How do I become an ICLAFI member?
You need to be a member of an ICOMOS national committee before you can become a member of ICLAFI.
As an ICOMOS member interested to join ICLAFI, you may write to us with a letter introducing yourself, indicating if you are applying for expert or associate membership, and enclosing a curriculum vitae setting out your relevant qualifications. You should keep your national committee informed about your application.
Alternatively, you may arrange for your national committee to nominate you for ICLAFI membership and to provide ICLAFI with the necessary information.
Applications are considered during the ICLAFI Bureau’s regular meetings.
May I attend ICLAFI’s symposia if I am not an ICLAFI member?
In general, attendance at ICLAFI’s symposia by individuals who are not ICLAFI members is limited to guests of the organizer or of ICLAFI members. In other situations, you may contact ICLAFI to ask for permission to attend. Such permission is granted at the sole discretion of the ICLAFI Bureau, and only if the symposium organizer is able to accommodate you.
May I bring to ICLAFI’s attention a heritage site which is in danger to obtain support for its protection?
It is not within ICLAFI’s scope to publicize heritage sites in danger, or to make public statements about the need to protect such sites. Instead, please contact the national committee of the country in which the site is located. You may also use ICOMOS’s Heritage Alert procedure to mobilize its networks and draw attention to threats to certain sites, and for advice on possible conservation solutions.
