1) Australia ICOMOS ISC Travel
Assistance Fund - Reminder
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.
This fund is open
to all Australian ICOMOS members who are endorsed members of an ISC. Up
to 20 travel assistance grants of $500 is available for 2009. Expressions
of interest should be no more than 1 page and should include the name of the
ISC you belong to, the date and venue of their 2009 meeting, how you will use
this grant and why it would be a benefit to yourself and to Australia ICOMOS.
Please send your
expression of interest, to the Secretariat no later than 4pm 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2) (Un)Loved
Modern Conference aims to bring modern heritage into the mainstream
One of the threats to modern heritage is getting past the
mainstream image of heritage. At the National
Trust Corporate Breakfast on 29 April, the NSW Minister for Planning,
Kristina Keneally, said:
"Another area of heritage that is perhaps considered
marginal by some, and mainstram by others, is [the] 20th Century heritage of
modernism."
"I am interested in looking at international trends to
list important modernist buildings before they are perhaps demolished
unwittingly. Our ideas about heritage move on and we need to be
constantly alert to the destruction of what future generations will see as
critical to the layering of our history."
"I have recently approved the listing of the important
Torin Building at Penrith on the State Heritage Register. The Torin
Building is considered a rare example of late 20th Century International Style
industrial architecture designed by internationally renowned master architect
Marcel Breuer. It is the only building in Australia designed by Breuer,
and is one of a suite of buildings located in Europe and America designed by
Breuer for the Torin Corporation."
You can be part of the next stage of conserving 20th Century
heritage in Australia by attending the (Un)Loved
Modern Conference in Sydney on 7-10 July
2009. You will have the opportunity to hear from over 50 speakers from
Australia, Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, South
Africa, Malaysia, and Sweden. Papers will be presented on a wide range of
20th Century heritage, from single houses to glasshouses,
from midget submarines
to gardens, from walk-up flats to high rise buildings,
and from the Sydney Opera House
to the Solomon
R Guggenheim Museum.
With only 8 weeks to go, make sure you register now to ensure your attendance at the Australia ICOMOS (Un)Loved Modern Conference in Sydney on 7-10 July 2009.

3) Guidelines for the
assessment of places for the National Heritage List
This is a general interpretative guide to the process of
assessing places against the National Heritage List criteria under the
statutory provisions of the EPBC Act and Regulations. It is provided for the
use of those considering nominations, those preparing nominations and for
general information on the process of assessing places for the National
Heritage List.

4) Call for Australia ICOMOS members to
contribute to International Scientific Committees - Reminder
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 4pm 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.

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.

6) Museums and Capital Projects
Masterclass - 29 June to 2 July 2009
Museums and Capital Projects is a Masterclass for museum
professionals involved in commissioning and managing capital development
projects. This three day event will provide an introduction to project delivery
by exploring and offering insight on different client perspectives and project
issues. The workshop will also provide a sustained and intensive opportunity to
share individual capital project issues with colleagues and receive feedback.
The class prioritises a collaborative process and is open to
museum professionals involved in any capacity in a capital project. The
Masterclass will be facilitated by Sara Hilton and Richard Schofield of the
Capital Projects Network and a range of visiting museum professionals who have
significant experience in capital project commissioning and management. These
include David Anderson, Victoria and Albert Museum; Nick Winterbotham,
Thinktank; Sally Manuireva, National Museums Scotland; and, John Millard, World
Museum Liverpool. Attendance on the course has been capped at 36 to facilitate
a collaborative learning environment in which colleagues can share experiences
and working practices and receive feedback on their ideas.
The class is a collaboration between the Department of Museum
Studies at the University of Leicester and the Capital projects Network.

ICBS: International Blue Shield Mission to Cologne Archive
27 April to 1 May 2009
Dear Colleagues,
The new Blue Shield international coordination centre in The
Hague received a request for support from Cologne, which we distributed among
our relations and Dutch Archive institutes and professionals. We have received
many responses from those who want to help.
Together with the National Archive and the Dutch Branch
organization of Archive institutes (BRAIN) we made an inventory of people and
institutes willing to help. Their offers keep coming in. We have received many
responses from The Netherlands, but also from Belgium, France, the United
States and the Czech Republic. In the first week of April a delegation went to
Cologne to see how best to coordinate offers of assistance. The staff in
Cologne gave us a warm welcome and we obtained detailed information and a
thorough impression of the work that is in progress.
The delegation was very much impressed by the work that has
been done so far. The process of searching and finding the material is taking
place under extremely dangerous and difficult circumstances. It is therefore a
tremendous achievement to have made such progress. It has not only surprised us
it has also surprised the staff and volunteers of the Archive. The planning has
been revised several times and has greatly progressed. The prognoses are that
the first phase of the recovery process (separating material, storage,
registration, first aid to the objects like cleaning and drying or preparing
for further treatment) needs one more month, so this will end even before the
summer holidays.
The delegation was also very impressed by the determination
and the motivation of everyone at work. After a month of stress and extremely
long working hours spirits seem unbroken, though the fatigue is showing.
Firemen are still the only ones working on the slope, because of the dangerous
conditions. They have a whole team working day in day out and they will stay
until the slope is gone.
A coordinated mission is needed as soon as possible. It will
be most helpful in this first phase of the recovery process if several teams
work at the same time and on the same location. In accordance with the staff in
Cologne we therefore decided to reschule schedule our mission for 27 APRIL TO 1
MAY. A coordinated mission will save time and energy for the Archive staff, who
must make the necessary arrangements for each individual volunteer, including
booking the accommodation, introduction, transport, etc.)
To prepare the mission we needed some time. We are fully aware
that all professionals who indicated their willingness to help will need some
time too and may have difficulty matching a busy agenda with this unforeseen
early departure. Because of this we hereby call on every professional, whether
they have already indicated their interest to join us or are deciding to do so,
to support our hardworking colleagues of Cologne and make this first
international Blue Shield mission a success.

The theme of the 2009 conference is "Preservation in the

the late 19th and 20th centuries. Technological and social changes allowed an
interconnected, yet scattered, collection of towns and villages to grow

counties; more than 200 towns, cities, and municipalities; and more than 15
million residents. At the hub of this metropolitan agglomeration, Los Angeles
invites rigorous debate between those seeing an urban utopia-complete with fast
cars, movies stars, high-tech jobs, surf boards, fruit orchards, and mountain
resorts-and those who envision a dystopian nightmare of race riots, air
pollution, traffic jams, endless sprawl, and rapidly increasing density.
Somewhere in the middle, for better or worse, lies the real Los Angeles, the model
for the post-war 20th century American metropolis and (jaded) blueprint for the
World City.
Now that we have moved into the 21st Century, both
philosophical and pragmatic questions arise regarding the conservation and
management of the World City.
The APT LA 2009 Conference in Los Angeles will address the
scientific, engineering and technical ramifications of preserving the modern
metropolis and its expansive body of historic resources through the four
conference tracks in the program.

1st International Meeting European Architectural History Network
(EAHN)
Guimaraes, Portugal, June 17-20, 2010
Submission deadline: October 30, 2009.
The time has come for scholars who share research and teaching
objectives in architectural history to gather at a single pan-European meeting.
In accordance with the EAHN mission statement, this meeting proposes to
increase the visibility of the discipline, to foster trans-national,
interdisciplinary and multicultural approaches to the study of the built
environment, and to facilitate the exchange of research results in the field.
Though the scope of the meeting is European, members of the larger scholarly
community are invited to submit proposals related not only to Europe's
geographical framework, but also to its transcontinental aspects.
The main purpose of the meeting is to map the general state
of research in disciplines related to the built environment, to promote
discussion of current themes and concerns, and to foster new directions for
research in the field.
The call for papers can also be read at www.eahn2010.org

UNESCO: New Publication on Underwater Heritage
Museum International: Underwater Cultural Heritage (Volume 60, no 4,
2008), No 240
The underwater excavation of archaeological
sites is often associated with treasure hunting. But such sand- or silt-covered
remains represent a wealth greater than the material: the history of humankind
in all its diversity.
This current issue of Museum
International discusses site exploration as well as preservation,
highlighting maintenance in situ. It takes stock of technological
innovations for conserving submerged objects, and cautions against the dangers
of commercially exploiting underwater cultural heritage.
Attention is also given to the
2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage:
its benefits along with the challenges still to be met.
Finally, this issue explores some new perspectives
opened up by underwater cultural heritage on the theory and practice of
protection itself.
Note: Several of the Authors
of this Volume are members of ICOMOS' International Scientific Committee for
Underwater Cultural Heritage (ICUCH) http://www.icuch.org/

Council of Europe: New Publication: Guidance on inventory and
documentation of the cultural heritage
Published 23 March 2009, 134 pages
Improved heritage management and the inclusion of heritage
in planning and sustainable development processes necessitate inventory and
documentation. More than mere scientific tools recommended in international agreements,
inventory and documentation play a strategic role. The complexity of the
heritage items that now have to be inventoried and their interaction with our
everyday living environment require the clear definition and harmonisation of
practices at the European level. Through its work in the 1960s, the Council of
Europe helped to lay the methodological bases for inventorying architectural,
archaeological and movable heritage. The efforts to systematise the process
came in answer to the broadening meaning of heritage, and today new
considerations lead us to address such notions as heritage groups. The
guidelines proposed in this book reflect the work done so far and provide a
basis for future research. It is part of a series produced under the Technical Co-operation
and Assistance Programme to present the experience derived from the projects
implemented by the Council of Europe.
