2. AusHeritage Sydney Talk – Tuesday 29 October 2013
‘The Street of Harmony’: Cultural Heritage and Religious Pluralism in George Town,
a New World Heritage City
presented by Khoo Salma, President of the Penang Heritage Trust, Penang, Malaysia
George Town, Penang, is listed together with Melaka as the Historic Cities of the Straits of Malacca, a new UNESCO World Heritage Site. Established as a British East India Company trading post in 1786, George Town has a long history as a multicultural city. The site’s Outstanding Universal Values are concentrated in Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling (Pitt Street) which features mosques, Chinese temples, a Hindu temple and a church side by side. The speaker will describe the evolution of this street in the context of the historic port, touching on recent celebrations of, and challenges to, the notion of the ‘Street of Harmony’. She will illustrate how various communities reaffirm their sense of belonging yet share urban spaces, thus contributing to a common sense of place.
Khoo Salma Nasution is a fifth generation Penang peranakan and a writer, publisher and heritage advocate. She is currently president of Penang Heritage Trust and custodian of the Sun Yat Sen Museum, Penang. As co-founder of Little Penang Street Market through Lestari Heritage Network, she is involved in growing Penang’s creative economy. Salma has written or co-written more than a dozen books on Penang and Perak, on the subjects of social history, cultural heritage and sustainable development. Her publishing company Areca Books has four titles listed on the Malaysian National Book Council’s ’50 Best Malaysian Titles 2011′. She promotes heritage networking in Southeast Asia and is an Asian Public Intellectual (API) Fellow of the Nippon Foundation.

He studied architecture at the National School of Architecture ( ENA ) of the UNAM . He soon falls in love with our cultural heritage and meets historians and professors who will influence his youth. He travels to Spain, France and Italy for his post graduate and doctoral studies.
Upon returning to Mexico he becomes a professor in various universities, including the Faculty of Architecture of the UNAM, the University of Guanajuato and the Autonomous Metropolitan University. He is founder of the post graduate course in Restoration in the Paul Coremans Center UNESCO – OAS and chair of Theory of Restoration at the National School of Conservation, Restoration and Museology ” Manuel del Castillo Negrete ” of the National Institute of Anthropology and History.
Since the enactment of the Federal Law on Archaeological, Artistical and Historical Monuments and Zones in 1972, he promotes the study of “Zones of Monuments” across the country. Finally, from Mexico’s accession in 1984 to the 1972 UNESCO Convention, he promotes the inscription on the World Heritage List of some 20 heritage sites, including cities , archaeological sites and monasteries of the 16th C.
One of the first teachers on the theory of restoration in Mexico, author of countless books and articles, UNESCO expert and ICCROM delegate .

It was established in honour of Rhys Jones (1941-2001) to mark his enormous contribution to the development and promotion of archaeology in Australia. The Medal is presented annually to an individual who has made an outstanding and sustained contribution to the field.

The Award was established in honour of John Mulvaney and his contribution and commitment to Australian archaeology over a lifetime of professional service. It acknowledges the significant contribution of individual or co-authored publications to the archaeology of the continent of Australia, the Pacific, Papua-New Guinea and South-East Asia, either as general knowledge or as specialist publications. Nominations are considered annually for books that cover both academic pursuits and public interest, reflecting the philosophy of John Mulvaney’s life work.

3. THE BRUCE VEITCH AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN INDIGENOUS ENGAGEMENT
This Award celebrates the important contribution that Bruce Veitch (1957-2005) made to the practice and ethics of archaeology in Australia. In particular, the award honours Bruce’s close collaboration with traditional owners on whose country he worked. It is awarded annually to any individual or group who has had long-standing and sustained engagement with Indigenous communities during archaeological or cultural heritage projects which have produced significant outcomes for Indigenous interests.

Nominees will have actively engaged with Indigenous communities to produce successful outcomes.

10. Heritage Tasmania’s new phone numbers
Heritage Tasmania has changed all of its landline telephone numbers.
Their new reception number in Hobart is (03) 6165 3700 and their main number in Launceston is (03) 6777 2071, but their toll free number of 1300 850 332 and fax numbers north and south remain unchanged.
As a result each member of staff has a new landline number. Transitional arrangements are in place so that if you ring an old number you will be redirected to the new number, but this will only occur for the next few weeks.
Staff have updated the information in their email signature block, so you can get the new number for individual staff that way, or when you call a staff member direct.
The new numbers are also available online on the Tasmanian Government Directory.

12. HERITAGE 2014 – 4th International Conference on Heritage and Sustainable Development, Portugal, 2014 – call for papers & panel proposals
HERITAGE 2014
4th International Conference on Heritage and Sustainable Development
Guimarães, Portugal
22-25 July 2014
Organised by: Green Lines Institute for Sustainable Development
HERITAGE 2014 – 4th International Conference on Heritage and Sustainable Development follows the path of the previous editions: it aims at establishing a state of the art event regarding the relationships between forms and kinds of heritage and the framework of sustainable development concepts.
Once again the four dimensions of sustainable development (environment, economics, society and culture) are the pillars of this event, defining a singular approach on how to deal with the specific subject of heritage sustainability. Furthermore, beyond the traditional aspects of heritage preservation and safeguarding, the relevance and significance of the sustainable development concept is to be discussed and scrutinised by some of the most eminent worldwide experts.
Nowadays, heritage preservation and safeguarding is facing new and complex problems. Degradation of Heritage sites is not any more just a result of materials ageing or environmental actions. Factors such as global and local pollution, climate change, poverty, religion, tourism, commodification, ideologies and war (among others) are now in the cutting edge for the emerging of new approaches, concerns and visions about heritage.
Thus, Heritage 2014 – 4th International Conference on Heritage and Sustainable Development proposes a global view on how heritage is being contextualized in relation with the four dimensions of sustainable development. What is being done in terms of research, future directions, methodologies, working tools and other significant aspects of both theoretical and field approaches will be the aims of this International Conference. Furthermore, heritage governance, and education are brought into discussion as the key factors for enlightenment of future global strategies for heritage preservation and safeguarding.
A special chapter on Heritage and Cultural Tourism was included in this edition, as cultural tourism became a major theme and a major area of research. Applied field research as well as theoretical approaches are welcome in this special chapter that is meant to be a wide and meaningful forum of debate on this topic.
HERITAGE 2014 is a peer reviewed conference.
- Official language of the conference for publication purposes is ENGLISH. Therefore, abstracts and papers must be submitted in English
- Official languages of the conference for oral presentations are ENGLISH, SPANISH and PORTUGUESE
- Parallel sessions will be organised according to the working language
Visit the conference website for full details about the conference scope, topics and submission procedures.
Abstract submission deadline: 30 November 2013

15. Change Over Time Fall 2015 issue – call for papers
Change Over Time is a semiannual journal publishing original articles on the history, theory, and praxis of conservation and the built environment. Each issue is dedicated to a particular theme as a method to promote critical discourse on contemporary conservation issues from multiple perspectives both within the field and across disciplines. Themes are examined at all scales, from the global and regional to the microscopic and material.
LANDSCAPE AND CLIMATE CHANGE – Fall 2015 issue
Deadline: 1 September 2014
This issue will explore many facets of the impacts of climate change on significant cultural landscapes. We look for a range of topics that include case studies, theoretical and philosophical examinations of this topic, the position of cultural landscapes in the larger historic preservation discourse on climate change, and applicable lessons from other disciplines. The goal is to provide a basis from which our responses to known and unknown impacts of climate on cultural landscapes can be advanced.
Questions and submissions should be emailed to Meredith Keller. For further information about the journal visit the journal website.

17. News from The Best in Heritage
A point of reference in building professionalism and unity in the wide and fragmented domain of heritage
The 12th edition of “The Best in Heritage” confirmed the project as a unique and inspiring gathering of wide scope of heritage professionals. The event featured presentations of twenty-four award-winning museum, heritage and conservation projects from 19 countries – coming from 5 continents. Altogether 140 participants from 32 countries gave the gathering a truly global character where colleagues, sometimes working in completely different environments, met and exchanged experiences and know-how. The City of Dubrovnik again proved to be a perfect host, both because of the enchanting atmosphere of UNESCO World heritage site and local support of the City and Dubrovnik Museums.
Presentations were versatile and stimulating, representing almost all aspects of best, present-day practices. Frequent interaction between the audience and presenters, followed by moderated panel discussions, gave every attendee a chance to contribute to the interchange of ideas, insights and added to inspiration for new solutions. The mixture of cultural, organisational and occupational practices, all under the common denominator of most successful practices, showed to be the unique formula of this conference. Unlike most of the others which rightfully offer specialist insights, this one offers a panorama and issuing cross-fertilizing inspiration.
________________________________________
From this array of best practices the audience choose the Best formal presentation: Glasnevin Museum, laureate of European Museum Forum’s Kenneth Hudson Award 2012, brilliantly presented by John Green and Peter Harbison. A recognition of professionalism, by a group of professionals is a important accolade indeed and we are proud to be able to be a part of their success. Glasnevin Museum will join The Best in Heritage presentation at Exponatec Cologne, together with Riverside Museum, Martello Media Ltd and Dragodid. Visit Exponatec, 20-22 November.
________________________________________
The initiative to gather as many as possible top representatives of global or international heritage organisations (ICOM, UNESCO, ICOMOS, INTO, EMF and others) and unite them with one representing the civil sector (Europa Nostra), proved to be an additional prestigious feature: Global Heritage Forum meetings and the final panel discussion added to the importance of the conference. Also, there were eCultValue Dialogue Day sessions organised in partnership with European Museum Forum taking place in the Art Galery Dubrovnik, where 50 experts exchanged experiences and ideas on use of technology in the heritage sector.

Beautiful images have been taken by our two photographers Domagoj Rezic and Klaudio Pozniak – a compact selection has been made and can be viewed on flickr. All presentations have been filmed and the video footage will be made available periodically throughout 2013 and 2014.
