1. Save the Date and Call for Presentations: ACT and Region Annual Heritage Partnership Symposium 2016
“INSIDE OUT | OUTSIDE IN” – THE URBAN AND REGIONAL LANDSCAPE
ACT and Region Annual Heritage Partnership Symposium 2016
The Symposium is convened by: Australia ICOMOS, Canberra Archaeological Society, Canberra & District Historical Society and National Trust of Australia (ACT)
Inside Out / Outside In asks how people, practice and planning relate to place making, recognising and celebrating our spaces and shared cultural and natural heritage. The concept of landscape has moved on from its early meaning of open areas of land and planted gardens; based on only aesthetic appeal. How can we extend our understanding of our landscape, the natural, the built and the Indigenous, into better planning of our city, our suburbs and their settings and into a city that understands and draws from its cultural and natural heritage values; from the people, communities, and the environment that inhabit it and exude it?
We are seeking papers from a diverse range of viewpoints; from Aboriginal community members, heritage and museum and practitioners, educators and students, landscape architects, archaeologists, urban planners, property managers, ecologists, artists and community advocates that explore and examine the interactions between people, place and practice focusing on landscape assessment and management, interpretation, urban planning, Aboriginal heritage and intangible cultural heritage.
To propose a paper, please submit a summary to the National Trust (ACT) care of Liz McMillan by email by 27 May 2016.
SYMPOSIUM DETAILS
Date: Saturday 23 July 2016
Venue: Mount Stromlo, Commonwealth Solar Observatory (CSO) Common Room
Cost: $75 non-members, $55 for members of host organisations, $30 concessions
Registration: Details will be available in May 2016

RTI also permits the mathematical enhancement of the subject’s surface shape and color attributes. The enhancement functions of RTI reveal surface information that is not disclosed under direct empirical examination of the physical object. For more information about RTI, applications and CHI click here.

13. MayDay 2016
The meaning of MayDay
MayDay for cultural heritage fuses two concepts – the distress signal, and the first day of May – in order to create a memorable calendar date for events that improve disaster preparedness in archives, galleries, libraries and museums.
The MayDay call was originated in 1923 by Frederick Stanley Mockford (1897–1962). As senior radio officer at Croydon Airport in London, Mockford was asked to think of a word that would indicate distress and be understood by all pilots and ground staff in an emergency. Since much of the traffic at the time was between Croydon and Le Bourget Airport in Paris, he proposed the word “MayDay” from the French m’aider meaning ‘help me’.

24. CHNT 2016, Vienna, 16-18 November – Call for Papers, Posters and Apps
The 21st International Conference on Cultural Heritage and New Technologies (CHNT 2016) will take place at the City Hall of Vienna, Austria from 16-18 November 2016.
Re-use and Repurposing of Archaeological and Historical Material and Data
Ever increasing understanding of our primary sources and technological progress have led to higher and higher standards of recording and analysis in archaeological and historical research.
The corollary is an exponentially growing volume of archives about the past, including written and graphic documentation – both analogue and digital – as well as archaeological finds and samples and historical objects and documents of great scientific value. This heterogeneous collection is extremely precious, often being the only testimony left to witness research and scholarly activity. This data and material must be both securely stored and properly curated to ensure that it remains valid and accessible for reuse, repurposing and new research for both present and future generations. This year’s CHNT will examine ways of achieving these goals.
For more information, visit the conference website.
Submissions of Papers, Posters and Apps are due by 12 June 2016.
