The AURORA Publication invites contributions for its upcoming volume, Illicit Trafficking of Cultural Property – Examples from the Heritage Sector.
This initiative seeks to spotlight the frameworks, challenges, and innovative solutions used by heritage organizations to combat the illicit trafficking of cultural property.
By gathering insights from museums, archaeological sites, conservation institutes, and related organizations, the publication aims to enhance knowledge-sharing and collaboration in protecting cultural heritage.
Our objectives are to examine the methods, tools, and partnerships utilized by heritage institutions to fight illicit trafficking and illegal excavations.
We also aim to showcase successful case studies of repatriation, explore legislative frameworks, and highlight how technology can transform efforts in cultural property protection.
By sharing these stories, we aim to inspire further action and innovation in the global fight against this pressing issue.
