ICOMOS MEMBERS

NEW Nominations for Australia ICOMOS Honorary membership invited

Honorary Membership of Australia ICOMOS may be conferred by the Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee to honour an outstanding contribution made to, or on behalf of, Australia ICOMOS. It is intended that this will be a rare honour to be considered annually but not necessarily bestowed each year.

Existing Australia ICOMOS Honorary members (and ICOMOS Honorary members – who automatically become Honorary members of Australia ICOMOS) are listed here: https://australia.icomos.org/about-us/australia-icomos/honours-and-awards/

We now invite you to nominate one of your Australia ICOMOS colleagues for Honorary Membership, to be considered by the Executive Committee for this year. Members who have previously been nominated but not awarded with Honorary membership may be re nominated.

The nomination criteria are set out below: 

  • The individual must currently be a Full International Member of Australia ICOMOS, or have been a longstanding Full International Member.
  • The outstanding contribution must be for a sustained period over many years.
  • Honorary Membership may recognise a range of types of outstanding contributions made to Australia ICOMOS.
  • These contributions must be in addition to those normally made to a voluntary organisation. Hence the performance of Executive Committee duties would be insufficient for Australia ICOMOS Honorary Membership consideration.
  • The contribution may be made within Australia or internationally, but must be specifically to, or on behalf of, Australia ICOMOS.

To nominate an Australia ICOMOS member for Honorary membership, please respond to this email with the following information:

  • Name of nominee
  • A comprehensive statement outlining the nominee’s outstanding contribution to Australia ICOMOS. Please note that this statement may become the basis of the information that is added to the Australia ICOMOS website if Honorary Membership is conferred on the individual you nominate.

Please submit a nomination by COB 29 July 2024 to the secretariat: austicomos@deakin.edu.au 

All nominations will be treated as confidential and will be made available to the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat and the small Selection Committee that will assess the nominations.

Cultural Heritage Agency ‘Sharing Stories on Contested Histories’ International exchange program Applications close 29 July 2024

How are museum and heritage professionals around the world responding to current societal challenges, such as the climate crisis and social inequalities in and through their work?

This programme is conceptualised for young museum and heritage professionals, researchers and independent practitioners based in or from one of the following countries: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, China, Egypt, France, Germany, Ghana, Hungary, India, Italy, Indonesia, Japan, Morocco, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia*, Spain, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Ukraine, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States, South Africa and South Korea.

Join us for this walk which explores the physical and social impacts wrought in the area since the beginning of the twentieth century.

We’ll be led by heritage architect Dr. Roy Lumby and landscape architect Matthew Taylor.

NEW The Paul Pholeros Foundation | Taps, toilets, training and health | Fundraising Event | 25 July 2024

The Paul Pholeros Foundation is hosting a fundraising event to showcase the work we do to support health improvement of communities in Nepal and Australia.

The Foundation honours the spirit of architect and humanitarian Paul Pholeros, a brilliant designer with a lifelong commitment to improving people’s lives.  A key element in Paul’s projects was the emphasis on skills training and investment in the professional growth of the next generations of designers, tradespeople, managers and leaders.

During an evening of music and conviviality, introduced by renowned architect Richard Leplastrier, you will hear from our Nepal Sanitation Fellowship teams, PP Architecture Scholars, and the designer of an innovative portable hand washing unit for Nepal.

Two of Paul’s original sketches will be raffled and a rare piece of Paul’s sharp social commentary and exquisite artistry – what he would call a “cartoon” – will be auctioned.

As a not for profit organisation and with all tasks handled by unpaid volunteers, the Foundation relies on donations and sponsorships to support our projects.

We invite you to participate in this great evening.

Tickets are $50 available from Humanitix: https://events.humanitix.com/paul-pholeros-foundation-fundraiser

The Uncovered Past Institute | Harrietville Vic | Chinese Mining Village Archaeological excavation – Chinese Mining Village Nov – Dec 2024

Join us to discover more about the Chinese miners who once lived and worked in the 19th century Harrietville Chinese Mining Village. For around fifty years from the early 1860s Harrietville was home to many of the thousands of Victoria’s Chinese gold miners. This will be the fifth season of archaeological excavation at the Chinese Mining Village, following on from the previous four seasons in October 2017, October 2019, October 2022 and January-February 2024. The largely undisturbed site includes mine workings, water races, building foundations, and gardens: a rare survivor of the heyday of Chinese gold mining in Victoria. The foundations of at least 19 buildings were discovered during a survey undertaken during Season One fieldwork in 2017. Huge quantities of food, liquor, medicines, utensils, ceramics and even coins were imported from China for the Chinese mining communities. Many fragments of these were discovered during the earlier excavation seasons, along with fragments of European tableware ceramics and glass bottles. Season Five research objectives will be to undertake more intensive excavations on hut site WC1, in order to determine its size, footprint and how it was constructed; and also to gain a greater understanding of the lifestyle of the Chinese miners.

Kinchela Boys Home 100th Anniversary Gathering | 18-20 October 2024

2024 marks 100 years since the gates of Kinchela Boys Home (KBH) opened. At those gates, the spirits of the children who walked through the gates were left behind. To mark this 100th anniversary, the KBH Survivors, their descendants and families are honouring the spirits of those children and celebrating the past, present and future of the Kinchela Boys Home Aboriginal Corporation (KBHAC) Community.

To recognise this important anniversary, a three-day gathering will take place from October 18th – 20th 2024. We would like to invite you to join KBHAC Survivors, their descendants and families in truth telling, cultural wellbeing, and ceremony which will take place across the Kinchela Boys Home site and the Macleay Valley, including Kempsey and South West Rocks.

Support Needed

There is important collective work to be done and KBHAC survivors and descendants are inviting you to walk alongside them, not just on “Sorry Day” or for this weekend, but in meaningful and sustained ways.
This includes supporting their vision for transforming the Kinchela Boys Home Site into a national site of truth telling and healing through the creation of a living museum and healing centre. This anniversary event foregrounds the importance of connecting with each other, to empower one another and inspire each other through shared stories. This is an opportunity to join and support the KBHAC Community to witness, remember and grow. Many of the survivors of KBH have passed and the hope for the last generations of survivors is to have the former site that inflicted so much pain and suffering into a site of healing and truth telling. We are asking for your support in working to support their vision.

If you would like to provide sponsorship please email accounts@kbhac.org.au for a prospectus.
