The aim of the article is to emphasize the importance and possibilities of higher education as a resource for the development of ecological models and policies for protection of cultural heritage. The global environmental crisis has led to the emergence and entry of the environmental concept in all spheres of science and public life. The socio-cultural-historical institute (archive, library, museum ) realized the need for new strategies and tools for management and preservation of the cultural heritage, related to the greening of the culture. The ecological socio-cultural-historical activity puts emphasis on the creation of conditions for the preparation of modern, professionally trained staff, using non-toxic preparations in the conservation-restoration intervention. Recently, there has been a growing awareness among conservative restorers of the need for environmental sustainability, and progress has been made towards this goal. Many institutions use the carbon footprint as a measure of carbon emissions and a means of determining and maintaining their impact on the environment. A number of simple immediate measures can be identified that can be taken by conservator-restorers to reduce the environmental impact of their practice. Using existing policies for the environmental sustainability of libraries, archives and museums as a guide, these measures are presented in the form of criteria for introducing steps that can be followed to achieve best practices.

One of the important tasks of academic education is through the testing of different types of practices to open up to students the opportunities to apply a series of principles and mechanisms that contribute to the realization of established views and policies. The combination of theory and practice is of utmost importance in the modern world. In this sense, the university centers in Bulgaria, which aim at providing knowledge in the field of conservation and promoting the promotion of the written cultural heritage, are becoming a new important tool for the transfer of traditional knowledge and its learning by different generations. Priorities and contemporary environmental approaches to teaching the discipline are outlined “Conservation and Restoration of Documents", in line with the European achievements for better competencies and validating UniBIT as a major national, educational and research institution, and turning it into an integral part of the European educational and scientific space.
