1. Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee and AGM

The Australia ICOMOS AGM was held on Saturday 27 November at the National Museum in Canberra, chaired by Australia ICOMOS President, Susan McIntyre-Tamwoy. The Annual Report for 2009/2010 was tabled and an electronic copy will be available from the website shortly. The President reported the results of the election for positions on the Executive Committee (EC), with the successful candidates as follows (* re-elected to EC):

  • Michelle Bird (Qld)
  • Anne Brake (WA)*
  • Amy Chan (VIC)
  • Anthony Coupe (SA)*
  • Kerime Danis (NSW)
  • Jane Harrington (TAS)*
  • Angie McGowan (TAS)*
  • Kevin O’Sullivan (SA)
  • Peter Romey (NSW)*

Although eight positions were originally advised, Catherine Brouwer subsequently tendered her resignation from the Executive Committee, creating an additional vacancy. We would like to congratulate the elected members and thank everyone who took the time to vote. The elected members will join continuing members Tracy Ireland, Anita Krivickas, Megan McDougall, Michael Queale, Natica Schmeder and Helen Wilson.

We would also like to extend our thanks to those members of the Executive Committee who are not continuing: Jane Ainsworth, Catherine Brouwer, Alice Buhrich, Timothy Hubbard and Susan McIntyre-Tamwoy. All have made a significant contribution in their time on their committee and Australia ICOMOS is very grateful for their support. Tim has made a particular impact with his tireless efforts as conference organiser and we remain reassured that he will continue behind the scenes as the Convener of the 2011 Water Conference to be held in Melbourne at the end of October.

A great loss to the Executive Committee is our outgoing President, Susan McIntyre-Tamwoy. Sue has been the President for the last two years and has had to step down as she completed the maximum term of six years on the Executive. In her time as President she has worked tirelessly and diligently towards the interests of Australia ICOMOS and has established a presence on both the national and international fronts. Her energy is unequalled and those of us who have worked with her on the committee remain exhausted at the thought of any attempt to emulate the effort. However, Sue will be continuing her work on a number of projects so we are reassured that her dedication and substantial expertise has not been lost but merely redirected. Thank you Sue for your dedication, diligence and achievements.

A meeting of the new Executive Committee was held on Sunday 28 November. One of the first agenda items was to elect the new Office Bearers:

  • PRESIDENT – Jane Harrington
  • VICE-PRESIDENT – Anthony Coupe
  • SECRETARY – Helen Wilson
  • TREASURER – Kevin O’Sullivan

In addition the following appointments were made:

  • MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY – Natica Schmeder
  • MINUTES SECRETARY – Tracy Ireland

A full list of Executive Committee members’ roles and responsibilities will be available on the website in the near future.

As the incoming President I would like to congratulate my fellow Office Bearers and to thank the membership and committee for your confidence in electing me to the Committee and the position. I would particularly like to acknowledge Sue’s support and the ongoing efforts of the members of the Executive Committee, and of Georgia Meros, our Secretariat Officer. I will provide a further and more substantial report in the next Enews but in the meantime note that I can be contacted on 0409 344 598 or by email.

JANE HARRINGTON
President, Australia ICOMOS

2. Watermarks, Water’s Heritage – 2011 conference

Watermarks, Water’s Heritage
27-30 October 2011
Melbourne, Australia

The National Trusts of Australia and Australia ICOMOS are pleased to announce their joint 2011 conference, Watermarks, Water’s Heritage. Members of both organisations and others are invited to participate in what should be a provocative and fruitful conference.

Themes

Before the European settlement of Australia, for many thousands of years, Aboriginal people lived in close harmony with the land and water, which provided both physical and spiritual nourishment. Today, the ownership, allocation, management and use of water have become some of the most important issues in contemporary Australia. The theme for the ICOMOS International Day of Monuments and Sites, 18 April 2011 is the heritage of water. Consequently, it was chosen as the theme for Watermarks, Water’s Heritage, the joint National Trusts of Australia and Australia ICOMOS conference to be held in Melbourne in late October 2011. Our venue, the ‘state-of-the-art’ Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, (MCEC) is situated on the south bank of the River Yarra, just 500 metres from the site of the city’s foundation and 6 kilometres from the iconic Westgate Bridge and the former MMBW Spotswood Pumping Station.

Important as these places are ― and they will be celebrated during the conference ― there is much more to the heritage of water than outstanding engineering achievements. The importance and use of water and waterways to Aboriginal people, exploration, settlement, aquaculture, fresh water supply, flood control, irrigation, recreation, transport and communication, mining, hydro-electric power and environmental damage and conservation are some other sub-themes to be explored. Discussion is encouraged across the centuries including debates affecting the present day.

Further information is available on the conference website, which will be updated as new information is available.

3. Institute for Professional Practice in Heritage and the Arts courses and professional development in 2011

Institute for Professional Practice in Heritage and the Arts (IPPHA) is pleased to announce four upcoming professional development activities developed in conjunction with partners Narryna Heritage Museum and Tasmania Museum and Art Gallery; National Museum of Australia; NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and the Vanuatu Cultural Centre.

Short Course: Managing Small Museums at a Heritage Place
24 – 28 January 2011
Narryna Heritage Museum in Hobart, Tasmania

Narryna is winner of the small museums award in the ABC Radio National Regional Museums Award 2010. This course focuses on developing skills in managing small museums located at heritage places. Participants will have the opportunity to learn practical heritage management skills and gain a thorough understanding of the issues relating to small museum and collection management. Narryna is both an historic house and home to a remarkable collection dating from the earliest European settlement of Australia. This includes a nationally significant art collection and one of the largest costume (dress) collections in the southern hemisphere. The course will be held primarily at Narryna and will include hands-on activities and engagement with Narryna staff, volunteers and the local community.

Professional Update: Seeing the values in large technology heritage: The conservation and curation of ‘big things’
24 – 25 March 2011
Australian National University and the National Museum of Australia.

The conservation of items of large technology such as aircraft, large vehicles, engines and machinery require specialist curatorial, conservation, engineering and trade training methods and skills.

This professional update will examine the application of different values and practices to the successful and sustainable management and display of large technology objects. The discussion will be informed by a range of viewpoints and case studies presented by leading large technology heritage practitioners. Participants from different backgrounds will be invited to work with each other to challenge and extend their ideas.

Short Course: The Physical Conservation of Buildings and Structures
11-16 April 2011
Kosciouszko National Park

Run in collaboration with the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS).

A six day field-based professional development short course covering a range of physical conservation issues and strategies for conserving buildings and structures in place.

Participants will have unique access to a diverse range of historic buildings and structures within the park and will have a ‘hands on’ experience of the issues and skills involved in the physical conservation of historic buildings and structures. The course will be presented by experienced heritage practitioners and staff of the NPWS and Australian National University.

Study Tour: The challenges of World Heritage in the Pacific: Chief Roi Mata’s Domain
16 – 20 May 2011
Vanuatu

A study tour to one of our region’s newest World Heritage properties. Chief Roi Mata’s Domain is a cultural landscape including ancient Melanesian villages, caves, rock art, tropical islands, protected coral reefs and some of the most famous archaeological sites in the Pacific. It is one of the locations where Indigenous oral history has been demonstrated to have been passed on with remarkable accuracy from generation to generation for over 400 years. On this tour, you will be immersed in Melanesian heritage and local life. You will also gain a unique insight into how the idea for this World Heritage Site emerged, took hold and has developed with strong local community ownership. Over five days, you will have an opportunity to experience at first hand issues and approaches to cultural heritage, cultural tourism and sustainable development in one of Australia’s near Pacific neighbours.

To see the full range of IPPHA professional development programs for planned for 2011, and the courses available by arrangement, visit the event calendar on the IPPHA website.

10. Streetwise Asia Christmas Cards – make a real difference this year with your Christmas giving

Dear fellow ICOMITES,

I am bringing this to your attention in case you, like me, would like some of your Christmas spending directed to something that will have a lasting positive benefit for others.

STREETWISE ASIA – CHRISTMAS CARDS

Your Christmas card shopping this year can make a real difference by supporting the Streetwise Asia school upgrade in Tocdog, Bohol in the Philippines.

Streetwise Asia is committed to improving the educational facilities of poor children in Asia. School communities are transformed when facilities are improved.

By purchasing a gift card (with a hand crafted sketch of the Bohol School), you will be contributing to this Streetwise Asia 2011 project. This year Streetwise Asia is assisting a very poor school with over 500 students who currently occupy a derelict timber school building, which is unsafe. In 2010 together with AusAID we completed a life changing project at the Kuguita School on Camiguin Island Philippines.

We will send you hand crafted Christmas cards corresponding to each gift. Your total purchase price will be a donation to the Streetwise Asia Fund, and is therefore Tax Deductible. A minimum order of $50 is requested, due to the handling time of making the cards and sending them.

Cards and gift prices range as follows:

$5.00 – donate a timber floor board

$10.00 – repair a broken down school desk

$15.00 – donate a new floor stump – essential as many stumps are termite infested and in need of replacement.

$25.00 – contribute to the new capiz windows

$35.00 – donate a sheet of roofing iron. Re-roofing is essential as the roof is leaking and in sections in near collapse condition

Note that for businesses (and for an order of $150 or more), you can arrange personalised cards with your name included in the card, indicating your support for the Streetwise Asia Tocdog School project in the Philippines.

The Streetwise Asia Christmas card information and order form (which includes a card example) can be filled out to order your cards. Each card contains a specific note about the project related to your gift. Cards will be posted within 72 hours of receipt of order.

Any queries, email Liz Vines, the Streetwise Asia Fund Coordinator.
