The Israel Antiquities Authority has expanded the role of the Conservation

Department (Minhal Shimur). This initiative is an outgrowth of the IAA’s

role in safeguarding the cultural assets and built heritage in Israel. The

IAA will act to strengthen the status of the Conservation Department as

the leading professional body that acts to formulate expert standards and

to promote supervision of the conservation processes, professional

training and the assimilation of conservation education.

Bet She‘arim Ben Gurion Airport Zefat


The Conservation Department will advance the preservation of the

cultural heritage in Israel from a national point of view that encompasses

the totality of its values. This heritage is a mosaic of cultures that have

existed in the region from the dawn of humanity until the present. It is

shared by many communities and therefore a high degree of sensitivity is

required in the treatment of it.

Tel Dan Caesarea

Migdal TzedekJerusalem

Bet She’an


The Conservation Department will formulate a policy for the treatment

of the cultural heritage assets in Israel basing it on the Antiquities Law,

professional ethics and the accepted conservation principles in the

world. This policy will make it possible to direct the bodies that are

involved in conservation activity in Israel – public authorities, site

managers, researchers, documenters, planners, conservators and

educators – in assimilating a high degree of professional standards.

Tel Yoqne‘am The Pisan Harbor, Old Acre


The Conservation Department manifests the IAA’s obligation to

establish a body that will lead the way in the field of conservation in

Israel, as an integral part of the responsibility of the state to the

cultural heritage in its territory.
