These Principles have been written with the objective of updating the “Principles for the Preservation of
Historic Timber Structures” adopted by ICOMOS at the 12th General Assembly in Mexico, October 1999.
The updating process began in Guadalajara, Mexico (2012), Himeji, Japan (2013) and continued in Falun,
Sweden (2016).
This document seeks to apply the general principles of the Venice Charter (1964), the Declaration of
Amsterdam (1975), the Burra Charter (1979), the Nara Document on Authenticity (1994) and related
UNESCO and ICOMOS doctrines concerning the protection and conservation of the wooden built heritage.
