The preservation of heritage assets on the U.S. Capitol campus is one of the Architect of the Capitol's (AOC) core functions.

The AOC is the steward of heritage assets throughout the campus. In addition to the buildings and landscape, these assets include fine and decorative art, architectural features, outdoor sculpture, landscape features and fixtures, living botanical assets, memorial trees, archival records and reference material. Many of these assets are national treasures.
