The Cultural Heritage by Archaeology and Military Panel (CHAMP) and Military Cultural Heritage Advisory Group (MilCHAG) collaborative groups are devoted to preserving and protecting the cultural heritage of all nations in conflict zones and natural disasters. Membership in both groups overlap, but CHAMP membership is broader and bigger. More military personnel (of all militaries) are members of MilCHAG. CHAMP has an interest in civilian education and job opportunities in conservation and preservation. MilCHAG focuses more on support to military forces while taking into account military objectives and priorities.
The groups are sharing this website due to their common objectives and resources. Clicking on the separate group tabs will provide information that is unique to those groups. Members are encouraged to post any relevant news items in the News tab; any event notices can also be posted in the Event tab. New reference material, education information, and job notices can be sent to CHAMP Secretary Laura Childs at lacaug@cs.com to be posted. Any information specific to the MilCHAG can be sent to Dave Selnick at selnickdj@tiffin.edu. We welcome any suggestions for improving this website!
