Résumé en anglais
The requirement for every country to produce a published inventory of monuments and sites, together with photographs and explanatory notes, has long been encouraged by the international heritage community. For instance the compilation of such inventories was arequirement in 1931 of Article VII c) 1 of the Athens Charter for the Restoration of Historic Monuments. This theme was expanded in 1964 in the Venice Charter, adopted by ICOMOS in 1965, which emphasised the importance of thedocumentation of monuments in the form of analytical reports, illustrated with drawings and photographs with the report published and the full records made available in the archives of a public institution.
