Magazine profile
Monumentorum Custos is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed professional magazine focused on the field of heritage preservation. It is a regional magazine that focuses on a wider area of north-western Bohemia, which includes the territory of three self-governing units, namely the Ústí nad Labem, Karlovy Vary, and Liberec regions. The magazine has a fixed structure of contributions: while the main peer-reviewed part deals with studies and documents, the secondary non-peer-reviewed part engages in monument restorations, exhibitions, reviews and information on current events in the field of heritage preservation.
Professional focus
The magazine focuses on the study of the history, development and analysis of the monument fund in the monitored area, on all its components. The subject of interest are immovable monuments (existing and extinct), works of fine arts and crafts, and monuments of garden art. Furthermore, the magazine focuses on contributions from the field of urbanism, the development of settlements, and important monumental or landscape-creating zones. The field of archaeology is also a full-fledged part. The outputs also focus on the procedures and results of historical building, archaeological, technological, art history, historical, archival and natural science research.
Goals
The magazine is intended for the Czech and European professional community, and for the knowledge of the development of the monument fund in the border region, which was always affected by foreign influences, in this case mainly from the German lands. Another goal is to pass on information about the monument fund to the general public directly in the monitored area in order to rebuild the affiliation of the population with the cultural values of the monitored region because this affiliation has been significantly damaged due to historical development.
