[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][mk_divider thickness=”1″ margin_top=”10″][vc_column_text responsive_align=”left”]Initiated in 2014, ASOR’s Cultural Heritage Initiatives is an international collaboration of scholars and institutions who work under the auspices of ASOR. Although the destruction of cultural property represents only part of the humanitarian crisis, these harmful actions threaten our common world heritage and cultural diversity. We have an ethical obligation to respond, and our project is part of an international effort to work with Syrians, Iraqis, and Libyans (and other peoples) to protect their heritage and cultural identity.ASOR Cultural Heritage Initiatives:
