3) Visiting Canadian archaeologist
& heritage consultant, Gail Sussman: lecture and discussion
Australia ICOMOS and the National Trust invite
you to a lecture and discussion
Monday 26th November at the National Trust 5.30pm for 6pm start
Who Pays? Conservation, Capacity Building and Corporate Social
Responsibility
Gail Sussman
Corporate Social Responsibility programs of industry can support
training for cultural heritage staff in developing countries.
Training/work initiatives for indigenous peoples are also part of the
"who pays" question. The presentation will flow into the
advocacy for a cultural heritage policy document for the mining industry
and potential programs coming out of those policies. A case study will
show how a listed, 16th century, adobe church in S. America, was located
over a silver deposit, resulting it being and reconstituted as a poured
concrete/stone structure with national culture ministry approval.
* What is the role of ICOMOS in protecting sites that are not yet
on the world heritage list?
* How can the capacity of government workers in developing
countries be strengthened in applying conservation principles to
internationally based development projects?
* How can industry be engaged to support conservation projects
through their corporate social responsibility programs?
* How to provide employment for indigenous peoples in preserving
their cultural heritage?
* Engagement, consultation, involvement: What do these terms mean
for Indigenous peoples in highly developed countries such as Canada and
Australia?

5) Call for Papers:
Australian Maritime Museums Council Annual Conference
‘Managing the future of historic vessels’
Saturday
8thMarch
9.30am-4.30pm
The approaches to historic ship conservation are many and varied.
Restoring to operating condition and the continued social practice and
‘living history’ embodied in such vessels brings with it issues of marine
safety and survey and the associated loss of original material, whilst
the preservation of historic vessels as objects, whether ‘dry’ or afloat,
raises issues of interpretation and engagement with the visitor that have
long been discussed within the historic house sector.
This one day conference aims to critically examine the issues involved,
as well as report on practical examples of historic boat conservation. It
will be of interest to a wide range of people including: professional
boat builders, conservators and museum and heritage professionals,
academics, historic boat owners and enthusiasts and all those interested
in maritime heritage.
The conference is organised around a number of themes for which proposals
for papers are now sought. These are:
·
Interpreting historic vessels to new
audiences
·
International
perspectives on historic ship conservation
·
Teaching and
learning traditional skills
·
The conservation
process and it applicability to historic vessels
·
Examples of
specific ship conservation projects
Proposals for papers on other aspects of the conservation of historic
vessels are welcomed and will be considered.
The conference forms a part of the Classic and Wooden Boat Festival to be
held in Sydney from 8-9 March 2008. Registration for the conference
includes entry into the festival. Further details will be available
shortly.
The conference is supported by the Australian National Maritime
Museum.
Offers of papers(including a maximum 200 word abstract) should be sent
by Monday 17thDecember

Steven Cooke (National Trust of Australia (Victoria) email:
