The project has led to the creation of preservation by record archives of 14 sites of White Sea rock art, and has also investigated heritage aspects of rock art preservation in post-Soviet Russia.
One of the outcomes of this collaboration is the exhibition in the Ulsan Petroglyphs Museum entitled, "The Rock Art of the White Sea".
