4. Dr. James Broadbent to visit Newstead House

The Board of Trustees of Newstead House are delighted to confirm the engagement of renowned historian and conservator Dr. James Broadbent who will visit the property during early February 2015. 

The iconic building is Brisbane’s oldest surviving residence built in 1846 and is currently presented as a house museum furnished in the late Victorian Boom Style.  The interpretation originally undertaken by the Board of Trustees in the 1970s reflects two significant periods in the home’s history and the families who gave residence.   The early days represented in the lower level during the Leslie/Wickham period (1840s – 1860s) and the “Glory Days” reflected in the upstairs during the Harris period (1860s – 1890s).

Dr. Broadbent’s extensive knowledge of early colonial history will provide a reappraisal of the furnishings in the house allowing for a more authentic interpretation of the styles and customs. It is intended that this project will provide a direct and practical guide for presenting the rooms, and also offer unique insights as to how the house would have been used.

If you would like further information on the Interpretation Project at Newstead House email Newstead House or visit the Newstead House website.

9. UNITAR Management & Conservation of World Heritage Sites 2015 workshop – call for registrations

The deadline for applications is: Monday 23 February 2015

The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) Hiroshima Office is calling for registrations for the 2015 Workshop, which will examine the crucial areas of Protection and Management in the process of World Heritage Nominations.

SERIES OUTLINE

The UNITAR Series on the Management and Conservation of World Heritage Sites, launched in 2003, has thus far comprised twelve annual Workshops held in Hiroshima and one in-country Workshop in India. With over 350 Alumni to date the Workshops offer a set of innovative approaches to heritage conservation, including:

  • A values-based management approach examining the significance of the properties to be conserved
  • The fusion of cultural and natural heritage management
  • The recognition of both the tangible and intangible aspects of heritage values
  • Focused analysis of specific areas of the nomination process

SERIES LINKS

2015 WORKSHOP: FOCUS

The 2015 Workshop, entitled Protection and Management Requirements for Nominations, will examine the basics of the World Heritage regime, as well as focusing upon the expectations and requirements needed to effectively prepare a comprehensive World Heritage nomination. The workshop will particularly focus on the fundamental need to prepare and implement effective management and protection of properties for their Outstanding Universal Value.

For inscription on the World Heritage List, natural and cultural sites must not only meet at least one of ten World Heritage criteria, the property must also have thorough and detailed protection and a management system or plan to ensure its safeguarding. The workshop will therefore examine how to identify needs in management; measures for protection; how to address challenges that may arise; and how to develop and implement effective systems.

2015 WORKSHOP: DATES AND LOCATION

  • The dates for the 2015 Workshop are: Monday 20 – Friday 24 April
  • The Workshop will be held in: Hiroshima, Japan

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

10. Online Workshop: Intangible Cultural Heritage, February 2015

Intangible Cultural Heritage includes the ‘practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills … that communities, groups and, in some cases, individuals recognize as part of their cultural heritage’ (UNESCO 2003:Article 2). UNESCO’s recognition of Intangible Cultural Heritage has led to questions about its identification, protection, and sustainability, the role of the associated community, and the connection of intangible heritage to tangible heritage – place and object.

This online workshop, led by Australia ICOMOS member Marilyn Truscott, focuses on these questions and issues, combining theoretical discussion with practical examples.

Standard Fee: $240

Three scheduled online sessions: Wed, Feb 11, Feb 18 & Feb 25, 2015 from 3pm-5pm PDT

Registration closes: 28 January 2015

14. Heritage and Technology conference, 11-13 June 2015, Italy

Heritage and Technology. Mind, Knowledge, Experience
Aversa, Capri, Italy
11-13 June 2015

The theme of the thirteenth Forum “Le Vie dei Mercanti” aims to investigate the complex relationship that develops between technological innovation, knowledge, enjoyment and protection of cultural heritage and the landscape. This leads to the need for an international multidisciplinary comparison in order to explore the questions and issues that are being debated not only in academia, but also among those who govern, manage and control Public Administrations, Institutions and businesses.

The subtitle specifies the macro areas: Mind, intended as both speculative thought as well as the preparation of a methodological process; the subject who investigates, establishes an inescapable destiny with the object analyzed at different scales of analysis, from the architectural structure and design, to the infrastructure and the landscape; Knowledge, as the historicizing of the state of the art reached by the disciplinary skills, integrated with those of material culture, humus generative of innovation for the formation of a human capital that continues to grow; Experience, the representation and sharing of results obtained with good practices, exemplary and paradigmatic, as patrimonial value for humanity to achieve a better quality of life and places created working with Art.

The conference is open to multidisciplinary experiences on one or more of the proposed themes. Scholars are invited to present research on either the theoretical and methodological aspects or concrete applications carried out on these issues.

Important dates

  • 20 January 2015: Deadline for submission of abstracts
  • 10 February 2015: Notification to authors
  • 25 March 2015: Deadline for submission of full papers (only for accepted abstracts)
  • 15 April 2015: Notification to authors
  • 5 May 2015: Deadline for early registration (At least one author of an accepted paper)

17. PhD Concentration in Cultural Heritage and Preservation Studies, Rutgers Dept of Art History

Rutgers Department of Art History is pleased to announce the creation of a Concentration in Cultural Heritage and Preservation Studies within its Ph.D. Program in Art History.

This 12 credit (approx. 25+ ECTS) concentration provides the opportunity for students working toward a Ph.D. in Art or Architectural History to broaden and give depth to their areas of specialization through the exploration of cross-disciplinary and global approaches to the analysis of monuments, sites and works of art, as well as the intangible elements associated with them, within the context of World Heritage.

The concentration is offered through the Program in Cultural Heritage and Preservation Studies, and is an appropriate complement to all fields of specialization offered within Rutgers’ Department of Art History. Students are encouraged to think broadly and cross-culturally, and to integrate relevant theory and practice into their art historical research, writing, and teaching. The concentration provides participants with opportunities for advanced research and exchanges made possible through CHAPS’ Memorandum of Understanding with UNESCO’s World Heritage Centre, inaugurated in 2013, as well as with additional areas of competence that will enhance career opportunities both outside and within academia.

18. Port Arthur Penitentiary’s future assured, PAHSMA media release

Australia ICOMOS is committed to the dissemination of relevant cultural heritage information. In line with this commitment we are circulating the following media release from the Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority (PAHSMA), dated 22 January 2015.

Tasmanian Premier Will Hodgman has joined Federal Heritage Minister Greg Hunt and State Heritage Minister Matthew Groom, along with PAHSMA Chair Professor Sharon Sullivan to formally re-open Port Arthur’s Penitentiary following a major conservation project at the world heritage listed site to restabilise the emblematic ruin and ensure its conservation for future generations.

The project has been a landmark project for PAHSMA, and demonstrates a capacity to deliver best practice conservation works to a building within a World Heritage listed site using local skills and labour.

The Tasmanian Government contributed $3million to the project, the Federal Government $1.5million, with the balance of the $7.2million cost being covered by PAHSMA through revenue raised by its tourism operations.

Originally constructed as a flour mill and granary, the Penitentiary was converted to house convicts in 1857 and was capable of housing over 480 convicts in dormitory accommodation and separate apartments. At the time of construction, it was the largest building in Tasmania and remains Australia’s most potent symbol of its penal origins.

The Penitentiary was gutted by fires during the 1890s, destroying many of the original building features which provided its structural support. Since this time, it has been managed as a ruin in recognition of the multilayered history of the place.

In 2011 parts of the building were inundated with water following an extreme weather event. This event triggered a reassessment of the structural integrity of the Penitentiary and confirmed the requirement for a major stabilisation project.

Commencing in early 2014, the project has seen the implementation of a suite of structural interventions including:

  • the installation of reinforced concrete ground beams supporting 14 huge steel columns;
  • around 5 kilometres of stainless steel reinforcing rod which has been grouted into brickwork joints;
  • the installation of 91 high tensile stainless steel grouted structural anchors which have been precision  drilled vertically down through the walls; and
  • the addition of  stainless steel bracing plates which are concealed beneath the sandstone cornice.

Archaeological excavations undertaken prior to the main construction works have offered new insights into the conversion of the granary into a Penitentiary and towards understanding how the early foreshore in the area was developed.

The project ensures the long-term conservation of the structure. It also provides the opportunity to interpret the building in new and exciting ways that will enhance the visitor experience, which will be done over coming months.
