The National Center for Preservation Technology and Training is a research, technology, and training center of the U.S. National Park Service located on the campus of Northwestern State University. Since its founding in 1994, NCPTT has awarded over $7 million in grants for research that fulfills its mission of advancing the use of science and technology in the field of historic preservation. NCPTT undertakes research at its in-house laboratories at Lee H. Nelson Hall in Natchitoches, Louisiana. Working in the fields of archeology, architecture, landscape architecture and materials conservation, the National Center accomplishes its mission through training, education, research, technology transfer and partnerships.〔http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/about-us/who-we-are-what-we-do/〕 ==History== NCPTT has its beginnings in "Technologies for Prehistoric and Historic Preservation," the Office of Technology Assessment that U.S. Congress published in September 1986. This report was requested by the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs to assess preservation technologies and their use by federal agencies in the implementation of laws relating to prehistoric and historic preservation. Among the major findings of this report was the need for: *Training in the use of technologies, *Studying ways to apply known technologies to preservation problems, *Improving information sharing and coordination, *Finding the appropriate fit of technologies to preservation problems, *Reducing the costs of new technologies, and *Developing standards for the application of new technologies The report cited the critical need to establish a federally funded institution as a mechanism to coordinate research, disseminate information and provide training about new technologies in preservation.〔http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/wiki/index.php/History_of_NCPTT〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Center for Preservation Technology and Training」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
