| Author(s): | Cloonan, Michèle V. |
| Subject(s): |
Libraries and society
Monumental preservation |
| Abstract: | This article introduces the concept of monumental preservation, which the author defines as the preservation of all cultural phenomena, because from the smallest item to the greatest monument all things emanate from and reflect culture. The imperative to preserve monuments is the imperative to preserve our cultural heritage. Whether there is a moral responsibility to preserve cultural heritage may be considered from philosophical, political, and legal perspectives. |
