1. Melbourne’s ‘Mini Australia ICOMOS Conference’, October 2014 – CALL FOR OFFERS OF ACCOMMODATION
On 17-18 October, Australia ICOMOS is holding two all-day symposia back-to-back, along with the Australia ICOMOS Annual General Meeting. The program is as follows:
- Friday 17 October: The Return to a New Age of Activism for Cultural Heritage?
- The Australia ICOMOS AGM will be held after the ‘Activism’ symposium
- Saturday 18 October: Grasping the intangible at heritage places
- The launch of the Intangible Cultural Heritage National Scientific Committee (NSC)
Each event is expected to be around $60 to cover catering and venue with a discount for those signing up for both events. Bookings will open next week. More information on each event is provided in the related items below.
Accommodation
It has come to the organisers’ attention that these events coincide with a very large international convention (as well as the Caulfield Cup!), and accommodation in the city is at a premium. Rooms are still available, particularly away from the CBD, and we would encourage members to look to different options such as Airbnb.
BUT!! This circumstance provides a great opportunity for AI members to connect by providing or seeking accommodation in the city over the course of the event, and we would like to facilitate the arrangement of accommodation within our membership for these dates:
- Thursday 16 October
- Friday 17 October
- Saturday 18 October
For hosts
Accordingly, if you feel that you, or someone that you know, could offer accommodation to a visiting symposium-ite, please go to our online spreadsheet and provide details requested.
People seeking accommodation will then contact you.
When your offer has been taken up, please update the spreadsheet.
For visitors
If you require accommodation for some or all of these dates, please choose from the offers on the spreadsheet, contact the offering member/s and make arrangements.
Please email Abi Belfrage if you have any difficulties with the spreadsheet.
We look forward to hearing about Australia ICOMOS members working together to help make these events the great success they promise to be.

2. AICOMOS Symposium: ‘The Return to a New Age of Activism for Cultural Heritage?’
The Return to a New Age of Activism for Cultural Heritage?
- Friday 17 October, 9.00am-4.00pm (followed by the Australia ICOMOS AGM at 4.30pm)
- Deakin University City Campus
550 Bourke Street, Melbourne
This ‘Activism’ symposium asks whether we need to return to an age of activism to retain and build on what achieved in cultural heritage conservation since the 1970s.
Featuring presentations from successful activists in social media, local government, planning community action, the natural environment and the arts, it will offer us a chance to reflect and look forward.
Download the The Return to a New Age of Activism for Cultural Heritage flier.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. AICOMOS Symposium: ‘Grasping the intangible at heritage places’
This Symposium presented by the Australia ICOMOS National Scientific Committee on Intangible Cultural Heritage (NSC-ICH) will explore the connections between the intangible and the tangible aspects of heritage places and cultural heritage, drawing on a range of case studies.
Interested? Follow us on our new website and you’ll be emailed updates on the symposium program and how to register. Visit the NSC-ICH website, look at the Symposium page and click the Follow blue button.
Want to present at the symposium? Our call for papers is open now. Papers are to be 10 or 15 minutes, with 5 minutes for questions and discussion.
Case studies which demonstrate an aspect of intangible cultural heritage are invited, including:
- identifying and recording intangible heritage
- retaining and sustaining heritage values
- interpretation
- linking theory and practice
- challenges and opportunities in applying the Burra Charter
Abstracts of around 100-200 words should be emailed to Meredith Walker by 6 September 2014.
Like to sponsor the Symposium? Look at the sponsorship options on our website and use the Contact page to make contact with the team.
And we’d love more volunteers to help out: Register using the form on the website’s Contact page.

4. Budget cut backs for Australia ICOMOS
Members will have seen in the update report on the Sydney EC meeting last weekend that Australia ICOMOS, like other organisations, is facing budget cuts. Disappointingly, Australia ICOMOS has lost its funding under the Grant to Voluntary Environment, Sustainability and Heritage Organisations Programme (GVESHO) from the Federal Government. This money has made significant contributions to the effectiveness of Australia ICOMOS in the past in relation to activities in Australia, in our region and on the international stage with between $20,000 and $30,000 being awarded annually for the past 6 years. The loss of this funding prompted discussions around our future budgets and looking at more cost effective ways to run the organisation. These include potentially reducing the number of meetings of the EC to 3 per year, and/or remote meetings via skype or equivalent, requesting billeting of EC members in host cities, and restricting EC meeting locations to the area of greatest membership of the EC, now Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. There are other areas in our budget that we have been examining, but these above relate directly to the activities of the Executive Committee. Another proposed cost reduction is to decrease the number of copies of the Annual Report that are printed for the AGM, as the full report is always uploaded to the Australia ICOMOS website. We are looking at trialling this at the next AGM – the full annual report would be made available online prior to the AGM, so that members can refer to it at the AGM, subject to wifi availability.
We would be pleased to hear member’s response to these initiatives and if there are any other suggestions for making our organisation and its management as cost effective as possible. I am happy for you to email suggestions to me.

President, Australia ICOMOS

5. Opportunity to donate to international heritage conservation campaign
Long-standing Australia ICOMOS member Simon Molesworth, Chair of the International National Trusts Organisation (INTO), is raising funds for international heritage conservation. In mid-September Simon, together with fellow National Trust volunteers, is going to walk 120 km of the Camino Inglés – St.James’ Way – over five days from Ferrol on the northern coast of Galicia in Spain to Santiago de Compostela in order to create global public awareness of the INTO’s global heritage conservation work. INTO urgently needs to raise critical funds in order for it to continue to carry out its global work.
INTO has member National Trusts (and like heritage organisations) in about 65 countries. As a heritage movement, INTO is growing, being constantly approached from across the world with queries about heritage conservation and, frequently, how to go about creating new National Trusts – especially in Developing Nations. The call on INTO’s scarce resources – both human and financial – has been enormous and it increases each day.
So Simon has requested his ICOMOS colleagues to help ensure INTO can carry out the job asked of it. He would be most grateful if ICOMOS members assisted him to meet his personal target of Aus$10,000 (GBP 5,500) in sponsorship. Donations can be made securely through PayPal.
For details on how to make a donation, see Simon’s Walk website page.
In anticipation of generous support, Simon has expressed his appreciation to all supporters. With assistance, Simon believes that together we will better ensure a heritage legacy remains for future generations.

7. “Hot and Bothered” forum, SLQ, 29 September
Putting the terms ‘modern architecture’ and ‘heritage’ together suggests for many an oxymoron. This is particularly true in Queensland, where our mid-century modern is increasingly lost to new development, torn down with little public comment or debate.
As part of the Hot Modernism exhibition the Heritage Branch is combining with the University of Queensland to hold a forum “Hot and Bothered” about heritage and mid-century modern architecture. It is being held on Monday 29 September in the afternoon at the SLQ (State Library QLD). It is free event and all who are interested are encouraged to register to attend. Architects in attendance can claim three formal CPD points upon completion of the written assignment provided.

9. RAHS 2014 conference, Mittagong, 25-26 October
Royal Australian Historical Society (RAHS) 2014 Conference
“Moving History”
Mittagong, NSW
25-26 October
History is about the past, it has all happened and can’t be changed. It is immovable. WRONG! History is about change over time and is always moving as we respond to new information that changes our understanding of the past. Each generation asks new questions of the past. In history, we see how people adapted to change as they moved geographically and socially within and beyond their communities. We are emotionally moved by their fears, struggles and achievements. So, come to Mittagong and be moved by Australian history. There will be opportunities to network with people who are committed to promoting local and community history and who enjoy sharing their successes and challenges with others.
For further information, visit the conference website.

13. LUXLAB Advanced Digital Imaging Workshops, UNSW, September 2014
For the first time in Australia, this professionals workshop focuses on practical understandings of new imaging technology for preservation, conservation and, visionary uses in exhibition. LUXLAB Workshop #1 draws on the experience and technologies of Kyoto University’s Advanced Imaging Lab that has scanned of over 8000 seminal artworks and national treasures throughout the world.
LUXLAB is a new initiative of the National Institute for Experimental Arts at UNSW Art & Design, bringing these technologies to the Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAMs) sector regionally while joining a network of laboratories located in the United Kingdom, Europe, Egypt, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and South Korea.
High-resolution optically resolved scanning is a process for scientific recording of cultural heritage, art and archival material which does not involve image interpolation. It is a vital for conservation and preservation, providing true-color, exceptional quality and very high resolution images. These images are the best possible resources for scientific analysis and colour science, but also provide cultural organisations with unparalleled opportunities for making their collections available for diverse public audiences. LUXLAB engages with the frontiers of imaging technologies, with 4K and 8K revolution in screen and tablets, in immersive environment design and web enabled streaming.

15. “Ruins of the Heritagization” congress: Rio de Janeiro/Paris Nov 2014/March 2015 – call for papers
“Ruins of the Heritagization”
Rio de Janeiro, November 2014 / Paris, March 2015
Over the last two or three decades the growth of cultural heritage movements concern objects increasingly diverse at multiple scales. Many artistic, economic, political and scientific efforts have been made to acquire some labels – including the world heritage – that not only affect the possibility of cross-cultural recognition, but also has real effects on the cultures themselves. The new regime of visibility on cultural heritage influences on identity construction, favors growth through tourism, significantly influences the price of land and also a profound change in the local population. Some collective practices then tend to disappear while others are established in a movement that creates conflict or, truly, re-signifies them.
The aim of ‘Ruins of the Heritagization’ is to institute an archeology of territories considered as being ‘heritage’ focusing the “ruins” produced by the process of labelling cities. This implies borrowing archeology its ability to interrogate the ruins, which can only be read or considered as such in the present – specific place where the recognition of the past is featured and, potentially, that of the future.
See the Ruins of the Heritagization – call for papers for further information. The deadline for proposals is 30 September 2014.

16. Conservation Management Planning workshop, Canberra, 27 September
Conservation Management Planning:
the What, Why and How for Historic Gardens, Landscapes and Buildings
A workshop organised by the Australian Garden History Society, ACT Monaro Riverina Branch
Date & Time: 8.45am to 2pm, Saturday 27 September 2014 – this date is during Floriade so it may suit people from outside the region to combine the workshop with a visit to Canberra.
Venue: St John’s Anglican Church precinct, 45 Constitution Avenue, Reid
The term Conservation Management Plan (CMP) is frequently used in the “heritage business” but is foreign to most of us. Just what are CMPs? How do they work? Why do we need to know about them?
The ACT Monaro Riverina Branch of the AGHS has put together a workshop to help answer some of these questions. Appropriately, the workshop will be at St John’s Reid, one of Canberra’s most historic sites.
For further information, including the program and registration form, download the Conservation Management Planning registration brochure.
