The IHBC is delighted to (finally) welcome April’s launch of the new website for ICOMOS, the ‘global network of professionals and experts working together, for the conservation and protection of cultural heritage sites around the world’.
ICOMOS writes:
ICOMOS, the International Council on Monuments and Sites, is a non-governmental organisation working to conserve and protect cultural heritage sites around the world. We are the only worldwide NGO dedicated to applying scientific techniques, theories and methodology to the conservation of both tangible and intangible elements of cultural heritage places.
We are a global network of professionals and experts working together. As a diverse membership network covering the whole range of heritage specialisms, ICOMOS’ strength and impact comes from our ongoing interdisciplinary exchanges and conversations, which inform all its approaches and activities.
ICOMOS’ members work together to improve the preservation of our cultural heritage. This means that we are constantly reviewing and improving standards and techniques specific to each type of cultural heritage: monuments, buildings, groups of buildings, sites, places, and landscapes.
