The UNESCO Committee on Monuments, Historical and Archaeological sites has chosen John O. Brew, Peabody Professor of American Archaeology, as its Vice-Chairman. Brew, who is also director of the Peabody Museum, was elected at the recent week-long meeting of the committee in Paris.
The chief aim of the committee is to help countries preserve their historical treasures, especially in war time. It is one of several committees making up the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization.
Brew stated that the committee intends to draft treaties designed to safeguard libraries, museums, and other historical sites in time of war. It will also provide for international regulation of archaeological excavations.
