ICOMOS launches its collaborative photobank!

P1030103After several years of work, and having consulted our members in order to learn about their needs (see e-news No. 91, June 2013), the ICOMOS Documentation Centre is proud to present its latest tool: the ICOMOS collaborative photobank. We thank warmly the Walloon region for their financial support throughout this project.

Every year, ICOMOS receives photographs from experts conducting missions on World Heritage properties, but also from generous donators willing to share their collections on historic monuments and sites. Around 2500 images of various types of cultural heritage properties from around the world are already in display in the ICOMOS photobank.

We now invite you to share your images with ICOMOS and take part in the documentation of our global heritage.
