ICCROM image archive

We are pleased to announce that an on-line version of the image
archive is now available on the ICCROM web site. The database can be
found at <URL:http://www.iccrom.org/> under the heading Databases.

The archive includes 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.  At present, only a small proportion of the total
collection is available on this site. The collection, however, is
increasing steadily and being updated continuously.

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.
