Analysis and Recording of Cultural Heritage in Emergency Situations (ARCHES) and its Impact

Image
  Introduction: ARCHES is a comprehensive digital platform and methodology designed to address the challenges faced in documenting and managing cultural heritage sites in emergency situations. Developed by the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) and the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM), ARCHES provides a systematic approach to assessing, recording, and planning for the protection and recovery of cultural heritage. The platform was initiated in response to the increasing threats faced by cultural heritage sites worldwide, including natural disasters, armed conflicts, looting, and vandalism. These emergencies often result in the loss or damage of significant cultural assets, making it crucial to have effective tools and methodologies to document and assess the affected sites. ARCHES offers a range of features and functionalities to address the complexities of emergency situations. It utilizes digital technologie...
