The rock carvings in Tanum constitute a priceless part of our cultural heritage of mankind and have therefore been included in on the UNESCO's World Heritage List.
In that way Sweden has taken the responsibility to preserve the rock carvings for the future. Many panels weather due to environmental pollution. An important aspect of preservation is to record the panels before it will be too late.
Tanums Hällristningsmuseum in Underslös has throughout the years made important contributions to this task.
Tanums Hällristningsmuseum is the only institution that offers an education in the documentation of rock carvings in Scandinavia on a regular bases.
This is a presentation of the results from the documentation proces, which is published in the serie Documentation and Registration of Rock Art in Tanum World Heritage
More information about the documentation proces can be found here.
