1. Australia ICOMOS Contact Point – ICOMOS General Assembly, Paris 28 November-2 December 2011: Looking for a volunteer!

For past General Assemblies (GA), attending Australian members have benefited immensely from the efforts of an Australian co-ordinator and contact point. The role of this person has been primarily to collect names and contacts for those planning on attending and to act as a point of contact and communication exchange in Paris for our various attempts to get our Australian contingent together. The latter involves gatherings for strategic discussions in relation to voting, resolutions etc, and the arrangement of an Australian dinner. We usually include our New Zealand colleagues in these invitations, and my limited experience is that there is a growing number who appear eager to nominate themselves as honorary Australians for the night of the dinner! We are looking for a volunteer who is planning on attending the Paris GA and would like to take on this co-ordinating role. There will of course be others on the ground to assist with arrangements and the dissemination of information.

If you are interested in taking on this role or have any queries could you please send me an email or ring on 0409 344 598 by 7 May 2011.

With thanks,
Jane Harrington

3. Saving Australia’s Heritage – MayDay call goes out

Australia’s archives, galleries, libraries, museums and heritage places are gearing up for the national MayDay campaign in a bid to protect the nation’s heritage from avoidable disasters. The campaign – beginning 1 May 2011 – is organised by Blue Shield Australia.

Dr Jonathan Sweet, chair of Blue Shield Australia, said: “We are urging all people involved in cultural organisations to think disaster-preparedness during the month of May. People can get involved by taking at least one step to prepare for disaster response.”

“Bushfires and floods have been devastating for Australian communities but recent events in Japan are a reminder that disasters may have regional or global consequences. The tragic losses of life and cultural property emphasise the importance of disaster preparedness. Not enough of Australia’s cultural organisations have up-to-date disaster plans that will help to prevent the devastating loss of significant cultural property—putting at risk the things that embody the memories and values that help make up community identities.”

“MayDay is a campaign designed to encourage people to get to know their local fire-fighters and police in a bid to get pointers on safety and preparedness, to take time out to eliminate hazards such as blocked fire exits, improper storage of paints and solvents, or to update a neglected disaster plan.”

Dr Jonathan Sweet can be contacted on 0400 920 790

Find out more about the origins of MayDay (MayDay 2011 – Background Flyer) and what you can do to get involved (MayDay 2011 – General Flyer).

What is the Blue Shield?

The Blue Shield is the cultural equivalent of the Red Cross. It is the symbol specified in the 1954 Hague Convention for marking cultural sites to give them protection from attack in the event of armed conflict. It is also the name of an international committee set up in 1996 to work to protect the world’s cultural heritage threatened by wars and natural disasters.

Blue Shield Committees around the globe comprise four international cultural heritage ‘pillar’ bodies:

• International Council on Archives (ICA)
• International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS)
• International Council of Museums (ICOM)
• International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)

In Australia, these pillar bodies are represented respectively as follows: Council of Australasian Archives and Records Authorities (CAARA); Australia ICOMOS; ICOM Australia; Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA).

Notes for editors:

• The MayDay concept originated with the Society of American Archivists in 2006.
• Blue Shield is the cultural equivalent of Red Cross, and works to protect the world’s cultural heritage threatened by wars and natural disasters.

4. Call for EOIs: Membership Benefits Coordinator

Would you like to play a leading role in expanding the range of benefits Australia ICOMOS members receive? For example, free or reduced admission to historic sites and museums, discounts in their bookshops and for conferences? In Europe, holders of an ICOMOS membership card are often granted free admission to cultural institutions, but in Australia this is generally only the case for members of organisations such as ICOM.

The Executive Committee is looking for Expressions of Interest from members who would like to act as a Membership Benefits Coordinator for 12 months. This person would work with the Membership Secretary, primarily to approach a short-list of private and state cultural institutions and request that similar benefits as, for example, ICOM members receive, be extended to ICOMOS members. All other suggestions for membership benefits to pursue would be welcome. The Coordinator will be provided with assistance to find suitable contact people in the target institutions. There is no travel required for this position.

This is a great opportunity to make membership of Australia ICOMOS more valuable for everyone, and would also be a way to become acquainted with some of the workings of the Executive Committee.

Interested full members (including retired members) should submit a brief EOI (no more than a page) by Friday 6 May, to Membership Secretary Natica Schmeder.

8. Australia ICOMOS Canberra Talks – Members’ Feedback

Dr Leah McKenzie—Airplanes, Trucks, Tyres and Shipwrecks: Australia’s Underwater Cultural Heritage (24 March 2011)

ACT ICOMOS members and guests were lucky enough to attend a fascinating presentation on Australia’s underwater cultural heritage by Dr Leah McKenzie, an archaeologist, and the Director of Strategies and Information, Heritage Division, in the federal Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water and Communities (SEWPaC).

Leah’s presentation included a description of the many types of underwater cultural heritage, including evidence of human habitation, such as Indigenous heritage sites drowned by the climate warming at the end of the Ice Age some 10,000 years ago (although very hard to find), shipwrecks, aircraft wrecks and many other types of isolated sites and artefacts.

The significance of underwater cultural heritage includes its value to the community, tourism potential, ability to represent a snapshot of culture, strong associations as the final resting place of those many people killed at sea, and ecological value as unique marine habitats.

Leah further outlined the many challenges in discovering underwater heritage such as physical and legal restrictions on diving, especially to deep-water wrecks. The management of underwater heritage was also outlined as a unique challenge for the managing bodies, with complex legislation in place including the UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage 2001 and the Australian Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976.

Many anomalies exist in the various legislative instruments including what types of heritage are included (shipwrecks, aircraft wrecks etc.) how old wrecks must be to be considered significant, management of human remains and the ratification of these legislative instruments by individual countries. Leah presented the complexity of the process to ratify the UNESCO international convention that the Australian Government is currently going through (see below).

Legislative constraints also exist around boundaries of management of underwater cultural heritage, including between state/federal waters. These create difficulties for those who want to conserve these places for future generations and protect important relics against illegal looting and trading, which is still legal in many countries. The management of Australian owned vessels in international waters also creates a difficult conundrum for managers, with bilateral agreements being created for many places.

Leah managed to fit a remarkable amount of interesting facts and anecdotes—and images, into her short presentation, sparking an interest in many attendees to learn more about this type of heritage.

11. Report on the 6th Conference of the International Scientific Committee for the Theory and Philosophy of Conservation and Restoration

The Fondazione Romualdo Del Bianco, an Institutional Member and Executive Secretariat of the ICOMOS International Scientific Committee for the Theory and Philosophy of Conservation and Restoration, is pleased to announce that the committee’s annual conference was held, from 4 to 6 March 2011, under the title:

“Paradigm Shift in Heritage Protection? Tolerance for Change, Limits of Change”

The meeting, attended in Florence by the highest-ranking officers of ICOMOS (International Council On Monuments and Sites) and by experts from twenty-four countries and four continents, conducted an overview of developments in the approach and methodologies applicable to the conservation, safeguarding and enhancement of monuments and sites of cultural interest in the various traditions on the planet.

The opening ceremony was held in the historic seat of the Florentine Academy of Art and Design, in the presence of President Luigi Zangheri, of Museum Pole Superintendant Cristina Acidini, of Superintendant for Architectural, Environmental, Historical, Artistic and Ethno-Anthropological Assets Alessandra Marino, of President of the College of Engineers Gennaro Tampone, of President of the Municipal Council Eugenio Giani, of ICOMOS International President Gustavo Araoz, of ICOMOS Vice-President Guo Zhan, President for Asia, of ICOMOS Vice-President Wilfried Lipp, President for Europe and Acting President of the ICOMOS International Scientific Committee for the Theory and Philosophy of Conservation and Restoration, of ICOMOS Scientific Committee for Wood President Gennaro Tampone, and of various ICOMOS national committee presidents, other authorites, and members of the Florentine public.

In particular ICOMOS President Gustavo Araoz, speaking in the course of his inaugural address, voiced his satisfaction in connection with the organisation’s cooperation with the Foundation and, above all, in connection with participation in its cultural agenda, which disseminates in an innovative manner an understanding of the role that cultural assets – through their multiple manifestations, both material and immaterial – can play in the construction of an ethos of peace through dialogue. In particular, President Araoz went on, ICOMOS’ involvement with the Fondazione’s Life Beyond Tourism® programme and, above all, with its Life Beyond Tourism® Non-Profit Portal, which is on the verge of becoming fully operational, have given ICOMOS a new outlook on integrating culture with tourism and the use of our cultural heritage, in an effort to enrich and to inform the public regarding those sectors of society that repay a more in-depth examination, such as cultural institutions and businesses, particularly those that are less well-known.

In the course of the ceremony, the Foundation announced that a ceremony will be held on 14 September 2011 to dedicate the theater in the Auditorium al Duomo in Via Cerretani 54r, Florence, to Prof. Andrzej Tomaszewski, President Emeritus of the ICOMOS International Scientific Committee for the Theory and Philosophy of Conservation and Restoration.

The conference wound up with the presentation of a publication entitled The Image of Heritage: Changing Perception, Permanent Responsibilities, edited by the Fondazione Romualdo Del Bianco®. The volume comprises the proceedings of the previous ICOMOS Committee conference held in Florence in 2009, including the Fondazione Romualdo Del Bianco’s® contribution to the scientific debate, on the theme Cultural Heritage, Tourism, Young People and Intercultural Dialogue on pages 37, (in English), 43 (in Italian), 343 (in English), 345 (in Italian) and on the back cover (in English and Italian). One free copy of the proceedings can be picked up at the offices of the Foundation in Florence – Via Del Giglio, 10 – while stocks last. Further copies may be purchased if so desired.
