The North American Astronomical Photographic Plate Center (NAPPC) was established at the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute in 2004. The goal of the Center is to help preserve astronomical photographic data, first by serving as a long term repository for astronomical plate collections and eventually by digitizing the plate material of interest for research projects. In the three years of existence, the Center has received over 25,000 plates. The largest collections are CTIO 4-m plates, CTIO and Warner and Swasey direct and objective prism Schmidt plates, and U. Michigan spectra. Preliminary catalogues of the plates are being developed and placed on line (http://www.pari.edu/library/astronomical-plate-center). A small source of funding has been secured to support this work. Instructions will be available from the authors on the steps to follow for individuals or observatories wishing to archive plates at the Center.
