NEW Highlights from the Jim Kerr Address 2024: Jane Lennon, Peter Marquis-Kyle and Meredith Walker (‘The Heritage of our Profession’)
The Jim Kerr Address, an annual Australia ICOMOS event to mark the contribution of the late James Semple Kerr to the Australian heritage profession, was held on Thursday 25th July 2024 at Brisbane’s Customs House.
Following a Welcome to Country given by Uncle Billy Cummings, Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee member Andrew Sneddon facilitated a conversation amongst an eminent panel of speakers whose contributions to heritage are legendary: Meredith Walker, Peter Marquis-Kyle and Jane Lennon, all early members of Australia ICOMOS and part of the development of governance and community heritage movements in the 1970s through the 1990s and beyond.
Peter, Meredith and Jane reminisced about these times, explaining how achievements such as The Burra Charter, The Illustrated Burra Charter, the Australian Heritage Commission and more, came into being. Some excellent early images from this era, including snapshots of early committee members meeting on site at heritage paces, taking action at community protests and working on documents in progress, helped us imagine this time more fully. The theme seemed to emerge that these earlier days were less burdened by regulatory processes (while fighting to establish them in order to protect heritage places) and there was a lot of youthful energy and enthusiasm for heritage. Following the event many attendees spoke about how inspiring it was to see these self-described ‘heritage trouble-makers’ and action takers, and how they made good things happen. Many people would like to hear more, and do more, promoting the community and joy of heritage into the future.
The event was attended by Jim Kerr’s children Tamsin and Jim Junior, and Australia ICOMOS president Tracy Ireland. It was a sold-out event. For those who were unable to attend, a video of the event is being edited and will be made available in coming weeks.
Thank you to our 2024 Jim Kerr Address sponsors: BIOSIS, Element Heritage & URBIS.

10th Anniversary International Symposium of the Tomioka World Heritage Site | Call for Abstracts | Submissions due by 20 August 2024
The Further Evolution of Authenticity through the Lens of Heritage Ecosystems: Heritage, Communities, and Sustainable Development
2024 marks the 10th anniversary of the World Heritage inscription of the Tomioka Silk Mill and Related Sites. Efforts have been made in Gunma Prefecture not only to preserve and promote the component properties and other silk-related heritage sites but also to promote the silk industry within the prefecture and to engage in educational activities that convey silk culture.
2024 also marks the 30th anniversary of the Nara Document, an international declaration that addressed the need to respect the diversity of culture and heritage in contemporary society. In 2004, a decade after Nara, the Yamato Declaration was adopted, emphasizing the necessity of an integrated approach for tangible and intangible cultural heritages. In 2014, the need to explore authenticity in relation to society from five perspectives—protection, value, stakeholders, consensus-building, and sustainable development—was proposed as “NARA+20.”
We live in a socio-economic environment different from the era in which heritage sites were created. Nevertheless, heritage serves as a source and treasure trove of past information, providing inspiration for the present and future. Therefore, as we look towards the future, we must address the universal challenge of authenticity. This involves maintaining the characteristics and qualities of heritage while allowing local communities to add various forms of value—economic, social, cultural, environmental, educational and technical—to achieve sustainability.
Against these backgrounds, this symposium aims to explore the challenges we face by focusing on the concept of a heritage ecosystem. A heritage ecosystem is understood to encompass the cyclical and organic relationships among various elements that constitute the rich cultural and natural environment of the region and that are connected to the heritage. Because challenges to heritage are ever-changing, the concept of a heritage ecosystem offers a powerful framework for better coping with the challenges that confront us today and those to come.
Further information on potential presentation themes can be found here. Prospective authors should submit a max. 300-word abstract by 20 August 2024 through the following link

Australian Building & Culture of Building Database | Miles Lewis AM, FAHA FRSA, BArch (Hons), BA, PhD
Australia ICOMOS member Miles Lewis invites collaboration with his new databases.
Culture of Building:
This is an on-line history of world building, with an emphasis upon the western tradition and upon the development and spread of ideas and practices. It deals with many topics upon which information is otherwise scarce, or in some cases inaccurate – such as Roman locks and keys, metal cramps in stonemasonry, the invention of the kingpost truss. lehmwickel, the invert arch in foundations, hollow pot construction, the fire escape, and early cable-stayed bridges.
Australia Building History:
This is an on-line history of Australian building, with an emphasis upon the development and spread of ideas and practices, and the tension between European traditions and local conditions. It deals with the major issues in Australian building – the bark roof, the stud frame, brick veneer and the Marseilles tile – and also with less prominent ones such as the Ackrill fixing brick and the laminated timber bridge. It includes the already widely consulted gazetteer of hundreds of corrugated iron brands.
This is a work in progress – some parts are fully developed, or have been published, whilst others are merely preliminary sketches. Comments, contributions, and especially illustrations will be much appreciated. Access is through the Miles Lewis web site: mileslewis.net

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.
