International Blue Shield's Mission to Haiti - Online Report

The Blue Shield International sent two experts in Port-au-Prince from 11th to 16th of April. Danielle Mincio (IFLA) and Christophe Jacobs (ICA and ANCBS) went there in order to work with the Haitian colleagues. They have taken all the necessary information to the establishment of the Blue Shield center for the treatment of damaged cultural heritage properties. This was also the opportunity to complete the assessments made previously to quantify the affected collections and various types of treatments which will be offered in this center.
