Living Religious Heritage: conserving the sacred

Compilation of articles and case studies presented at the Forum Centre for Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage (ICCROM) in 2003 entitled Living Religious Heritage: Conserving the Sacred.

The authors, experts on religious heritage and spiritual traditions from around the world, explore the needs of religious communities and conservation professionals when attempting to identify and define best practices. The main purpose of the publication is to clarify which are the most important principles in the reconciliation of the conservation of living religious heritage and the spirituality that has created it and maintained it throughout history.
