What the newsletter contains

Each issue opens with an editorial of about ten lines, signed by a senior member of the Organisation. It is followed by the month's news, a figure with commentary, upcoming events, recent publications and a portrait or case study.

The newsletter takes five minutes to read. Each section links to a page of the site for further reading, so that readers can choose the level of detail that suits them.

Who it is for

The newsletter is of interest to government officials, market professionals, lawyers, curators, researchers and collectors. A single issue contains technical items and background items for readers less familiar with the field.

Journalists may also subscribe, regardless of their accreditation. Embargoed mailings remain reserved for accredited journalists and do not appear in the newsletter.

Rhythm and calendar

The newsletter is sent once a month, on the first Tuesday, at nine o'clock Paris time. A special issue may be added on the occasion of the General Assembly or a major event; it is then announced in the previous issue.

Subscribers can choose to receive a single monthly issue or additional alerts on the themes that interest them. This choice is set in the preferences.

Commitments to subscribers

The Organisation undertakes to use the email address only to send the newsletter and the information requested. Addresses are neither sold nor transferred. Every message contains an unsubscribe link that works immediately.

The newsletter contains no advertising. Links to partners are identified as such and limited to the Organisation's cooperation agreements.
