Most works can be downloaded for free from the ICOMOS Open Archive and are cross-linked in the catalogue by URL links and QR codes.
The catalogue mentions which works are available as hard copies at the Documentation Centre, where they can be ordered either for a fee or for free (shipping costs not included), depending on the work concerned.
For the 2023 edition of the International Day for Monuments and Sites, the Documentation Centre has selected five publications from the ICOMOS Open Archive in keeping with the theme Heritage Changes.
Exploring and discussing the impact of climate change on cultural heritage sites and landscapes through a variety of approaches, they highlight the need to protect and promote the resilience of cultural heritage by providing practical guidance and recommendations for policy makers, heritage practitioners and local communities.
The 2024 edition of the International Day for Monuments and Sites on 18 April 2024 will focus on “Disaster and Conflict through the Lens of the Venice Charter” and simultaneously start the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Venice Charter, adopted on 31 May 1964. ICOMOS members and heritage professionals will reappraise the Venice Charter and its impact on conservation practice and engage debate on its suitability for addressing the challenges of a climate emergency, conflicts and natural disasters.
To support of this reflection, the Documentation Centre has selected five previous ICOMOS publications available in full text on the ICOMOS Open Archive addressing aspects of the damage caused to heritage by various kinds of disasters (notably earthquakes, floods and armed conflits) and subsequents ways to recovery.
One of the most important tools for retrieving bibliographic information on cultural heritage conservation has relaunched on a new platform. Offering access to more than 260 000 references from several leading institutions, the upgraded Bibliographic Database of the Conservation Information Network (BCIN) is easier to search and comes with the features users expect from modern online library catalogues.
