"Proceedings from the First International Congress for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage organized by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) in Riobamba, Ecuador, in 1994. Includes transcription of important documents such as the Charter of Venice (1964) and the Norms of Quito (1967). A useful methodology for the structural analysis of historic monuments is presented in the case study 'La iglesia de las hermanas agustinas de la Encarnación [de Quito]' by Placencia (p. 93-122). Conservation recommendations in other chapters apply to historic monuments, urban environments, and national parks"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
