Cultural heritage in various parts of Syria is affected by extremely serious conditions: battle damage, offered for sale on the black market, plundered from museums or illegal excavation and destroyed intentionally by IS. For protecting Syrian cultural heritage against these acts, this project aims to record precise information about cultural heritage, disseminate the importance of this cultural heritage to the Syrian public, and maintain support efforts so that Syrians can work independently on sustained protection of their heritage.. Concrete examples of support include: 1) Distribution of a commentary book on Syrian cultural heritage for use in education initiatives, 2) Recording and publication of cultural heritage, 3) Development, distribution and publication of technical manuals on maintenance and protection of cultural heritage.. These activities continue as a part of this Project for International Contribution to Cultural Heritage Protection, authorized by the Agency for Cultural Affairs in 2015.
