@Facebook continues to block the Cultural Heritage Lawyer blog at culturalheritagelawyer.blogs… because, it says, "the content doesn't meet our Community Standards." I'm thrilled #Facebook now has unblocked @ARCA_artcrime's blog! You can highlight the problem by RT'ing this post.
10 minutes ago our access was restored to #Facebook so that ARCA can continue posting about art crime, illicit trafficking and cultural heritage issues. Thank you to everyone who helped us be heard. Without your help and voices, we couldn't have done it. art-crime.blogspot.com/
There are so many fascinating things to see while searching the @dlmenetwork. This stereoview comes from the American Univ in Cairo's collections and shows the step pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara in 1896. What do you find compelling? #DLME. bit.ly/2Ciqk5H
Today’s @dlmenetwork find - beautiful gold necklace with nefer signs from the time period of Tuthmosis III. One translation of “nefer” is “beautiful on the inside and the outside.” What’s your favorite #DLME find? ow.ly/hlAk50AAiZL
This is a major step for us and thanks are due to the terrific staff at @CLIRnews and @StanfordLibs. Congratulations to all and please enjoy your time on the Digital Library of the Middle East. @CombatLooting @caorc @ASOResearch @archaeology_aia @AmericanAnthro @MidEastLibs
CLIR and @StanfordLibs announce the launch of the Digital Library of the Middle East @dlmenetwork, a collaboration that aims to become one of the world’s largest online archives of Middle Eastern and North African artifacts. #DLME #MENA ow.ly/7Hx750AypFU
Deeply grateful to the @MellonFdn and @WhitingFdn for their support over the last four years, which, along with the collaboration of our partners in the MENA region, made this possible.

#ArchivesClimate @ICArchiv I'm having problems access the Facebook Live feed for the Climate Change presentation. Is it live or is it just me?

Join @CombatLooting as we discussing the role of culture in the post-Covid economic recovery at 11am Eastern tomorrow, May 26 with Rich Kurin, Bonnie Burnham, and Donovan Rypkema. Details and registration here: theantiquitiescoalition.org/….
The first AC webinar was fascinating, covering the ethical obligations of archaeologists to report looting, and this should be too. Sign up below. @CLIRnews @ARCENational @archaeology_aia @Art_Curators @ALIPHFoundation
As policy-makers engineer the economic rebound from #COVID19, the #arts and culture sector—an $875 billion driver of the U.S. economy alone—offers opportunity. Join us as we ask, "How can culture be part of the post-COVID economic recovery?" Register now!

The challenges faced in #Yemen are daunting. There is the threat of renewed conflict, floods that burst the sewers, and a rain so significant that offices and collections are threatened. On top of the first Covid cases in the country. Glad to hear you are ready to help, #ALIPH!
Solidarity with our friends and partners in #Yemen, following massive flooding last week. #ALIPH is ready to help.

Great appreciation to @MellonFdn.
We thank the @MellonFdn for generously approving additional stipends to all CLIR Mellon Dissertation Fellows to help defray unforeseen expenses, such as canceled travel, because of COVID-19

Reports like this from @Telegraph — warning that cultural racketeering is financing violent extremists and other armed forces across the Sahel — illustrate the continuing importance of MOUs like those from @HeritageAtState
