detailed recommendations for maintenance and repair of structures particular to Quaker meetinghouses, in addition to those not so particular like the roof and electrical systems. One section discusses additions and building adaptations. Much information appears in the appendices, which include information on funding repairs and changes and many other tips.
