About the ICCROM on line databases

Training Directory: is the cyber version of the International Directory on Training in Conservation of Cultural Heritage, last printed in 1994. It offers basic information on conservation training courses. A link to the institution's web site, if available, is proposed for obtaining further details on the courses. This is a joint project with the Getty Conservation Institute and further refinement for updating the information is in the works. A printed version of the directory (complete or by field of interest) is available on request.
Is your programme listed? If you provide training in conservation, you are encouraged to visit our site and check the entry on your institution. Please help us update or add entries, using the updating form (printed or electronic), sending printed material, or sending an e-mail to: TrDirectory@iccrom.org.

Conference Calendar: a database of heritage conservation events that can be searched by country and by main fields of interest. The page also offers links to other calendars.
Is your conference listed? If you are interested in submitting a conference, seminar or workshop, please send us announcements by mail or e-mail: conferences@iccrom.org

Image archive: a highlight of this site is a rare collection of some 60,000 photographs taken by ICCROM staff. These records provide unique testimony to the conservation and documentation of cultural heritage over the past 40 years. The image archive project is made possible by the invaluable contribution of equipment from Hewlett Packard Italia and generous grants from Samuel H. Kress Foundation and the Finnish Government. We would like to especially thank these sponsors, who have been vital to the success of this project.

ICCROM Library periodicals: the catalogue of more than 700 periodicals available in the Library is offered on line. The periodicals list is an important tool for keeping abreast of latest developments in the conservation field. The database is searchable by title of the journal, country and theme. It also includes the publisher’s e-mail and Web site address for subscription enquiries.

Coming soon!

Research survey database - late 1999: Lists of institutions carrying out conservation research and some entities who support this activity. A link to each institution's web site is provided, in order to help obtain further information on current projects. 

In order to keep the database updated, both researchers as well as supporters are encouraged to inform us of their initiatives in order to create a platform for the diffusion and exchange of information.  The more we are informed of your most relevant initiaties, the more the database will become a dynamic reference point.
