Comprehensive documentation preserves knowledge of historic buildings and restoration processes
for future generations. This systematic approach records building conditions, treatment decisions,
and project outcomes to support ongoing preservation and educational efforts.

**Pre-Project Documentation:** Record existing conditions through comprehensive photography,
measured drawings, and written descriptions. Document architectural features, material conditions,
and historical context. Establish baseline records against which restoration progress can be
measured.

**Treatment Documentation:** Record all preservation interventions with detailed descriptions
of methods, materials, and rationales. Document treatment decisions with before-and-after
photography and condition assessments. Maintain records that support regulatory compliance and
future maintenance decisions.

**Material and Process Records:** Document material specifications, sources, and application
methods used in restoration work. Record construction processes and techniques employed.
Preserve knowledge of successful approaches for future reference and replication.

**Photographic Standards:** Establish systematic photographic documentation protocols that
capture building conditions comprehensively. Use consistent lighting, scales, and perspectives
to ensure comparability. Maintain digital archives with proper metadata and organization.

**Measured Drawing Requirements:** Create accurate measured drawings that document existing
conditions and restoration interventions. Include details of architectural features, material
transitions, and construction methods. Maintain drawing standards that support future analysis
and restoration work.

**Archival Storage Systems:** Develop organized storage systems for preservation documentation
that ensure accessibility and longevity. Use acid-free materials and climate-controlled storage
for sensitive documents. Implement digital preservation strategies for long-term record keeping.

**Accessibility and Sharing:** Make preservation documentation available to researchers,
preservationists, and property owners. Share knowledge through publications, databases, and
educational programs. Contribute to broader preservation knowledge through documentation sharing.

**Quality Control Standards:** Establish documentation review processes that ensure accuracy,
completeness, and consistency. Implement quality control checks for all documentation products.
Maintain documentation standards that meet professional preservation requirements.

**Long-term Preservation:** Plan for the long-term preservation of documentation materials
through appropriate storage and migration strategies. Ensure digital materials remain accessible
through format migration and technology updates. Preserve documentation value for future
generations of preservation professionals.
