Syria has struggled and been divided by a civil war for over a decade. Cultural heritage is part of human identity and needs to be protected and preserved for the sake of the Syrians and the international community alike. Memories of places and artefacts, social connection and peace can be built on heritage that is common and can be shared. This volume is based on the CIPA workshop organised during the 10th ICAANE held in Vienna in April 2016. The contributions collected therein discuss present challenges in the region and provide an overview of strategies and applications to use various techniques and methods to record and document heritage of Syria, also offering possible prospects for the future.
