This two volume guide provides a comprehensive overview of the
fundamental principles and guidelines for documenting cultural
heritage places. It seeks to aid heritage managers and decision
makers in understanding their roles and responsibilities inn this
essential activity. Volume 1 (Guiding Principles) explains why
heritage managers must make sure that heritage information fully
integrated into all research, investigation and conservation
activities. Through the discussion of basic principles, benefits
and new approaches, it assists those in charge of preserving
immovable cultural heritage by bringing current heritage
information practices to a new level. By recording we create a
reference for evaluating change and add to the understanding of a
site. By documenting we guarantee that information is
systematically collected and preserved for future use. By managing
the information we make it available and provide a basis for
sharing our knowledge and understanding. Volume 2 presents
illustrated examples from around the world. Good documentation of a
site allows for better understanding of the site's value.
Recognizing value and significance is often the first step toward a
site's eventual conservation. The information obtained through the
documentation process allows conservation professionals to record
current conditions, consider appropriate conservation options, plan
interventions, apply treatments, and finally, measure the results
of their efforts. Documentation can be a tool in resolving a
conservation issue. This volume presents several illustration
examples from around the world, in various stages of
conservation.
