Preserving and Sharing Palmyra’s Cultural Heritage through Harald Ingholt’s Archives
Over 4,000 funeral portraits from Palmyra, Syria were documented by Danish archaeologist Harald Ingholt (1896-1985). Most of this statuary heritage has since been destroyed or looted. Ingholt's archives, housed at Aarhus University, Denmark, will be documented, digitized, and published in open access online.
