1) Forthcoming Conferences
The 16th ICOMOS General Assembly will be held in Quebec,
Canada from 29th September to 4th October 2008. Because many
Australia ICOMOS members are expected to attend, there will not be an
Australia ICOMOS annual conference in 2008. Instead Australia ICOMOS is
supporting a symposium on Intangible Heritage organised by the National
Trust of Australia (Vic) in association with Deakin University's Cultural
Heritage Centre for Asia and the Pacific to be held in Melbourne from 1st
to 2nd July 2008. A range of leading national and international
speakers will be invited. Tours will be arranged for 3rd July.
These will be organised to complement the 25th annual Society of
Architectural Historians Australia and New Zealand (SAHANZ) conference to
be held at Deakin University, Geelong from 3rd to 6th July. The theme of
the conference will be around ‘History and Practice’, bringing together
historians, theoreticians and heritage practitioners to celebrate the
Society’s twenty-fifth anniversary. A call for papers will be made after
the 2007 SAHANZ Conference ‘Panorama to Paradise’ to be held in Adelaide
from 21st - 24th September. Australia ICOMOS members will be advised and
able to submit abstracts.
The 2009 annual Australia ICOMOS conference will be held in Sydney in
July. The theme will be ‘Twentieth Century Heritage’ and the
conference partners will be DOCOMOMO, UIA, mAAN, APT, the Art Deco
Society and the Walter Burley Griffin Society. The ICOMOS
International Scientific Committee on Twentieth Century Heritage will be
meeting in Sydney as part of this conference. Conference and
meeting enquiries to Sheridan Burke at
Sheridanb@gml.com.au
The 2010 Annual Australia ICOMOS Conference is tentatively
planned for Broken Hill in November with Industrial Heritage as the
theme. It is hoped that appropriate ICOMOS ISC meetings can be arranged
to coincide with each of the conferences.
Enquiries about the NTA (Vic) Symposium should be directed to Dr
Celestina Sagazio,
Celestina.sagazio@nattrust.com.au.
Enquiries about the SAHANZ Conference can be directed to Dr Ursula De
Jong, ursuladj@deakin.edu.au.
