Assuring Our Cultural Legacy in the 21st Century approaches the challenges our world faces with the changing times, regional conflicts, and natural disasters, and explores our responsibilities as stewards of culture. The book contains essays from visionaries at the cutting edge of vital preservation work, along with selected transcripts from the compelling keynotes and panel discussions that took place at Asia Society’s 2015 Arts & Museum Summit. The publication probes the key ethical and practical questions facing preservation and cultural heritage, and explores the technologies, methods, and practices used to keep these traditions intact and relevant into the 21st century.
