'Heritage at War: Plan and Prepare' edited by myself, Mark Dunkley and Lisa Mol, out on 15th October 2024! Security can, and must, collaborate to give primacy to people and protect tangible and intangible cultural heritage under attack. The volume’s case studies highlight interdisciplinary efforts to protect heritage in conflict zones, drawing out guidance for those working in the Heritage Sector in these contexts, with specific relevance to those engaged in cultural heritage protection and those working in related interdisciplinary fields. Reviewing the historic relationship between heritage and armed conflict, and offering lessons for present-day practitioners, Heritage at War shows how, in different contexts, heritage can be a catalyst and target of conflict, an obstacle to stabilisation, and yet also a potential vector of peace-building and the return to normality.

Preservation easements can be such powerful tools as we seek to permanently preserve important events in US history.
A new easement in the City of Chesapeake protects property associated with the Battle of Great Bridge, the first major armed conflict of the American Revolutionary War in Virginia. This easement protects the 0.664-acre property from subdivision and future development. The city has plans to incorporate the property into the Great Bridge Battlefield & Waterways Historic Park, which is open to the public and includes a museum, an interpretive historic pathway, trails, and other attractions.
