International National Trust Organization (INTO) is a forum
that enables conservation specialists from around the world to share experiences
and best practices, to develop collective strategies, to promote international
cooperation, and to build the capacity of new and emerging Trusts. INTO meets
every two years to exchange ideas of heritage management, conservation and
latest technologies applied in this field and other related issues. The last two
international conferences were held in Washington, D.C. in 2005 (hosted by the
U.S. National Trust for Historic Preservation, with 175 international
participants), and in Edinburgh in 2003 (hosted by the National Trust for
Scotland, with representation from over 40 countries).

Edinburgh and Washington meetings, organized a regional chapter for the Asia-
Pacific region, and become an active member of the INTO steering and planning
committees. INTACH was founded in 1984 in New Delhi with the vision to stimulate
and spearhead heritage awareness and conservation in India. INTACH is today the

4) Call for Papers
New
Ground:
Australasian Archaeology Conference 2007
www.newground.org.au
University of Sydney,
Sydney, Australia
2126 September 2007
Extension of CALL FOR
PAPERS - (Closing date:21 May 2007) -
Due to the variety and number
of new sessions proposed for the conference we have extended the call for papers
until the 21st of May 2007.
This is also a reminder to session
organisers that individual submissions must be completed for all papers.
People have embraced the ideas of 'New Ground' and the sessions are
looking very exciting. A special emphasis, on this 50th anniversary of the death
of Gordon Childe, will be on 'synthesis'. The majority of sessions are designed
to encourage cross-cutting participation and in particular we encourage new
graduates and infrequent conference-goers to attend. The heart of the conference
will be on how together we can break “new ground”.
As previously
mentioned New Ground: Australasian Archaeology Conference 2007 will
combine the annual conferences of the Australasian Institute for Maritime
Archaeology Inc (AIMA), the Australasian Society for Historical Archaeology
(ASHA), the Australian Archaeological Association Inc (AAA) and the Australian
Association for Maritime History Inc (AAMH). The Australian Association of
Consulting Archaeologists Inc (AACAI) is also formally involved in the
conference, with participation by the Australian Rock Art Association (AURA).
The conference will be held on the beautiful and easily accessible Camperdown
campus of the University of Sydney.
A list of all the sessions is on the
website www.newground.org.au and a draft timetable will
shortly be available.
Paper submissions will be accepted via an online
form accessible from the website.

National Park Service News Release
Award Winning
Preservation Website Available to All During the Month of May
WASHINGTON,
DC In celebration of National Preservation Month, the complete resources
of the Historic Preservation Learning Portal will be offered to the general
public throughout the month of May. The website http://www.historicpreservation.gov provides a
single access point to acquire information from more than 3,000 sources on
historic preservation records, news, training, laws, regulations, policies, case
studies, and projects. It was originally designed to supply historic
preservation information to 75 different federal, state, local, and tribal
agencies.
Basic information from the website can be attained without a
password, although acquiring one will permit access to all portal functions and
allow users to receive up-dates and save searches. Password directions can be
found in the ‘Login’ section of the homepage. Passwords were previously limited
to government or military email accounts. At the end of May, a decision will be
made on whether or not to restrict passwords again.
The Historic
Preservation Learning Portal is a co-operative, inter-agency project designed by
the National Park Service in partnership with 17 other federal agencies. The
portal is the only internet site that can locate and organize cultural resources
information from around the world regardless of language or data format.
‘The
portal allows people to learn about similar projects, lessons learned, and best
practices before they embark on their own project,’ says Constance Ramirez,
Director of the National Park Service’s Federal Preservation Institute. ‘People
no longer have to learn by trial and error when preserving our nation’s most
significant structures.’
The portal received a 2007 Laureate Award by the
ComputerWorld Honors Program. The program recognizes organizations and
institutions which play a leading role in the world’s information technology
revolution and create the best global practices.
The agencies that have
contributed funding for the development of the portal are the National Park
Service, National Center for Preservation Technology and Training, Advisory
Council on Historic Preservation, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of
Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Bureau for Immigrant and
Customs Enforcement, U.S. Forest Service, Farm Service Agency, Natural Resources
Conservation Service, Department of Transportation, Federal Highway
Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Housing and Urban
Development, U.S. Postal Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Coast Guard,
U.S. Geological Survey, and the U.S. Naval Academy.
