NEW IS20C | Rethinking 20C Nordic Heritage – Framework for Future Practice 4 September 2026
Join ISC20 for a day of critical discussion and networking—help impact the future of 20th-century heritage practice in the Nordic region!
The 20th Century Historic Thematic Framework (20cHTF) is a new tool developed by the Getty Conservation Institute and ICOMOS IS20C. Designed to assess and interpret 20th-century built heritage, the 20cHTF is vital to help us update and broaden how we designate heritage, ensuring it reflects the full complexity of the 20th century—an era of remarkable progress and humanity, but also the dawn of the Anthropocene.
This seminar emphasizes Nordic perspectives bringing together experts and practitioners from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Åland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, and Denmark to examine how the 20cHTF can shape conservation practices and policy-making. https://danmark.icomos.org/508-2/
icomos https://www.icomos.org/event/20c-nordic-heritage-framework-for-future-practice-seminar-denmark/
The recent announcement of the 20th-Century Historic Thematic Framework (HTF) seminar has sparked interest among experts planning new local inventories based on the framework. ICOMOS ISC20C is eager to gather additional examples of such initiatives, inventories, or other applications of the HTF.
If you or your network are involved in similar efforts or planning to use the HTF, we’d love to hear from you! Your input will help shape the future of the HTF and its global impact.

Rock Art: The Changing Landscape of Conservation and Management | Edited by Neville Agnew, Janette Deacon, and Tom McClintock
This richly illustrated volume is the first interdisciplinary anthology to focus on the conservation and management of rock art sites. Its 133 readings survey the arc of published writings on the subject, ranging from early academic theories and oral narratives of Traditional peoples to an abundant selection of recent scholarship covering current best practices and advances in portable instrumentation that can be used in the field. Initial sections probe the origins and significance of these often-enigmatic forms, then survey scientific and technological methods of dating, monitoring, and documenting them. Subsequent readings discuss rock art’s physical characteristics and weathering, its importance to Indigenous communities, the decolonization of site management, the role of governments, the value of public outreach, and climate change. The volume closes with a selection of case studies drawn from major sites worldwide.

Worldwide Research Inquiry | Working Historic Cistern Beneath a House
My name is Glendon Lambert, and I am researching a historic feature at the Porter House in Dumas, Arkansas, USA.
The house contains an original brick cistern beneath the dining room. The cistern has been preserved, is visible through a glass floor opening, and now operates as a non-potable interpretive water feature: water is recirculated into it through the house’s original inlet or spout so visitors can see and hear the historic water system in operation.
I am trying to determine whether a genuinely comparable example is known. Are you aware of any historic house, house museum, bed-and-breakfast, vacation rental, or privately owned historic residence—anywhere in the world—that has:
- an original cistern located beneath the house;
- the cistern visible or accessible to visitors; and
- water actively entering through the original inlet, spout, downpipe, or related historic conveyance as an operating interpretive feature?
If so, please share the property’s name, location, contact information, and any documentation or photographs you know of. Near matches are also useful, including cisterns in a yard, cellar, courtyard, or museum setting.
If you are not aware of a comparable property, I would also value your professional view on whether this combination appears unusually rare. I am not seeking to claim that the Porter House is “the only one” without evidence; the goal is to document the feature carefully and accurately.
Please feel free to forward this inquiry to curators, architectural historians, building archaeologists, water-history specialists, house-museum networks, or preservation professionals who may have relevant knowledge.
Thank you for your assistance.
