In 1935, under the Nationalist Government Executive Yuan in the Ping Political Organisation Committee, "the old capital of the cultural relics finishing committee" was formally established.[6] In 1949, it was renamed the "Beijing Cultural Relics Restoration Committee" and was transferred to the Cultural Relics Bureau of the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China.[7] In 1973, it was renamed the "Institute of Cultural Relics Protection Science and Technology."[8] In 1990, it merged with the Ancient Documents Research Office of the Ministry of Culture to become the "Institute of Cultural Relics of China." In August 2007, it was renamed "Chinese Academy of Cultural Heritage.”[9][10][11][12]
