The Protection Of Cultural Resources Against The Hazards Of War - A Preliminary Handbook
Author: Various

PREFACE The Committee on Conservation of Cultural Resources was established by the National Resources Planning Board in filarch 1941 to collect and disseminate information and promote measures for the protection of books, manuscripts, records, o rokf sa rt, museum objects, historic buildings, scientific and scholarly apparatus, and other cnltura... more »l resources against the hazards of war and to formulate long-range plans for the conservation and broadest and wisest use of cultural resources.
