Cultural Heritage without Borders, CHwB

Cultural Heritage without Borders, CHwB, is Swedish Non-governmental organization working to preserve cultural monuments endangered in various ways.

The Organization was founded in April, 1995, in the spirit of the Hague Convention from 1954 to lend international support to cultural heritage at risk of being destroyed whether as a result of natural disasters, war or neglect because of poverty or political and social conditions.

The Founders of CHwB are leading representatives from the areas of politics, culture, the arts, as well as academics and professionals in the field of cultural heritage. The committee of CHwB consists of nine members. Six of them are appointed by the National Heritage Board, the Swedish Association of Architects, the ICOMOS and the ICOM, and other three are appointed by the committee itself.
