1) Seminar at Deakin University - Looking Behind the Mirror: Performance on Contemporary Arts Boards
 
Tuesday 27 May
from 4:30pm
 
Presenters:
Ruth Rentschler, Interim Head of School, School of Management and Marketing, Deakin University and Jennifer Radbourne, Head of School, School of Communication and Creative Arts, Deakin University.
 
This paper explores the relationship between performance and conformance on contemporary Australian arts boards. Recent approaches to governance are characterised by a focus on financial and legal control. This paper argues, however, that we should consider governance conformance and performance to be in a state of constant tension, rather than mutually exclusive governance processes. Using results from a survey and case studies of small to medium non-profit Victorian arts organisations enables us to review board performance in an area that has not received much attention in the debate. Brief coverage of the organisations' progression in the governance debate is provided. Comparisons are made with case studies in order to identify areas where additional research is required.
 
There is no entry charge and everyone is welcome
 
Venue: The Blue Room, Building B Room 2.20, Deakin University

3) ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on Earthen Architectural Heritage (ISCEAH) - Call for Expressions of Interest: 11th Terra Conference
 
The ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on Earthen Architectural Heritage (ISCEAH) is issuing a Call for Expressions of Interest to find organisations and countries to promote, host, run and administer the next international conference known as "Terra". The Terra conference, which occurs every three to five years approximately, is an international conference whose theme relates to the study and conservation of earthen architectural, archaeological and cultural landscape heritage. Terra 2008 took place in Bamako, Mali, lasted five days, was followed by post-conference tours, and was attended by approximately 450 people. The next Terra conference will be scheduled for 2012 so as not to coincide with the 17th ICOMOS General Assembly in 2011.
 
If anyone would like to see the document detailing the process and requirements for Expressions of Interest, it can be sent by email on request from the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat (austicomos@deakin.edu.au ).

4) Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts: Media Release - Minister affirms Nobbys Lighthouse decision
 
I have today informed the applicants for a proposed development next to the historic Nobbys Lighthouse in Newcastle of my decision not to allow this particular project because of the impacts it would have on the heritage values of the lighthouse.
 
My decision is made under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and follows wide consultation with the developers, business groups, heritage experts and the community, as well as a visit to the site earlier this year.
 
I have given full and thorough consideration to all of the information I have received through this process as well as the more than 450 written submissions made by the Newcastle community during a recent public consultation period.
 
On balance, I believe this particular development proposal would significantly damage the heritage values of this Newcastle icon and the oldest surviving lighthouse in New South Wales.
 
Sensitive developments around historic places can and do draw thousands of tourists to heritage sites around Australia.
 
However, it is important that any such development does not compromise what is so special about these historic and iconic places.
 
My decision is therefore based on the concerns I have for this particular proposal to impact on the heritage values of the lighthouse.
 
This decision does not mean there cannot be development of the site in the future.
 
I would like to thank all those who have contributed to this process and note that a common theme of the public submissions on the proposal was the desire of the people of Newcastle to have to access to Nobbys Lighthouse.
 
I support this sentiment but it is important in finding a way for the site to be more accessible that we do not do it in a way that damages the precious historical and heritage values of the lighthouse itself.
 
My Department will therefore be available to provide advice to ensure the heritage values of the lighthouse are fully considered in any future application or proposal to improve access to the site.

5) Contemporary and Historical Archaeology in Theory (CHAT): CHAT 2008 - Heritage CHAT, London - Call for Papers
 
'HERITAGE CHAT', London
 
14 - 16 November 2008
 
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON
 
Hosted by Atkins Heritage, English Heritage and UCL
 
Centre for Museums, Heritage and Material Culture
 
Concern for heritage of the recent past has long been confined to the particular interests of a sub-set of architectural historians for whom listing post-war buildings (notably of the reconstruction years) was a clear focus. Archaeologists are also now taking an active and enthusiastic interest in the modern period; the only surprise is that it has taken so long. After a steady start, and an almost inevitable concentration on industrial and military sites and landscapes, it has quickly become more than the fringe interest it perhaps once was, a side-show to the main attraction. In local planning authorities, archaeological units and trusts, as well as national agencies and universities, the heritage interest in contemporary and historical archaeology has now emerged with strength and alacrity. English Heritage's Change and Creation programme, in partnership with Atkins Heritage, and the universities of London and Bristol is evidence of this, as is the Images of Change book (Sefryn Penrose 2007), the recent Modern Times issue of Conservation Bulletin (2007), numerous published articles and several entries in the Heritage Reader (Fairclough et al. 2008). A head of steam is quickly building.
 
CHAT (Contemporary and Historical Archaeology in Theory) is a dynamic forum for innovative critical discussion that seeks to challenge and push the limits of archaeological thinking. To date this has been achieved through five annual conferences, publications and an active email discussion group. This year's conference takes CHAT in a new direction, exploring connections between these theoretical perspectives and ideals and the more traditional concerns of heritage management practice. What can CHAT offer heritage practitioners, and vice versa? How much of heritage management practice holds relevance to CHAT? Should
the heritage sector retain its focus on that which is 'old' and 'special', or should we feel comfortable with a broader remit, accepting that what we have today (inherited from the past, and what we create and manufacture ourselves) is part of the longer-term process of change with which we, as archaeologists, are closely familiar? CHAT presents particular challenges for heritage practitioners and agencies: Value judgements for that which is new and unfamiliar, amongst culturally diverse communities, and the attendant issues of migrant heritage; traditional conceptions and practices for recording buildings versus the aesthetic and the evocative; the archaeology of the ephemeral, the intangible and the un-built, all things that are harder to trace in earlier periods; and how inter- or cross-disciplinary should we be? In a world of accountability, research frameworks and national research agenda, where should our priorities actually lie? What should a research strategy for contemporary and historical archaeology contain? And who is best qualified to do this work: archaeologists, or anthropologists, cultural geographers ... artists and writers even?
 
Heritage CHAT provides an opportunity to examine some of these issues at close range, through plenary sessions that will contain theoretical and methodological perspectives on contemporary and historical archaeology, and examples of work in progress that address relevant themes. Papers are encouraged that challenge the very notion of heritage, and the commercial and corporate strategies that go with it, as are papers describing work on contemporary and historical archaeology which operate within more conventional heritage frameworks. Short (450 word) abstracts should be submitted to any of the organising committee (below) by email, by the end of May 2008.

7) Streetwise Asia Update - Tax Deductible Donations Sought Pre End Financial Year
 
The Streetwise Asia Fund has now been in operation for more than a year. This is modest not for profit fund which aims to provide grass roots assistance to conservation projects in Asia, also providing educational and community benefits. The first project is now nearly completed.  Another key objective for the Fund is to provide opportunities for heritage professionals to travel in Asia and become involved in voluntary conservation work assisting with heritage projects. For the first project, Anthony Coupe, a South Australian ICOMOS member and his wife Felicity volunteered, and with their 12 year old son, travelled to Laos in October 2007.  Laos had been suggested by the UNESCO Bangkok Office as there were possible projects identified which required financial support. They travelled to Laos assessing four possible projects and then prepared a report which identified the Community Library and Learning Resource Centre within the Vat Phou Champasak World Heritage Area, an area which was World Heritage Listed in 2001. The building had been vacant for some time and was in a state of decay.  Constructed in the 1930s, it is of a traditional French Colonial style and sits amongst traditional Lao style raised timber houses. The project had received some partial funding provided through the Lerici Foundation and there was a shortfall, with no available budget for re-roofing. As an initial project for the Streetwise Fund it was ideal - as the project management structure had already been established, and other works were underway. Photographs have just been received of the nearly completed project and Liz Vines is able to email interested parties copies of these.
 
The project funding allocation was A$13,000 which included assistance provided for a local architect from Laos to supervise the works.
 
We are now investigating other projects, but the fund requires topping up!! Established initially through the sale of the Streetwise Asia publication, many ICOMOS members have generously contributed to the fund, and this has been the main source of donations. The fund gains its tax effective status by operating under the umbrella of Australind Children's Fund, a South Australian Charity established to provide assistance for educational and health facilities in 3rd world countries focusing at present in Chennai, India and the Streetwise projects are very complementary.
 
Please contact Liz Vines on liz@mcdougallvines.com.au (or mob 0419 816 525), who will email you the donation details and any other details you may require.
 
Thank you again for your generosity - in anticipation!!!
 
PS Kristal Buckley, our International Vice President, will be presenting a paper at the end of May on the Streetwise initiative at the forthcoming ICOMOS conference in Washington, which has as its theme "Developing a comprehensive approach to US participation in the global heritage community".

11) Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts: Media Release - Heritage Recognition for Indigenous Protest Site
 
The site of one of the most important moments in Australia's Indigenous story, Sydney's Cyprus Hellene Club, has been awarded the nation's highest heritage honour with inclusion in the National Heritage List.
 
The Club houses Australian Hall, the venue of the Day of Mourning, a historic day for Indigenous peoples' struggle for equality.
 
Heritage Minister, Peter Garrett, said the site was important to all Australians.
 
"This small building tucked into Elizabeth Street was the scene of an event that brought social justice issues to the forefront," he said.
 
"In the 20s and 30s Aboriginal people had limited freedom - they were subject to laws that impacted on their ability to find jobs, get equal wages and buy property. These issues united groups like the Aboriginal Protection Board and Aboriginal Advancement League.
 
"On 26 January 1938 - Australia Day - over 100 members and others from NSW, Victoria and Queensland walked to Australian Hall to mark the first Day of Mourning. Many risked their jobs and even prison to make their voice heard.
 
"This was not only the first national Indigenous protest action but also the first time Indigenous people identified issues affecting their lives and proposed recommendations for addressing these issues through government action.
 
"Leaders Jack Patten and William Ferguson also published a pamphlet asking '...for justice, fair play and decency...include us, fully and equally...in the body of the Australian nation'. (Paten et al 1938).
 
"Their plea and the protest itself had a lasting impact on national Indigenous policy reforms, playing a major role in the constitutional amendments of the May 1967 referendum, nearly 30 years later.
 
"National Heritage listing for the Cyprus Hellene Club-Australian Hall sends a powerful message of our appreciation for what it represents - past, present and future."
 
The Australian Government's National Heritage List showcases the natural, historic and Indigenous places of outstanding heritage value to us all. The List reflects the story of our development as a nation, our spirit and ingenuity and our unique, living landscapes.
 
The Cyprus Hellene Club-Australian Hall joins 17 New South Wales sites on the List including the Brewarrina Aboriginal fish traps, Warrumbungle National Park and the Sydney Opera House. Today's announcement increases the number of listed sites to 78. For more information, visit www.environment.gov.au/heritage.

Available at http://www.icomos.org/studies/cultural-landscapes-pacific.htm
 
2. Historic heritage thematic frameworks: their use as tools for management and interpretation
By Peter Clayworth
Science for Conservation 285. 56 p.
 
What's it about?
A thematic framework is a device that helps conceptualise history and place sites, people and events in their historical contexts. It has been suggested that management and interpretation systems for historic heritage in the New Zealand Department of Conservation (DOC) would be substantially improved by the adoption of an effective thematic framework. This paper investigates the use and effectiveness of thematic frameworks in the USA, Canada and Australia, and examines how they are used in selecting and managing a 'representative' range of historic heritage sites in these countries. Previous attempts by heritage management bodies to adopt and use thematic frameworks in New Zealand are briefly outlined. Potential problems that may arise from the adoption of models developed in other countries are discussed, along with lessons learnt from previous local applications of thematic schemes. This study found limited evidence of how effective thematic frameworks have been in achieving their stated goals, but does recommend that DOC should adopt a thematic framework for historic heritage. However, DOC needs to be aware of the limitations of such a framework. Any framework adopted needs to be a flexible tool that is used in conjunction with other management and interpretation methods.

13) Lisa Ackerman receives US/ICOMOS 2008 Ann Webster Smith Laureate
 
US/ICOMOS is pleased to announce the selection of Lisa Ackerman as the 2008 recipient of the Ann Webster Smith Award for International Heritage Achievement. The Award was instituted by US/ICOMOS in 2007 to honour an American individual, group of persons or institution, in the public or private sector, for extraordinary and sustained achievement in perpetuating the lasting spirit of Ann Webster Smith's vision to make the United States a respected partner and trustworthy pillar to support the conservation of the cultural heritage in all parts of the world. Ms Ackerman is the first Ann Webster Smith laureate, and will be presented the Award on May 29th, during the opening ceremonies of the US/ICOMOS International Symposium at the Grosvenor Auditorium of the National Geographic Society in Washington, DC.
 
Ms Ackerman's accomplishments are, as were Ann Webster Smith's, prolific, varied and unswervingly focused on the goal of protecting cultural heritage. Both of these remarkable women have advanced not just conservation practice but, through their vision and capacity to implement it with clarity, have propelled hundreds of young aspirants into the world of heritage conservation. Quietly but relentlessly, Ms Ackerman has supported and advanced international cooperation for the protection of the cultural and artistic heritage of humanity through her enduring participation in and support for US/ICOMOS; through her volunteer work with numerous cultural organizations in the United States and abroad; and from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation in New York, where she served as Program Administrator, Chief Administrative Officer, Vice President and Executive Vice President. Her work on the Board of US/ICOMOS is emblematic of the larger role she plays. She was invaluable as an advisor who knew more than the subject matter imbedded in the organization's mission statement; she knew the means and methods of achieving it; and understood the need to balance finances, planning, politics and the aspirations of individuals.
 
Ms Ackerman's sustained achievements in the field of cultural heritage will continue from her new position of Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of World Monuments Fund in New York. It is another significant step in a brilliant career moulded and refined at Middlebury College, New York University and the Pratt Institute; a career that has, in turn, influenced, moulded and refined countless other students of the arts as well as professionals in ICOMOS and ICCROM, and at the National Gallery of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, The Lincoln Center Institute, Columbia University, The New York Preservation Archive, The Historic House Trust of New York and, of course, the United States Committee of the International Council on Monuments and Sites.
 
Over 600 young and mid-career professionals from more than 70 countries have benefited directly from Ms Ackerman's unwavering interest in the US/ICOMOS International Exchange Program, and in many of the individual interns. She understands that the trans-cultural exchange of ideas is not just good for conserving heritage; it is fundamental to co-existence on the planet.
 
The Ann Webster Smith Award will be given annually, commemorates the work and achievements of US/ICOMOS Chair Emerita Ann Webster Smith as a model world citizen and champion in building a global culture of protection for the cultural heritage of the entire world. For three decades Ms Smith was at the very core of the dreamers and doers who nurtured ICOMOS to its maturity, personifying a spirit of cooperation and teamwork. A true visionary never fearing change for the sake of improvement, Ann Webster Smith conceptualized, supported and enabled numerous cultural programs for international cooperation; influenced major decision-makers both in the United States and overseas towards the preservation ethic; steered private and public funds for the support of international preservation initiatives; and mentored dozens of young preservationists into their full professional capacity, gently leading them into key leadership positions.
