The Cultural Policy Research Institute is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing public education and understanding of issues of cultural property.
We research legal, administrative, political and ethical issues concerning acquisition, display, conservation and publication of cultural artifacts by museums and private individuals in the United States.
We support preservation and accessibility for art and artifacts and the protection of archaeological sites everywhere.
Our goals are to:
- share information on cultural policy issues through our website, www.cprinst.org, through outreach to the museum community and by publishing analyses of laws and international agreements.
- encourage cooperation between U.S. and foreign
institutions and governments to preserve cultural heritage for future generations.
- protect cultural sites of all types from damage or
destruction by conflict, looting, development or neglect.
Our members include distinguished legal specialists, museum professionals, academics, collectors, and members of the public. We are headquartered in Santa Fe, NM. The Institute gratefully receives financial support from individuals, foundations and organizations.
