	ICOMOS Recommendation, Durham Cathedral and Castle
		Located on a rocky butte overlooking a bend in the Wear River, the monumental array constituted by the cathedral and its outbuildings to the south and by the castle which inhibits the main access to the peninsula, to the north, makes up one of the best known cityscapes of medieval Europe.
		The relatively small size of Durham, which is an episcopal and university town (25,600 inhabitants in 1985) is conducive to the sound conservation of this site which is partly wooded.
		The history of Durham is linked to that of the transfer of the body of St. Cuthbert (died in 687), the evangelist of Northumbria who was buried on the island of Lindisfarne (Holy Land).

	Geographic Information Systems for World Heritage Preservation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Preservation of cultural sites has traditionally been oriented toward the protection and restoration of built structures, but there is now a trend toward the protection of larger sites and a monument's surrounds.
		Site maintenance may include scheduled cleaning or repair of signs and tourist facilities, the repair of fences, the application of stone preservation products, anti-graffiti treatments, etc. GIS is a logical tool to apply to site maintenance, particularly the maintenance of large sites.
		For the purpose of this Convention, international protection of the world cultural and natural heritage shall be understood to mean the establishment of a system of international cooperation and assistance designed to support States Parties to the Convention in their efforts to conserve and identify that heritage.
