The Western Chapter of the Association for Preservation Technology (WCAPT) is a not-for-profit educational association promoting the exchange of ideas and knowledge concerning the conservation of historic resources and the application of preservation technology.

This Chapter of the APTI is intended to serve the needs of interested persons in the Western United States, including but not limited to, California, Nevada, and Arizona.

Our Mission

Promoting the study, conservation and rehabilitation of cultural resources through technology.

WCAPT has recently initiated a membership annual renewal period to coincide with APT International, from July 1 to June 30, to encourage membership in both. To further encourage membership in APTI, a 33% discount is applied to WCAPT membership for APTI members. WCAPT is the only APT chapter to apply this discount.

Join WCAPT any time: membership is prorated as the year progresses so you never pay for a full year prior to the start of a new member year.

Student membership is free to encourage peer mentorship and to grow the profession.

A new class of membership, Corporate, aids in the financial security of the Chapter. There are several benefits to Corporate membership in WCAPT: the member company has prominent promotional placement at events and in printed promotional material; discounted or complementary admission to events; prominent placement in the Member Directory.

Sponsor level membership admits three representatives of the organization or firm as members, while Patron level membership admits six representatives as members.

WCAPT held their 2014 Annual Meeting Saturday May 10, which featured two exciting tours! This year we met in Southern California, in Los Angeles at the recently renovated Ace Hotel Downtown Los Angeles, formerly the United Artists Theatre. The theatre was built in 1927 and originally designed after the Segovia Cathedral in Spain. It has been adaptively rehabilitated as a hotel by GREC Architects and Commune Design.

The Annual meeting began at the hotel in the Segovia Hall at 2 PM. At the conclusion of the Annual meeting a tour of the hotel followed, with a presentation of its rehabilitation afterward. A very nice wine reception capped the afternoon.

WCAPT also sponsored a guided tour of the exterior of the Ray and Charles Eames House in Pacific Palisades. Conservation work to the house was described during the tour.
