MORE CONFERENCE NEWS!!!!
The Commonwealth Department of
Environment and Water Resources has come on board as a Platinum Sponsor of the
2007 Conference. They are also loaning the conference and the University their
new World Heritage Exhibition which will be shipped to us in Cairns immediately
after the World Heritage Committee Meeting in New Zealand. The Conference
Organising Committee is extremely grateful that the Department and the Minister
for the Environment has once again supported our conference.
The
Queensland Environmental Protection Agency and the Queensland Heritage Council
have also jointly come on board as a Platinum Sponsor and various officers of
these agencies have made contact with the Committee in regard to areas of
possible involvement. We are looking forward to getting firsthand involvement of
Queensland heritage specialists with a focus on the north in our
conference.
Other generous cash donations have been made by the
conference partner James Cook University and Godden Mackay Logan. The latter is
our first silver sponsor and it is great to see a private heritage company
supporting us in this way.
We are nearing our sponsorship target but
still have a little way to go. Any additional sponsorship we get above and
beyond our break even point will go to assisting with travel and accommodation
for delegates from Indigenous communities, International and national speakers
and ICOMOS Pasifika delegates. If you are interested in becoming a
sponsor, or know of any corporations or businesses that might be, our
sponsorship kit can be downloaded from the website www.aicomos.com,
The proposed Heritage Poster Exhibition is
developing into an exciting event in its own right. The addition of the World
Heritage Exhibition will provide a focal point for the exhibition and Gordon
Grimwade is also loaning his Photographic Exhibition of the Silk Road. A number
of individuals have indicated that they will be providing project posters but
more are sought. If you would like to present a poster please provide a brief
abstract of the poster via our on line submission process. This will allow us to
ensure we have enough exhibition space and can include the exhibit on our
exhibition list.
We are planning a formal exhibition launch with wine and
nibbles followed we hope by a Hungi and dancing provided by the Cook
Island community in Cairns. We are actively pursing sponsorship for this event
so that it will be free to delegates.
Our pre and post conference tours
are being finalised and details of costs etc will soon be on the
website.
Stay tuned as the excitement builds up!

2) ICOMOS International Scientific Committee
Australian
member vacancies
ICOMOS has established scientific
international committees on various cultural heritage themes and issues. Members
consist of international renowned expert specialists in each subject and
designated by their own national committee. The international scientific
committees are ICOMOS technical bodies. As such, they undertake research,
develop conservation theory, guidelines, and charters, and foster training for
better heritage conservation, promote international exchange of scientific
information and carry out common projects. They are governed by the Eger
principles (see www.international.icomos.org/eger_eng.htm).
The
Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee has been invited to seek nominations for
voting members on four ICOMOS International Scientific Committees. They
are:
·
ICARSAH -
International Committee on Analysis and Restoration of Structures of
Architectural Heritage
·
International
Committee on Wall Paintings
·
ISCEAH -
International Committee on Earthen Architectural Heritage
·
International
Committee on Fortifications and Military Heritage
To be nominated by
Australia ICOMOS for either full or associate membership of any International
Scientific Committee you are required to be a full member of Australia ICOMOS
which also has International membership.
Nominees must meet the criteria
laid down in the Australia ICOMOS Procedures Manual. In summary, those seeking
Full membership must have a strong record of involvement in relevant
professional activities at least at a national level of importance. Nominees for
Full membership must also be able to fund their own overseas travel to attend
ISC meetings. Regretfully neither Australia ICOMOS nor International ICOMOS are
able to offer any financial assistance to attend any of the International
Scientific Committee meetings.
The criteria for Corresponding or
Associate members of International Scientific Committees are less demanding and
there is no expectation of personal attendance at meetings.
Members of International Scientific Committee’s are expected to
report regularly to the general Australia ICOMOS membership on their ISC
activities. This enables other Australian members know about international
activities and advancement of knowledge Such reporting is particularly important
for the Annual Report presented to the Australia ICOMOS Annual General Meeting
each November, but other reports will be distributed through E-News.
It is anticipated that the Australia ICOMOS nominee(s) would
develop a national working group of interested members. This will assist the ISC
member and the Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee to respond to issues raised
by the ISC as well as to bring issues raised within Australia to the ISC's
attention.
Australia ICOMOS Members interested in being
nominated for either Full or Associate membership of any of these ISC should
contact Leah McKenzie, ISC Coordinator on the Australia ICOMOS Executive
Committee for further information (leah.mckenzie@bigpond.com).
An
application letter indicated your expertise in this area and a CV is required to
be submitted to the secretariat by 11 April 2007. This will enable the
nominations to be considered by the Australia ICOMOS executive at their April
meeting.

The goals of ISCEAH are a level of substantial activity and a
broad membership ready to share experiences and contribute to the development of
better practice and methods for the protection and conservation of the world’s
earthen architectural, archaeological and cultural landscape heritage. ISCEAH
encourages the participation of those who play an important role in shaping,
maintaining and conserving both the material and traditional knowledge
(intangible heritage) of the earthen architectural, archaeological and cultural
landscape heritage. Therefore, in addition to worldwide representation within
ICOMOS, ISCEAH will permit master masons and earth crafts persons to participate
on the Committee.
The objectives of the scientific program of ISCEAH are
focused on the following broad themes:
Theme 1: Conserving and studying the
standing, and perhaps in use, architectural heritage (vernacular, historic,
etc)
Theme 2: Conserving and studying the earthen archaeological environment;
this may also include standing structures
Theme 3: Cooperating in the process
of understanding the historic/traditional techniques of earthen structures
through research into materiality, including its impact on new earthen
construction
Theme 4: Researching the contribution of earthen architectural
heritage to cultural landscapes and its relation to the intangible heritage and
living traditions
Theme 5: Researching ancient/historic a-seismic techniques
and using these in addition to current research to inform retrofitting of
existing structures and appropriate new construction
