The Committee on the Protection of Cultural Treasures in War Areas of The American Committee of Learned Societies was established at the annual meeting of the American Council in January, 1943, and was aided financially by the Rockefellar Foundation and headquartered at the Frick Art Reference Library.

Expert scholars, art historians, collectors, and artists – the most renowned in the world – aided the committee in compiling lists and preparing maps of the most important monuments and works of art to be protectetd. A master index of all works in occupied countries was developed, as well as an extensive photo archive collection.
