Description:

This English edition of The International Commission for the Preservation of Islamic Cultural Heritage was published in Istanbul in 1986 under the framework of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (O.I.C.), today known as the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (O.I.C.). The publication was prepared by the International Commission for the Preservation of Islamic Cultural Heritage (ICPICH) as an official institutional and cultural heritage booklet dedicated to the protection and preservation of Islamic historical and architectural heritage.

The publication reflects the activities and international initiatives carried out for safeguarding historical monuments, Islamic architecture, manuscripts, archaeological sites, and cultural assets across the Islamic world. The commission’s secretariat and administrative coordination were conducted through IRCICA (Research Centre for Islamic History, Art and Culture), headquartered in Istanbul.

Themes such as cultural preservation, Islamic art, architectural conservation, historical memory, international cooperation, and heritage protection appear throughout the booklet. The publication includes institutional information, preservation policies, international cultural programs, and documentation concerning efforts to conserve Islamic cultural heritage during the late twentieth century.

Richly illustrated throughout, the booklet contains numerous photographs and visual materials related to Islamic historical sites and preservation projects. It also features photographs of Faisal bin Fahd bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, a member of the Saudi royal family associated with cultural and institutional activities connected to the Islamic world during the period.
