AIMS AND SCOPE

Qalamos Heritage Studies is an international, peer-reviewed scholarly journal committed to publishing original, rigorous, and intellectually significant research on the heritage cultures of the Mediterranean basin and the Middle East. The journal serves as a forum for advanced scholarship that investigates heritage in its tangible, intangible, textual, visual, spatial, and scientific dimensions, while engaging with wider methodological and theoretical debates in the humanities, social sciences, and conservation sciences.

The journal welcomes contributions that explore archaeology, art and architectural history, history, manuscripts and epigraphy, religious heritage, heritage science and conservation, heritage management, museum and collection studies, and digital and public heritage. It particularly values interdisciplinary research that brings together documentary, material, visual, scientific, and field-based evidence to illuminate the formation, transmission, interpretation, preservation, and contemporary uses of heritage.

Qalamos Heritage Studies publishes research articles, critical review essays, and analytically rich case studies that advance understanding of monuments, sites, landscapes, objects, archives, inscriptions, manuscripts, collections, and living traditions. The journal is especially interested in work that addresses conservation practice, documentation methods, heritage policy, community engagement, sustainability, risk and conflict, climate-related challenges, and the ethical responsibilities of stewardship.

By promoting methodologically explicit, historically grounded, and conceptually ambitious scholarship, Qalamos Heritage Studies aims to foster dialogue across disciplines and regions and to contribute meaningfully to international discussions on cultural heritage, memory, identity, and the role of heritage in contemporary society.
