UK Blue Shield has a new website

The UK national committee of Blue Shield has launched a new website.

Blue Shield International was founded in 1996 to protect the world’s cultural and natural heritage, tangible and intangible, in the event of armed conflict, natural- or human-made disaster. The role of national committees is to consider the impact of such threats in their own countries and territories, sharing expertise with other committees and coordinating with partner organisations.

ICOM was one of the four founding organisations of Blue Shield International. As such, ICOM UK is automatically represented on the committee of Blue Shield UK and can take part in specialist Working Groups.
