Sydney Historical Archaeology Practitioners’ Workshop | Archaeology of Resilience | 20 May

The study of change and resilience is central to the discipline of archaeology.  Archaeological sites with stratified materials have greater potential for revealing a chronology of past events, how people lived, used resources, adapted to environmental change in the past and the sequence of cultural and environmental change over time. Change is complex and can be presented and analysed in many different ways. SHAP 2022 explores how historical archaeologists describe, interpret, analyse and explain past changes and resilience.

The Sydney Historical Archaeology Practitioners’ (SHAP) Workshop is an annual opportunity to bring together students, academics, consultants and government, to discuss the latest findings, developments, and theoretical and methodological advances relating broadly to the historical archaeology of Sydney and beyond.

Click here for the SHAP22 Program.

Registration is essential:

• $110.00 – General admission (including GST)
• $88.00 – ASHA / AACAI / AAA / AIMA / ICOMOS members (including GST)
• $50.00 – Students (including GST)

CONFERENCE / SYMPOSIUM 

ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on Cultural Routes (CIIC) | Symposium on “Historic Roads in the Context of Cultural Routes” | call for papers closes 20 May 

The International Scientific Committee on Cultural Routes (CIIC) of ICOMOS will hold its annual symposium in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, on 15 and 16 September 2022. The main theme of this year’s event is “Historic Roads and the context of cultural routes”. The city of Santa Fe is an ideal place to explore the relationship between cultural routes and historical roads. Indigenous peoples established routes throughout the region, and later Spanish settlers made Santa Fe the terminus of the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, a cultural route linking the colonial capital of Mexico City to its northern border in New Mexico. The Old Spanish Trail, Santa Fe Trail and Route 66 also converge on Santa Fe, which was designated a UNESCO Creative City in 2005.

For more information, please visit the website https://ciicicomos.org/en/2022-meeting/.

The deadline for abstract submission is Friday, May 20, 2022.

‘Victorian Painting’ | talk by Prof Miles Lewis | presented by Hotham History Project | Melbourne + online | 25 May

Heritage paint colour controls in Victoria, and to a large extent in Australia, are based mainly upon a document prepared 45 years ago by Miles Lewis and his then research assistant Alison Blake (now Bishop Alison Taylor). Today those controls are substantially unchanged, except for the cumulative inaccuracies which have crept in over time. But much more research has been undertaken by Lewis and others.

In this presentation Lewis will discuss both aspects – the fundamental principles underlying the original controls, and the further information now available, covering stucco and cement finishes, unpainted surfaces, paint types, natural colours, ready-mixed paints, conventions for external colours on buildings, signwriting, conservation colour controls, the paint colours bulletin, the Munsell colour system, paint layers and microscope analysis, sanded finishes and other topics.

Date: Wednesday 25 May
Location: Bastow Institute of Educational Leadership, 603-615 Queensberry Street, North Melbourne
Time: 7.30-9.00pm AEST

Seats are strictly limited. Click here for more information and to book tickets.

Behind the scenes at The Orpheum | Cremorne, Sydney | 30 May, 6.30pm AEST

For one night only, Ian Hoskins and Peter Sheridan will take centre stage to showcase the history of The Orpheum and its architecture (with a few snippets about glamorous stars and starlets). You’ll learn about its renowned architect; be shocked at how developers turned it into a shopping arcade; and marvel at the way Mike Walsh brought it back to its former glory. In a project that took Walsh many years, loving attention was paid to art deco restoration – including a Mighty Wurlitzer organ from the Fresno Theatre in California. Surprisingly, The Orpheum is not on the State Heritage Register, but moves are definitely underway.
