6. International Day for Monuments and Sites – 18 April 2012
About the theme for 2012
World Heritage – The theme for 2012 has been chosen to mark the 40th anniversary of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, which was adopted in 1972. The focus will be on “World Heritage and Sustainable Development: the Role of Local Communities” – which spans their involvement in the nomination process, management and conservation of properties, but also as actors and beneficiaries from a socio-economic perspective, and holders of indigenous management practices and traditional knowledge. ICOMOS welcomes the theme chosen as it represents a continuation of the theme of the ICOMOS 17th General Assembly Scientific Symposium.
Further information on the theme and the events celebrating The International Day for Monuments and Sites for 2012 will be available after the 17th General Assembly to be held in Paris, France (27 November – 2 December 2011).
The International Day for Monuments and Sites Coordinator, Kerime Danis, welcomes the AI members’ ideas on potential events. Please email your State Representative or email Kerime.

8. Request for participation in online survey – archaeologists who work in Western Australia
Dear Colleagues,
I am currently undertaking a research project that explores and critiques current methodologies used and attitudes towards archaeological significance assessments in Western Australia, with a particular focus on Indigenous sites and the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972.
I am seeking the participation of archaeologists who work in Western Australia to complete the online survey.
Please note that this survey is only available for a short period and closes on the 28 October 2011.
I would encourage all archaeologists who have practiced in Western Australia at any stage to complete the survey, as I would like a broad representation.
This project is being undertaking in partial fulfilment of a Masters of Applied Cultural Heritage through Curtin University in Perth and has been approved by the Curtin University Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC), approval number BE-64-2011.
Please feel free to email me offline if you have any questions about the project.
