The Corpus Vitrearum was established in 1952 and operates under the aegis of the Comité International de l'Histoire de l'Art (CIHA) and the Union Académique Internationale (UAI). The aim of the Corpus Vitrearum is the thorough scholarly investigation and documentation of all medieval European stained glass windows. The scope may be extended to a pre-Gothic Revival date for those countries in which important post-medieval stained glass windows are found. The work of the Corpus Vitrearum involves the application of rigorous critical methods to establish authenticity and to study the techniques used in the production of stained glass. Its organization includes an International Committee presided over by an elected Board, an International Committee for the Conservation of Stained Glass, and National Committees of countries in Europe and North America which possess medieval stained glass windows either in monuments or in collections
The International Council on Monuments and Sites is an association of professionals throughout the world that currently brings together over 7500 members. ICOMOS works for the conservation and protection of cultural heritage places. It is the only global non-government organization of this kind, which is dedicated to promoting the application of theory, methodology, and scientific techniques to the conservation of the architectural and archaeological heritage. Its work is based on the principles enshrined in the 1964 International Charter on the Conservation and Restoration of Monuments and Sites (the Venice Charter).
