1. Vale Dr Carlotta Kellaway
Dr Carlotta Kellaway (1925-2017)
Carlotta Kellaway at a Professional Historians Association annual dinner held at the Lyceum Club, Melbourne
Australia ICOMOS members will be saddened to hear that Dr Carlotta Kellaway died on Wednesday 22 March 2017 in her ninety-second year. Carlotta was a well-respected member of ICOMOS and much loved in her home state of Victoria. Indeed, from the mid-1970s when she started work at the National Trust, she was one of the key professionals who established the research rigour which underpin today’s heritage processes. Simon Molesworth AM QC, a former Chairman of the NTA (Vic) has said ‘Carlotta contributed so much to the intellectual underpinning of the National Trust’s work’. This role continued at the Heritage Branch (now Heritage Victoria) from the early 1980s when she brought a fresh awareness of the social dimension of heritage significance. She also had a remarkable knowledge of historical sources which she was always happy to share. Her clear English expression, brevity and wry insight were very persuasive in the assessment of the significance of a place. Ray Tonkin PSM, the former Executive Director of HV has said ‘Her natural modesty and “back room” nature shouldn’t undermine her significance to the heritage industry’. Required to retire from the Public Service at 65, Carlotta began to work freelance for several leading heritage consultants. Her name on a report gave it credibility.
Carlotta was educated at Methodist Ladies College, Kew and, at the age of just 16, was accepted into Melbourne University. She mixed in bohemian circles, became a Communist and a feminist, and was one of the relatively few women students there. She completed her Master of Arts under Prof Manning Clark and, when she graduated in 1949, as Carlotta Ellis, she ‘gained the unusual distinction’ of being ‘the only woman in Australia to have majored in political science for her MA’ (Argus, 25 April, 1949, p. 12). She became a journalist at the Argus, where her father worked. In 1970 she enrolled full-time in a PhD at La Trobe University. During this time she worked with Frank Strahan, the founder of Melbourne University Archives, beginning its seminal collection of records from the Australian Labor Party and the Victorian Trades Hall Council. Her thesis ‘The Melbourne Trades Hall Council: Its Origins and Political Significance, 1855–1889’ was passed in 1973. Within a year she became one of the first professional historians in Australia. Carlotta was a trail blazer and set the standard nationally for an inclusive, democratic approach to historical research.
Australia ICOMOS offers its deepest condolences to Carlotta’s family, friends and colleagues.
Carlotta’s family has extended a warm invitation to her colleagues to attend her funeral, which will be held at Basilica Funerals, 297 High Street, Thomastown (NW cnr Pleasant Rd), (Melways, Map 8 J7) at 1:00pm on Tuesday 4 April.

2. Call for EOI for the Cultural Heritage and Climate Change Working Group
Call for Australia ICOMOS members working or researching in the area of the impacts of climate change on cultural heritage places and values
The Cultural Heritage and Climate Change Working Group started off with great energy and enthusiasm arising out of a recommendation from the 2007 ICOMOS conference and following a survey of members on the issue. The role of this committee is to raise awareness of the issues relating to cultural heritage conservation arising from Climate Change both in the public and government sectors
The World Heritage Committee, the World Heritage Centre and the advisory bodies have all recognised the danger that climate change impacts pose for World Heritage places. In Australia several government departments have completed baseline studies considering the impact of climate change on heritage assets and coastal infrastructure.
It is timely now to refresh this working group and regalvanise the activities of Australia ICOMOS in relation to this important area. Our work plan is now out of date and developing a new agreed plan will be our first task. To that end we are calling for members who are either working or research active in this area or who have responsibilities for managing heritage places where climate change impacts are a concern.
If you are interested in being part of this working group please email Susan McIntyre-Tamwoy by COB 7 April and provide a brief account of your interest and experience with the topic. Working Groups members are expected to actively participate in the work of the committee so please ensure that you are willing and able to participate in at least 4 meetings per year and in taking on some activity in this area between meetings that will be needed to advance the work plan.

5. Australia ICOMOS VIC/TAS Mentoring Program – calling for Victorian and Tasmanian Members!
Australia ICOMOS launched its student mentoring program in Victoria in 2012 following an earlier trial in the ACT, and it now runs in New South Wales and Victoria. The program supports members to share their knowledge and networks with students looking toward careers in heritage.
As the program has now run with enthusiastic responses from both mentors and mentees, we are very pleased to be offering it in Victoria and Tasmania for 2017.
When naming their favourite aspect of the program, the majority of previous mentors named the personal contact (we both learned from each other; refreshing to talk to the younger generation; good to know there is actually a pool of interested people; like the opportunity to help a new person into the profession), and almost all felt that they were able to make a valuable contribution to the knowledge and career prospects of their mentee. All respondents enjoyed it so much; they said they would be happy to do it again.
Students in heritage-related post-graduate programs at Deakin University, the University of Melbourne, Federation University and Latrobe University (based in Victoria), and Deakin off-campus students based in Tasmania will be invited to apply for the program.
We usually have many more students than mentors apply – this restricts the size of the program, so we are hoping that all ICOMOS members based in Victoria and Tasmania will consider participating this year.
What is required?
While the mentoring arrangements will vary, we ask that mentors meet with their mentees at least 3 times during the program between May and October. These meetings allow discussion about issues involved in heritage practice, and the student’s study and work interests.
There will be a social event held in late April to introduce mentoring pairs. If you wish to be a mentor or a mentee, it is not essential to attend, although this is an easy way to meet and set up the first meeting, as well as networking with other students and colleagues.
There will be a brief evaluation questionnaire distributed at the end of the year that we ask all participants to complete and return.
How do I get involved as a MENTOR?
If you would like to contribute to this valuable (and enjoyable) effort this year, and be an ICOMOS MENTOR, please email an expression of interest to Georgia Meros at the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat by email by 17 April 2017.
Please provide your contact details (email and a work or mobile number) and a brief outline of your field of professional experience and current practice. This will assist the Mentoring Team in matching mentors and mentees.
Mentors must be Full ICOMOS members, and can have professional experience in any sector of cultural heritage practice. We will try to ‘match’ by interest as many students and mentors as possible.
How do I get involved as a MENTEE?
Students in participating university courses will be advised of the application process by the focal point at their university.
All applications must be received by the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat by 17 April 2017. We will try to ‘match’ by interest as many mentoring pairs as possible.
When do we start?
We will be matching students and mentors next month, and will launch this year’s program with an event in late April. More information about the launch will be sent to participants in the program.
We hope that all members based in Victoria or Tasmania will welcome this opportunity to participate in the efforts of Australia ICOMOS and its partners to support young professionals across a range of cultural heritage disciplines.

9. Port Arthur Talks, Wednesday 12 April 2017
Thirty-nine men from Carnarvon
presented by Graham Speight
This is the story of the men from the Carnarvon (Port Arthur) district who went to fight in the Great War.
When war broke out 220 people lived in Carnarvon. Thirty-nine of their sons, husbands, fathers and brothers answered the call. Twenty-two of these men were not to return; another 13 were seriously wounded. The impact on the small town of Carnarvon was profound. 1917 was the bloodiest of the years in WWI and the Australians were in the thick of the fighting. We will track these local men through the war and focus on their whereabouts on this day 100 years ago.
Graham is a tour-guide at Port Arthur. He is actively involved with the Tasman Peninsula Historical Society and was one of those responsible for last year’s ‘Local Heroes’ exhibition. Graham has extensively researched the military history at Port Arthur and has written two articles on the topic for the ‘Tasman Peninsula Chronicle’.
When: Wednesday 12 April 2017 at 5.30pm
Where: Junior Medical Officer’s House Conference Room (the building at rear of the house), Port Arthur Historic Site

17. Australia ICOMOS – Canberra Talk Series
Sustainable Heritage? How does sustaining Cultural Heritage relate to Sustainable Tourism?
A panel with Rachel Jackson, Penny Spoelder and a member of the Ngunnawal community
This year’s theme for 18 April – the ICOMOS International Day on Monuments and Sites – is Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Tourism. This theme provokes various questions:
What is Sustainable Tourism when related to Cultural Heritage, what is ‘Sustainable Heritage? Is an emphasis on the economic viability of tourism a detriment to heritage? What are issues for maintaining a place’s heritage values, whether its physical form or a community’s intangible connections? The panel will present perspectives on these questions to be followed by a Q&A.
A member of the Ngunnawal community is expected to share how visiting Indigenous sites is both a positive experience for visitors, yet a potential risk and impact on cultural values and protocols.
Rachel Jackson, GML Heritage Principal actively promotes the importance of heritage in a sustainability context and is a member of ICOMOS International Scientific Committee for Energy and Sustainability, and the Australia ICOMOS national committee for this topic. Rachel specialises in heritage projects for complex heritage sites, with a focus on cultural landscape management, heritage sustainability and adaptive reuse. She has provided heritage advice for significant heritage places such as the Australian War Memorial, Old Parliament House, the Port Arthur Historic Site, and the Australian National University.
Penny Spoelder is the new Director of ACT Historic Places. Her work experience encompasses conservation planning and management and commercial use across Australia: at Kosciuszko alpine resorts, Goat Island, Quarantine Station North Head, and Fort Denison in Sydney, Port Arthur and Maria Island in Tasmania, the Houtman Abrolhos Islands in WA, and Fort Queenscliff, Victoria. She has also worked in New Zealand, the South Pacific, and for the UN in Mongolia.
See other discussions of this topic at the Australia ICOMOS website.

20. Shared Built Heritage Study Tour, West Bengal, 1-8 December 2017
With the Indian National Scientific Committee for Shared Built Heritage (NSC SBH), the International Scientific Committee on Shared Built Heritage (ISC SBH), has organised another annual study tour, this time of West Bengal, to take place on 1-8 December 2017.
“This landscape is a physical testimony to the rise and fall of colonial ambitions in India, beginning with the Mughal capital of Bengal at Murshidabad, followed by colonial trading posts of the French at Chandernagore, Danish at Serampore, Dutch at Chinsurah and the Portuguese at Bandel, and finally the British capital at Calcutta (now Kolkata). The tour is planned to explore the shared built heritage of each of these settlements that is linked by the Hooghly river and the symposium shall provide the opportunity to explore the issues and challenges faced for their conservation and development. The tour will be stationed in Calcutta, also the symposium venue, and short trips would be designed to familiarise the participants with the area as well as the context of this heritage.”
The symposium provides the occasion to meet local practitioners, NCOs and government persons, and for these people a rare chance to have dialogue about heritage management with others from around the world.
NOTE:
- The study tour is the WEEK PRIOR to the ICOMOS General Assembly in Delhi, India
- ISC SBH will hold an Asian general meeting on Saturday 9 December 2017 in Delhi, India
Study tour numbers are limited – see the NSC Shared Built Heritage Tour and Symposium Flyer for the programme and examples of sites. NSC SBH & ICOMOS India will also provide information on the official GA website.
Australia ICOMOS members please contact Sue Jackson-Stepowski, ISC SBH Vice President by email.

21. International Cultural Heritage Expert Symposium & Workshop, Florence, 18-19 May – call for abstracts deadline extended to 18 April
Cultural Heritage Conservation and Sustainable Tourism
International Expert Symposium
&
International Cultural Tourism Charter Review +20 Workshop
ICOMOS International Cultural Tourism Committee (ICTC) welcomes your contribution to our International Expert Symposium & Workshop to be held in Florence on Thursday 18 – Friday 19 May 2017.
Working alongside UNESCO and (World Tourism Organization) UNWTO we are celebrating ICOMOS International Day for Monuments and Sites 2017 on the theme – Cultural Heritage & Sustainable Tourism – chosen to coincide with the United Nations International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development 2017 (IYSTD). In addition, our meeting will further ICOMOS discussions relating to cultural tourism and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) 2030.
We are looking to share expertise and place cultural heritage conservation in the forefront of thinking about the future of cultural tourism and sustainable tourism development & sustainable tourism for development. We hope you will join us either by giving an oral presentation based on an abstract to be submitted by the extended deadline of 18 April 2017, or by joining in the conversation, or both. Selected abstracts will be chosen for development and publication of full papers by ICTC in time for the ICOMOS General Assembly in Delhi, India, December 2017.
In ICOMOS we should recall that we already have a distinguished record of providing leadership in this field with the first ICOMOS International Cultural Tourism Charter in 1976 and the second endorsed by ICOMOS General Assembly in Mexico in 1999.
ICTC’s International Symposium and Workshop, Florence 2017, marks the start of the Charter Review process. Evidence in the form of current conceptual thinking, research and case studies will underpin our Charter Review and form the background to the ICOMOS ICTC Florence Declaration 2017. Further information is available in the ICTC Florence Symposium 2017 – Information Document and the ICTC Florence Symposium 2017 – Call for Abstracts; all queries can be emailed to the ICTC Symposium & Workshop organisers.
