Heritage Law Bibliography

Compiled by international heritage law experts, Dr. Patrick J. O'Keefe and Professor Lyndel V. Prott, the Heritage Law Bibliography is a source of a great deal of bibliographic information pertaining to legal issues surrounding cultural and natural heritage in about 100 countries. Citations are drawn from the international literature and include books, journal articles, conference proceedings, reports of litigation, and government documents. This database grew out of research by Dr. O'Keefe and Professor Prott for their five-volume series, Law and the Cultural Heritage.

Topics include the theft of artifacts, repatriation, and the unlawful trade in cultural goods. This database is a current and exhaustive guide to literature on the heritage laws in various jurisdictions. Data remain in the languages in which they were recorded.

The Heritage Law Bibliography is a database of references to books or periodical articles on the topic of heritage law. It is not a library catalogue; to obtain copies of the books or articles cited in the Heritage Law Bibliography, please contact your local library and submit an inter-library loan request.
