The Australia ICOMOS Executive
Committee is delighted to announce that a travel assistance fund is available
this year to provide financial assistance to ISC members wishing to attend
meetings of their ISC.

2) MayDay!
MayDay! MayDay!
During the month of May, Blue Shield Australia is encouraging
archives, galleries, libraries, museums, cultural heritage sites and organisations
across the country to participate in MayDay - a national campaign for
the protection of cultural heritage from disaster.
MayDay aims to raise awareness about disaster
preparedness and to encourage people to perform at least one disaster-preparedness
task in May each year. There are many types of emergencies that we can be
better prepared for, from the potential impact of faulty electrical wiring in
the building next door, to bushfires, cyclones or even internal or external
floods.
The MayDay concept originated with the Society of
American Archivists (SAA) in 2006.
MayDay Australia 2009
We encourage you to promote MayDay to your colleagues
by posting the MayDay 2009 flier on notice boards in your organisation,
and by discussing what you will do to mark MayDay on 1 May 2009, and
throughout the month of May.
In 2009 we are making a Media Kit available to help you
promote your selected MayDay 2009 activity. Obtain this Kit by sending a
request to: blueshield@collectionscouncil.com.au.
Be sure to send a copy of any articles you prepare to this email address too,
so that Blue Shield Australia can help with promotion. We would also like to
hear about the 'lessons learnt' from disasters that have affected your
organization. Photographs are very welcome!
In the wake of Victorian bushfires and Queensland floods, we
are advising cultural heritage practitioners to consider the level of
protection offered by storage facilities this year - and plan to build safer
repositories for the future.
What should I do?
The flier is available at the
following webpage:
http://www.collectionscouncil.com.au/Portals/0/MayDay%202009%20on%20BSA%20flier.pdf
Then it's
just a matter of acting upon one or more of the suggested activities. Here are
some of the suggestions from this year's flier:
·
Get
to know your local firefighters and police, and invite them to tour your
organisation and give you pointers on safety and preparedness.
·
Identify
the three biggest risks to your collection or heritage site.
·
Find
a 'partner' heritage organisation to work with in case of a disaster. A model
for collaboration is DIS-ACT: http://www.anbg.gov.au/disact/
What is the Blue Shield?
The Blue Shield
is the cultural equivalent of the Red Cross. It is the symbol specified in the
1954 Hague Convention for marking cultural sites to give them protection from
attack in the event of armed conflict. It is also the name of an international
committee set up in 1996 to work to protect the world's cultural heritage
threatened by wars and natural disasters.
Blue Shield
Committees around the globe comprise four international cultural heritage
'pillar' bodies -
International
Council on Archives (ICA);
International
Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS);
International
Council of Museums (ICOM); and
International
Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA).
In
Australia, these pillar bodies are represented respectively as follows: Council
of Australasian Archives and Records Authorities (CAARA); Australia ICOMOS;
ICOM Australia; Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA).

3) World Monuments Day event in
QLD
Gerry Cummins and Jill Stehn, stained glass artists,
conservators, and fabricators extraordinaire, (and AICOMOS members) opened
their studio in the beautiful countryside outside Eumundi for a series of talks
and demonstrations.
A highlight of their current works is the restoration of the
Harry Clarke windows from the St Stephens Cathedral in Brisbane. One of
their open days coincided with World Monuments Day, and a few Brisbane members
drove up to Eumundi. Many of the 40 attendees were the guides of St Stephens.
Gerry talked and answered
our questions for over 1.5 hours, covering the types of glass used and their
manufacture (only mouth blown antique, glass used in this studio), techniques of
plating different coloured glass together, acid etching, painting the glass,
the firing, and so on. He also talked about Harry Clarke the Irish glass
artist of early 20th century. The St Stephens windows, commissioned by
Archbishop Duhig, ca 1930s, are the only Harry Clarke works
in Australia. We also saw some of the studios new works and other
restoration projects. Jill demonstrated the leadlight construction
technique.
It was a most interesting, instructive and enjoyable time for
all of us at the studio.
Many thanks to Gerry and Jill.

4) Call for Australia ICOMOS members to contribute
to International Scientific Committees
Australia ICOMOS is calling
for expressions of interest from Full International Members to be
considered for nomination to an International Scientific Committee (ISC).
Expressions of interest should be sent to the Secretariat and the ISC
Coordinator, and include a resume with particular reference to your credentials
in the specific field of the ISC for which you seek nomination, and a statement
on why you wish to be involved, and whether you seek to be nominated as an
Expert or Associate member. Please note that the endorsement of your
nomination by Australia ICOMOS is no guarantee of your acceptance by the
relevant ISC, and that the timing of the consideration of your membership will
vary from committee to committee, according to their own rules.
Nominees must meet the
criteria laid down in the Australia ICOMOS Procedures Manual. In summary, those
seeking Expert membership must have a strong record of involvement in relevant
professional activities at least at a national level of importance. Nominees
for Expert membership must also be able to fund their own overseas travel to
attend ISC meetings. The criteria for Associate members are less demanding and
there is no expectation of personal attendance at meetings. Members of ISCs are
expected to report regularly to the general Australia ICOMOS membership on
their ISC activities. Such reporting is particularly important for the Annual
Report presented to the Australia ICOMOS Annual General Meeting each November,
which is coordinated by the voting member, but other reports will be
distributed through E-News.
Please send your expression
of interest to the Secretariat no later than Friday 8 May 2009 (email to
austicomos@deakin.edu.au with a copy to janea@ainsworthheritage.com.au), so that it can be reviewed
in time for the Executive Committee to consider the nomination at its meeting
in Canberra on 16 and 17 May 2009.
The ISCs are:
• Earthen Architectural
Heritage (ISCEAH)
•
International Committee for Analysis and Restoration of Structures and
Architectural Heritage (ISCARSAH)
•

Further information is
available from the ISC web sites (through the ICOMOS International web site www.icomos.org) or the Australia ICOMOS ISC
Coordinator, Jane Ainsworth (janea@ainsworthheritage.com.au).
Background to the ISCs
The 15th General Assembly of
ICOMOS, held in Xi'an China in 2005, adopted the Eger-Xi'an Principles, one
objective of which is to open up the membership of International Scientific
Committees (ISCs).
Within the global structures
of ICOMOS, the ISCs are expected to be at the heart of scientific inquiry
and exchange in their domains. They therefore complement the roles of
ICOMOS National Committees. To perform their role adequately, the ISCs need to
contain expert members that span the breadth of their subject, and to be
geographically and culturally diverse.
Australia ICOMOS is already
well represented on several ISCs. However, there are currently a number of ISCs
with no Australian members, and other ISCs that are seeking new members. Until
the changes made by the Eger-Xi'an Principles, the ability of Australia ICOMOS
members to participate in the ISCs was relatively limited. Australia ICOMOS has
therefore welcomed the reforms and is now keen to encourage all its Full
International Members to join an ISC in which they have a particular interest.
Although the Eger-Xi'an
Principles allow prospective ISC members to nominate themselves or to be
invited to join directly by an ISC, the Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee
has reaffirmed its preference to continue the process of nominating candidates
for membership of ISCs. The Executive Committee feels that this process assists
both the ISC and the candidate by providing an independent opinion on the
standing and credit of nominees in the field of the ISC within their own
country. In addition, within an ISC, each country is allocated one voting
member and to be given this opportunity your membership on the ISC must be
endorsed by the Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee.

8) Economic
Stimulus Package Funding for Heritage
The following information comes from http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/programs/jobs-fund/index.html
Heritage Projects (Jobs Fund)
The Australian Government is providing $60 million for
heritage projects as part of its $650 million Jobs Fund.
§ This
program will include a number of separate components focused on protecting,
conserving and promoting:
§ National
Heritage-listed places - a total of $16 million, with individual grants of
$50,000 to $2 million.
§ National
Trust properties - a total of $12 million, with individual grants of $20,000 to
$2 million.
§ Community
heritage places (large projects) of local, state or national significance - a
total of $11.4 million, with individual grants of $100,000 to $2 million.
§ Community
heritage places (small projects) - a total of $10 million, with individual
grants of $20,000 to $100,000.
§ Natural
heritage places, particularly World Heritage - a total of $8.6 million, with
individual grants of $200,000 to $2 million.
What are the benefits of this program?
As well as heritage benefits, this large investment in
Australia's historic, Indigenous and natural heritage will provide employment
and economic stimulus, particularly in areas experiencing high unemployment.
Funding will also improve heritage infrastructure and bring increased value and
opportunities to our heritage places.
§ Projects
will be expected to provide ongoing social and economic benefits to the
community, by increasing tourism for example, or by improving public access or
use of a heritage place.
§ Australian
businesses will also benefit by providing the specialist technical skills and
the materials required to undertake the heritage works.
When will this funding be delivered?
§ A
number of high quality heritage projects have already been identified by the
Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts and will commence
before the end of June 2009. $6 million of the total $60 million will be spent
by the end of the 2008-09 financial year to ensure immediate benefits start to
flow to communities.
§ A
public call for applications to be funded from the beginning of the 2009-2010
financial year has also been made. Visit www.deewr.gov.au
for more information.
§ Heritage
projects must be completed by 30 June 2010.
What are the criteria for projects?
All proposals must meet the following 'gateway criteria':
1.
Projects are in areas experiencing high unemployment, a
significant rise in unemployment or employment or economic vulnerability
2.
Projects must be viable and ready to start
3.
Funding for heritage projects will not extend past 2009-10.
Projects will be expected to be self-sufficient and/or not require Commonwealth
funding beyond 30 June 2010.
Heritage projects will also need to deliver positive heritage
outcomes. Issues which will be taken into consideration in assessing heritage outcomes
include:
§ does
the project contribute to the heritage values of a place, including
conservation, protection, adaptation or interpretation works?
§ is
the project consistent with the principles of the Burra Charter, management
plans currently in place, and state, territory and Commonwealth legislation?
§ does
the project provide ongoing direct and indirect social and economic benefits in
the community, such as by increasing tourism, or increasing the appropriate
utilisation/value/rental returns of heritage properties?
§ to
what extent does the project contribute to one or more of the priority heritage
themes ('A Free and Fair Australia'; 'Peopling a Nation'; and 'Diversity of
Landscapes') identified by the Australian Heritage Council, and include
elements designed to promote awareness of the activity, and of the social and
economic value of the heritage property?
Where do I get more information?
For more information and application guidelines visit the
Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations at www.deewr.gov.au
Alternatively, you can contact the Heritage Projects Section
on email heritagegrants@environment.gov.au

9) DEWHA media release: Jobs
Fund Boost for our First National Heritage Listed Place
Budj Bim National Heritage Landscape - the first place
included in Australia's National Heritage List - will be the first place to
receive part of the $60 million in heritage funding under the Government's Jobs
Fund, Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts, Peter Garrett, said
today.
Visiting Budj Bim in South-Western Victoria, Mr Garrett said
the Government's $60 million investment in Australia's historic, Indigenous and
natural heritage will provide real economic stimulus by focusing on projects
that have an immediate employment impact, as well as ongoing economic benefits.
"It gives me great pleasure to announce that in recognition
of Budj Bim's remarkable cultural and heritage value, today it racks up another
'first' with just over $360 000 to be provided to the Gunditj Mirring
Traditional Owners and the Winda Mara Aboriginal Corporations for a new and
exciting project - the Budj Bim Tracks," Mr Garrett said.
"This is a project that is ready to begin immediately and
will create jobs for the community - both now and into the future. It is
a prime example of the types of investment in our heritage places and in our
communities that the Government will make with this $60 million fund," Mr
Garrett said.
The Budj Bim Tracks project will allow people to bushwalk or
bike ride from the Mount Eccles Visitor Centre through Allambie, Lake Condah
and return and will include track construction and improvement, and the
development of interpretation and directional signage.
"The new construction work is expected to support local
business, support jobs in the area, and also provide for future employment
opportunities through increased tourism, particularly for local Gunditjmara
people.
"The story of Budj Bim and the Gunditjmara people who live in
the region are intimately linked to the volcanic eruption of Mount Eccles
around 30,000 years ago. The Gunditjmara people took advantage of the changing
environment to develop the landscape into an ingenious system of channels,
fishtraps and weirs, providing the basis for one of the world's oldest known
aquaculture systems and one of Australia's earliest settled societies.
"Thousands of years later, this forward-thinking Aboriginal
community continues to take advantage of the environment and heritage value of
this unique landscape to provide economic growth in this part of Australia."
Budj Bim was included in Australia's National Heritage List -
which recognises and protects our most valued natural, Indigenous and historic
heritage places - on 20 July 2004.
The $60 million for community heritage projects has been
developed in consultation with Senator Bob Brown as part of the Government's
$42 billion Nation Building - Economic Stimulus Plan.

10) Protection
for a significant piece of wartime history
The WWII shipwreck Florence D is now protected under
the Commonwealth's Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976 after its discovery was
confirmed in waters off Bathurst Island, following important work by a
Territory Government department.
The maritime archaeology team from the Heritage branch of the
Department of Natural Resources, Environment, The Arts and Sport played a key
role in confirming the discovery of the ship earlier this year by Darwin
fisherman Wayne Keeping and diver Jim Miles.
The 2600 tonne merchant ship Florence D was sunk by Japanese
bombers returning from the first air attack on Darwin on February 19, 1942.
Three crew members and a US Navy member rescued earlier from
a Catalina died in the attack, while 30 survivors travelled to Bathurst Island
on a life boat and were rescued three days later.
Heritage Minister Alison Anderson said it was vital that
structural reminders of significant events in history were preserved, and
congratulated those involved in the ship's discovery.
"Assessment by my Department's Heritage branch has shown
that the Florence D is a significant piece of history, and also an
important memorial to those who lost their lives in the attack on Darwin and
its surrounding waters," Ms Anderson said.
Federal Heritage Minister Peter Garrett has announced that a
protected zone is now in place under the Historic Shipwrecks Act, which will
control access at the site so that it can continue to be part of Australia's
heritage.
"The Historic Shipwrecks Act protects Australia's
historic shipwrecks and is administered by the Australian Government in
cooperation with the States and Territories," Minister Garrett said.
"With more than 7,500 shipwrecks scattered off our
beautiful but sometimes treacherous coastline it is vital that we continue to
work together with State and Territory government partners to protect and
preserve these wrecks and their relics, which are often only windows to
understanding important aspects of our nation's history."
Federal Member for Lingiari, the Hon. Warren Snowdon MP, said
it's important the nation recognises Australia's history in and around the
Northern Territory.
"The story of Florence D and her final resting
place by Bathurst Island is part of the Territory's and the whole nation's
World War II history, and it deserves to be remembered, retold, and the wreck
protected."

11) US 20th Century Legacy in
Danger
Recently the United States National Trust for Historic Preservation
unveiled the 2009 list of America's most Endangered Historic Places in the USA.
This year's list is associated with themes such as Public Lands,
infrastructure, diversity, community revitalization, Modernism + the
Recent Past, Heritage Tourism, and Sustainability.
Members of the ICOMOS ISC on 20th Century Heritage should
note that seven of the eleven sites date from the 20th Century, and three are
the product if the Modern Movement. The latter are:
§ Minoru
Yamasaki's 1966 Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles;
§ The
1963 Miami Marine Stadium in Miami, which in the past few months has been the
object of concern of the ISC20C;
§ Frank
Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois (which is on the US Tentative
List for nomination to the World Heritage List)
Other sites from the 20th century are:
§ The
Manhattan Project Enola Gay Hangar in Utah, which housed the plane that
delivered and dropped the first atomic bomb, and therefore, a controversial
element to many of the World War 2 legacy.
§ Lana'i
City in Hawaii, a 1920s Dole Pinneapple Company Town in the local vernacular
expression of the time.
§ The
1923 Memorial Bridge between Maine and New Hampshire, a vertical lift metal
truss bridge from 1923.
§ A
1934 Classical revival dormitory in Dorchester Academy, Georgia.
To see the complete list visit www.PreservationNation.org/11Most
where you can watch a public service announcement by HistoryTM and 11 short
videos about each site. Follow virtually as the Trust Twitter-s from the
national event, become a fan on Facebook, upload your own pictures of
endangered places on Flickr, and watch the videos on the 11 Most Endangered
YouTube playlist.
