Project summary
The fragility of paper materials and conflict and displacement within the area put this heritage at risk of permanent loss without protective measures put in place.
The project conserved at risk paper materials, some of which were severely damaged. Advanced conservation skills training and capacity building for museum staff delivered in partnership with the British Library was followed by a very extensive programme of document conservation and digitisation. This has been complemented by a wide range of advocacy and education activities hosted by the Palestinian Museum.
