As civil war grinds on in Syria and Iraq, American heritage professionals are doing what they can to help local
museum curators preserve the artifacts in their care. Of course, this won't stop the iconoclasts of ISIS from smashing historic artifacts and religious items for show, but it will provide some tools to those who care to help preserve what they can. At least the Western-leaning Syrian rebels and the Assad Regime are basically on the same page about the need to preserve Syria's magnificent cultural heritage.
