Title
International Polar Heritage Committee
Description
The formation of the International Polar Heritage Committee (IPHC) was the result of concerns about a general lack of awareness and recognition of the history of polar regions. Another concern arose because much of the work that was being done in Arctic and Antarctic regions was being undertaken in a fragmented way without the benefit of the shared knowledge and experience which was available.
An initial aim of the IPHC therefore was to promote the preservation of human heritage in polar regions and to provide a vehicle for collaboration by those working in this field.
The IPHC recognises that it does not have specific expertise in matters related to the indigenous heritage of Arctic regions, but is committed to cooperating closely with groups that do.
