The journal is indexed in the international database of the ICOMOS Documentation Centre: http://databases.unesco.org/icomos/ The editor, Transsylvania Nostra Foundation (TNF), has been issuing the journal regularly for four years now. Since we have received acknowledgment from internationally recognized specialists, we have continued with publishing articles in Romanian, Hungarian or German (depending on the original language) and their translation in English. This aspect has offered our publication not only regional or national, but also international character, and so far it is the only multilingual journal in the field of built heritage conservation in Romania. The Transsylvania Nostra Journal has been launched in 2007, each issue containing a collection of scientific materials, results of research, conservation and rehabilitation works done by renowned specialists. The articles are focused on one of the most important fields of cultural heritage that contains inestimable material, aesthetic and spiritual values: the ensemble of the built culture. Nowadays, to be able to respect and to pass on this rich heritage, one essential condition is to know and understand it. This is why the articles of the journal contain and treat all the aspects that are linked to built heritage protection, such as technical issues, several archaeological discoveries and components with high artistic value, this way maintaining its image characterized by great thematic diversity. |
