Urgent Action: Safeguarding the Diverse Cultural Heritage of Jerusalem
The Khalidi Library – Khalidi Waqf will lead a project to support the preservation of, and efforts to increase public access to East Jerusalem’s written and archaeological heritage, which is at risk due to conflict and instability and climate related changes.
The creation of a comprehensive architectural and archaeological study will inform planned future physical interventions to rehabilitate an important cultural centre.
A separate intensive programme in the emergency preservation of ancient manuscripts will allow trainees to develop theoretical and practical skills, before applying this learning to safeguarding endangered collections.
