Accurate and accessible documentation is the first step in any conservation effort.  As such, SAVE has either updated or created a wide range of existing conditions documentation on dozens of sites.  This work has ranged from basic “B-level” photographic and archival documentation to exhaustive “A-level” documentation which can include photographic, graphical, structural, architectural and photogrammetric records.

• Basilica at Soli mosaics and opus sectile, Morphou. SAVE carried out a complete catalog of the site, including graphical documentation, photographic documentation and a comprehensive site survey to accurately place the drawings onto the site plan. This work was published by SAVE in The Basilica at Soli, Cyprus: A Survey of the Buildings and Mosaics written by Dr. David Neal.

• Church of Sts. Peter and Paul – Sinan Paşa Mosque, Famagusta. SAVE carried out an exhaustive photographic record of existing conditions by leading conservation photographer, Patrick Godeau. This was followed by a detailed Structural Assessment, Site Survey and Photogrammetric Analysis by GBGeotechnics, Ltd., a leading international structural engineering firm.
