May 2011 was National Preservation Month in the US and this year's theme was 'Celebrating America's Treasures'. Through this year's theme of Save America's Treasures, the National Trust for Historic Preservation aimed for communities and organisations across the country to spread the word that programs like 'Save America's Treasures' not only protect the places that tell the US story, but also create jobs and spur economic development. In an effort to draw awareness to the importance of preservation, 3M supported National Preservation Month by highlighting efforts by organisations such as the Daughters of the Republic of Texas Library and the State Library of Pennsylvania. Neatly displayed at The Daughters of The Republic of Texas Library, located in the original Alamo compound in San Antonio, are thousands of books, irreplaceable art, photographs, documents and maps representing the cultural heritage of Texas. All pieces of history are being protected by the Ansul Sapphire Fire Suppression System utilising 3M Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid.
