Appending tables

I have two tables.  One table has a location field, date field (Yesterdays date), and a field that has total worked hours.  We will call this Table Current Hours Worked.  I want to be able to delete the location field and rename the table.  I then would like to have the data from that table get Appended to a table that is called Historical Hours worked.  It would have the Date Field, and the Total hours worked for that date.  Append works but Everyday, the report gets refreshed and the data in the Current Hours Worked table gets updated with the new data.  How do I get the Historical Hours worked to keep the data from each day as it changes in the Current Hours Worked table.  I hope this makes sense and apreciate any incite on getting the historical table to build correctly from getting daily data.
