Historic Environment, Vol 35(1), 2023 (2024) Queer Heritage
The latest special issue of Historic Environment is now published online and hard copies sent to those members who have opted to receive a paper copy. This latest special issue is entitled: Queer Heritage. Check it out here!
The guest editors – Steve Brown, Celmara Pocock, and Robert Mason – have assembled six papers that collectively involve 13 authors, as well as three reviewers of queer books and a preface by Frank Howarth, a Sydney Mardi Gras 78er and former Chair of the Heritage Council of NSW. The special issue builds on a session presented at the ICOMOS 22nd Triennial General Assembly and Scientific Symposium (GA2023) in Sydney in September 2023. Presented under the Rights theme, the session was titled: LGBTQI Heritage: Unnatural Histories, Ephemeral Places, Future Challenges.
The special issue includes a ‘Manifesto for Queer Heritage Practice 1.0’ (pp. 86-87). The intent of the Manifesto is to support ICOMOS, and more broadly heritage work, to recognise and engage with Queer/LGBTQIA+ heritage as an important field of conservation; and to demand actions to achieve this outcome. The Manifesto includes action points that we consider foundational and necessary for good heritage conservation policy and practice and that support inclusion, rights, and ethical practice. We suggest that these actions can be incorporated into heritage strategies, heritage guides, conservation management plans, interpretation, and the like.

2024 ICOMOS Annual General Assembly and associated Scientific Symposium
The 2024 ICOMOS Annual General Assembly and associated Scientific Symposium was hosted by ICOMOS Brazil from November 10 to 17, in Ouro Preto, a world heritage-listed colonial mining town in the mountains of Brazil.
Prof Richard Mackay AM, convenor of the 2023 General Assembly, ICOMOS board member and Regional Vice President Susan McIntyre-Tamwoy, Advisory Committee (AdCom) president elect Kerime Davis and ISC Cultural Landscapes (ISCCL) expert member Stephanie Johnston) travelled to Ouro Preto, while many other Australia ICOMOS members were able to participate online.
The General Assembly is the sovereign body of ICOMOS and all ICOMOS members are entitled to participate, however only voting members designated by their National Committee can vote online on the resolutions. Online voting subsequently saw the ICOMOS Charter on Intangible Cultural Heritage resolution successfully adopted, despite some opposition.The Advisory Committee composed of the Presidents of the National Committees and International Scientific Committees voted former Australia ICOMOS president Kerime Danis as their new President.
The Scientific Symposium on Revisiting the Venice Charter: Critical Perspectives and Contemporary Challenges was open to everyone. Despite some programming challenges the Nature Cultures working group of the ISCCL presented two excellent sessions on Nature Cultures themes from all five ICOMOS regions, while the Burra Charter was referenced on numerous occasions as being a document which has successfully built on the Venice Charter legacy.
For those interested, the ICOMOS 2025 General Assembly will be held 10-20 October in Lumbini, Nepal, the birthplace of Gautam Buddah.

NEW ICOMOS | Expression of Interest | Securing the Next ICOMOS Generation: Transitioning the Advisory Committee
In 2020, the Advisory Committee recommended recruiting volunteers to support its Advisory Committee Officers (ACOs) in their work. Launched in 2021, the program has been immensely successful, helping ACOs in key achievements such as Annual Report analysis, the 2021-2024 and 2024-2027 Triennial Scientific Plans, and the ICOMOS Carbon Reduction Strategy & Responsible Practice Toolkit.
This initiative aims to: i) facilitate and encourage ICOMOS members to share, experience and support the role of the Advisory Committee and the work of the ACOs; ii) to share the lively debate and experience and iii) increase the pool of future candidates standing for election as ACOs; and iv) to help support and increase the efficiency of the work done by the Advisory Committee and ACOs.
Assisting Advisory Committee Volunteers (AAVs) will work directly with the ACOs to implement the current work plan which includes support to ICOMOS organisational and scientific coordination, and development.
We are relaunching the call for volunteers to expand the team and align with new projects in the AdCom Officers Work Plan 2025-26. This is a great way to engage with the ICOMOS network, gain professional experience and enjoy the process.
Application
AAV EOIs should be submitted via a brief email with a separate short description (250 words) about your professional background, any past roles with ICOMOS, other relevant experience and your particular spheres of interest. Matches will be made based on current needs.
Some Volunteers may be required for specific meetings only, whereas others may be invited to support ongoing projects, activities or programmes. Please indicate which you would prefer to be considered for.
Interested ICOMOS members should send (or resend if repeat volunteering) their EOI to austicomos@deakin.edu.au and COPIED TO: Renata Bornberg bornberg@icomos.at

The British Library in partnership with English Heritage and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew | Call for papers | Gardens & Empires Conference 27-28 June 2025
This conference aims to investigate the impacts of global connections on gardens around the world, in former colonies and in imperial centres. The histories of gardens and plants are interwoven with those of power, expansion and domination. The emergence of the European garden, for instance, cannot be fully understood without considering the transatlantic slave economy, merchant capitalism, colonial expansion, informal empire and imperialism. Furthermore, as witnessed with current ecological concerns around ‘invasive’ species, we are becoming more aware of the environmental impacts of mass plant migrations.
The conference will explore the influence of global networks of science, commerce and horticulture on the plants, designs and practices found in the gardens of European and non-European empires, at home and abroad. The focus will be on ornamental plants and gardens, while recognising these share much of their history with economic plants. The conference will form the basis of a proposal for an edited volume on the topic.
Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words including a brief bio to Emily Parker emily.parker@english-heritage.org.uk by 9am on 17th February 2025

SURVEYS
Digital modelling of built heritage survey | PhD University of Birmingham
My name is Lucy Lovell and I am currently undertaking a PhD at the University of Birmingham in the UK focused on the digital modelling of historic structures (historic building information modelling (HBIM)). BIM is an information management and 3D visualisation tool used extensively by the architecture, engineering and construction industry. It typically consists of a 3D model of a structure with all information about the structure (e.g. current condition, maintenance information, health and safety assessments etc) associated with objects within the model. It has the potential to assist with information management and create an enduring record for future generations of heritage stewards. This will provide tangible benefits for the heritage community including more efficient resource management and fewer instances of lost or duplicated information. However, there is currently no standard for HBIM and no consensus on what functions or features a HBIM system requires.
Over the last year, I have been surveying individuals involved in the management and maintenance of built heritage in the UK to find out how they currently manage information, what problems they face and what they would need a digital information management system to do. The result of this was the identification of some proposed requirements for HBIM.
I now need additional input from individuals involved in the management and maintenance of built heritage from outside the UK to confirm that the proposed requirements fit their needs.
If you would like to assist Lucy by filling in the survey, the link can be found here.
