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

Guidelines
NEW Reminder to use new Guidelines for preparing a statement of heritage impact (SOHI)
In 2023 Heritage NSW published revised guidelines for preparing a statement of heritage impact. A SOHI is an assessment report that assists owners, custodians and managers of heritage items to understand how proposed works to a heritage item or in its vicinity may impact the item’s heritage significance. The revised guidelines explain what a SOHI is, lists the steps and questions that must be considered while preparing one and sets out the structure for a SOHI in a template.
A SOHI in the new prescribed format must accompany all applications submitted to Heritage NSW for works to items listed on the State Heritage Register. SOHIs that are not prepared according to these new guidelines and template may not be accepted by Heritage NSW.

NEW National Trust Sydney talk | Elusive traces of Migrants’ Gardens An Illustrated Talk by Dr. Helen Armstrong AM Professor-Emerita of Landscape Architecture, QUT | 28 August 2024
The gardens migrants make show how memories and dreams take form in the new country. All Australian gardens, whether grand or modest, are intriguing mixtures of influences from other countries and curious Australian plants growing in unusual settings.
There are complex reasons why migrants leave their home country; ranging from simple traditions of migratory work to chaotic displacement associated with war. Many Mediterranean migrants in Australia were following the tradition of migratory work. The gardens of such migrants tend to follow the traditional patterns of growing provisions for the family and the market. This was also true of the Chinese when they came to Australia.
Other migrants were forced to flee their countries due to war. Such refugees believed that they would never be able to return to their countries, so the garden took on a particular poignancy as a place to re-establish order after chaos, a place to experience the healing power of seasons and to give expression to cherished aspects of lost homelands.
Wednesday, 28th August, 2024
Annie Wyatt Room, National Trust of Australia (NSW), Upper Fort Street, Miller’s Point, Sydney (a 5 minute walk from Wynyard station)

NEW Garden History 44th Annual National Conference | WA Branch | Bunbury W.A | 18 to 20 October 2024
The Western Australia branch hosts the 44th Annual National Conference (18 to 20 October 2024) in the coastal city of Bunbury, about two hours’ drive south of Perth. (Non-AGHS members can Zoom into the lectures from around the world.) Visits during the conference include places of early settlement when the W.A. colony saw its future in the hands of Hesperus, God of the west wind.
Colonisation of the western sector of New Holland was considered a venture that offered trading opportunities with the large British populations in India, and after 1814, the British Cape colony on the southern tip of Africa. The initial settlement on the Swan River in 1829 was championed by Captain James Stirling, who had convinced the British Government to support the establishment of a colony by free settlers. The name he contemplated for the new colony was Hesperia from Hesperus, the Greek name for the god of the west wind. This was not adopted, with the name the Swan River Colony being used until it became officially Western Australia in 1832.
So come to Hesperia where the landscapes are varied and the horticulture, equally so. They offer you a chance to escape to the country, to explore the variety and history of this South West land. We earnestly appeal to you to come ‘Bunburying’ with us, to live another life in far WA for a few days, converse with friends and immerse yourselves in the gardens of this beautiful area of the South West corner of our continent.

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.
