About Us

As the oldest and one of the largest of the 110 National Committees of ICOMOS, the U.S. National Committee has played a critical role in the conservation and protection of cultural heritage sites across the world for over half a century.

As we proceed in ICOMOS’s next half century, ICOMOS-USA continues to be a proud member of the worldwide ICOMOS alliance and a vital bridge linking preservation professionals in the United States with our counterparts in other countries. As the only U.S. professional preservation organization with a global focus, ICOMOS-USA remains the gateway for U.S. professionals to participate in worldwide heritage conservation.
