Move all historical artifacts to an island that is far away from any potential warzones.



Between the articles of ISIS destroying historical objects, Afghanistan destroying a Buddhist site for a copper mine, and the hidden lost  archives of the British museum; I'm thinking that we need a place to keep our history safe.

So I propose that we find a nice sized island that is free from most major natural disasters, in a climate that is good for preservation, and is distant from potential hotspots. We then start moving artifacts or even entire structures to this location, at which point replications are created by 3D printers and sent to museums for mass consumption. I was thinking something like St. Helena: isolated, dry, small population, and few natural disasters. This could then become an UNESCO controlled area to allow for international studies to be conducted in peace.
