UPenn Cultural Heritage Center

Source: University of Pennsylvania

Description: This center offers teachers new and expert information about cultural heritage in the US and globally, including data about Native Americans, Syria, Iraq, among others. Founded in 2008, and directed by Richard M. Leventhal, the Penn Cultural Heritage Center draws upon the expertise of scholars and the research collections of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. Its present organization involves the collaboration of researchers across the University of Pennsylvania and beyond whose research intersects with contemporary heritage issues. Since CHC’s inception, it has focused primarily on creating forums that bring together academics with non-academic stakeholders in cultural property policy programs.
