1. [NEW ITEM] Australia ICOMOS / DOCOMOMO / AIA NSW Chapter Sydney Talk Series, 15 June
Introducing the Australia ICOMOS National Scientific Committee on Fortifications and Military Heritage
ICOFORT
ICOFORT – the International Scientific Committee on Fortifications and Military Heritage – was formed by ICOMOS in 2005 and was established to engage with the heritage conservation issues related to structures, landscapes and monuments associated with military heritage. There is now an Australia ICOMOS National Scientific Committee on Fortifications and Military Heritage. This talk by Dr Matthew Kelly is designed to introduce members to some aspects of military heritage around the world and in Australia and to also announce the development of the National Scientific Committee focusing on Australian military and conflict heritage. This introductory talk will also hopefully encourage ICOMOS members to consider joining this new National Scientific Committee and engage with the issues related to managing this form of heritage in a modern world.
The talk will be preceded by a free tour of the Dawes Point Battery, with Denis Gojak.
DR MATTHEW KELLY
Matthew Kelly is an experienced historical archaeologist, from Sydney, Australia, with a wide range of excavation and survey experience both in Australia, the south-west Pacific and Europe. Matthew has worked in both colonial heritage management and archaeology since the 1990s. Matthew’s overseas experience includes research projects in Portugal, Germany, Austria and Luxemborg. More recently his international work has been focussed on the survey of WW2 battlefield and defence sites in PNG on the Kokoda Track and the Sogeri Plateau – outside Post Moresby, and the remote sensing survey of two WW1 battlefields in Northern France. Matthew is also part of a larger team undertaking a survey of colonial and military archaeological sites in East New Britain, under an ARC Linkage Grant with James Cook University, Cairns.

2. [NEW ITEM] Port Arthur Talks, Thursday 22 June 2017
Runaway Convicts: Absconding Patterns in Colonial Australia
presented by Professor Hamish Maxwell- Stewart
Until recently many historians have down-played the rate of convict resistance. Recent research suggests that we might have to rethink this. Between 1824 and 1860 over 22,000 reward notices for runaway convicts were placed in the Van Diemen’s Land Government Gazette. Tens of thousands more appeared in the New South Wales equivalent. This paper uses this data to explore runaway patterns. Comparing these with other unfree societies, including slavery in the United States, it argues that convicts were highly mobile and that much of this withdrawal of labour was connected to work place resistance. This explains why the colonial state took absconding so seriously. Runaways were savagely punished, many of them ending up in penal stations like Port Arthur.
Hamish Maxwell-Stewart is a Professor of social history in the School of Humanities at the University of Tasmania. His research uses Tasmania’s colonial archives to explore intergenerational health issues and he is best known for his knowledge of convict transportation. He was awarded the Margaret Scott Award for the best book by a Tasmanian author in 2010, for his book ‘Closing Hells Gates’. He is currently collaborating with researchers at the universities of Liverpool, Sheffield, Oxford and Sussex on the ‘Digital Panopticon’ project, which is looking at the global impact of London Punishments between 1780 and 1925, as well as with Port Arthur Historic Site and the University of New England on a project to determine the effectiveness of convict labour as a tool of reform and training.
All welcome.
When: Thursday 22 June 2017 at 5.30pm
Where: Junior Medical Officer’s House Conference Room (rear of the house), Port Arthur Historic Site

4. [NEW ITEM] Travelling Stories, 10-14 October 2017, Tasmania: A conference with a difference – call for sessions
This conference is the first-ever collaboration between the Australasian Society for Historical Archaeology (ASHA) and Interpretation Australia (IA). The theme is “Travelling Stories: connecting people and landscapes” and it will bring people together to explore new ways of telling stories about the important landscapes, places and environments in which we live and work. It will be a travelling conference, moving through venues from Launceston to Hobart via key places along the Midlands Highway including the World Heritage-listed Brickendon; Ross; the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and the Shene Estate. We anticipate the attendance of people from a broad range of disciplines and professions – interpretation specialists, archaeologists, writers, designers, heritage consultants, heritage tourism operators, digital technology specialists, museum curators, tour guides, parks rangers, naturalists, visitor program managers – to explore common ground and approaches.
The conference theme will allow for the development of joint sessions and cross-disciplinary discussions about how data and research become transformed into knowledge and how knowledge can be shared with a wide range of audiences in a constantly changing world. There will also be opportunity for each organisation to develop conference sessions that relate to its professional interests and concerns, and to enable the delivery of papers about both natural and cultural environments.
We aim to develop the conference experience through an exploration of the excitingly complex and interesting landscapes of Tasmania and beyond, using both formal conference sessions and informed site visits. The conference will integrate field excursions with thematic discussions rather than relegating field trips to pre- or post-conference optional extras (although there will be some of those too!). In all of the conference deliberations the focus will be on the telling of new stories, using established and developing technologies for better interpretive outcomes, and in reaching audiences that previously may have seemed either physically remote or challenging to engage. We aim to foster new thinking, profitable collaborations and an atmosphere that encourages challenging the status quo.
Call for Sessions
Download the Call for Sessions for detailed information.
To facilitate the timely completion of the conference programme we ask that session proposals be submitted to the Organising Committee by Monday 3 July. Proposals should take the form of a session title, a 150 word (maximum) description of its aims and scope that can also serve as text for the printed programme, and name(s), address(es) and contact details for the session convenor(s).

7. [NEW ITEM] National Museum launches call for West Australian black swan objects – National Museum of Australia 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 National Museum of Australia, dated 6 June 2017.
The National Museum of Australia in Canberra is seeking objects that help tell the story relating to the adoption of the black swan as the symbol for the state of Western Australia.
In preparation for the development of a new gallery on the environmental history of Australia, the National Museum is seeking public help to bolster its collection of black swan related objects from Western Australia.
National Museum curator, Stephen Munro, said the Museum has a small collection of black swan-related objects and is looking to enhance this in time for the new gallery, which will explore the relationship between people and nature, with a particular focus on certain iconic animals and plants.
‘The black swan is an iconic symbol of Western Australia and we are interested in compelling objects which help to tell a broader story of how and why this animal was chosen as the state symbol and what it means to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians,’ said Mr Munro.
The black swan has a strong association with the southwest of Western Australia. It features in Indigenous Noongar Dreaming stories and is also represented on the state’s flag and coat of arms.
The black swan provides the name for the river on which the state’s capital is situated – and it also inspired a Perth brewery.
Objects of interest to the Museum include souvenirs, sporting uniforms, equipment, signs, flags, historic posters or advertising paraphernalia. The Museum is particularly interested in large objects such as billboards.
Information about black swan objects relating to Western Australia can be emailed to curator@nma.gov.au.

8. [NEW ITEM] WII wreck of HMAS Perth (I) – Australian National Maritime Museum 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 Australian National Maritime Museum, dated 8 June 2017.
Maritime archaeologists from the Australian National Maritime Museum (ANMM) and the National Research Centre of Archaeology Indonesia/Pusat Penelitian Arkeologi Nasional (ARKENAS) have conducted a joint dive on the wreck of the Australian World War II vessel HMAS Perth (I), supported by officials from TNI-AL (Indonesian Navy), Indonesian Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture (Jakarta), and the Directorate of Heritage and Museum- Regional Office Serang (BPCB).
Perth was sunk with the loss of 357 lives following a fierce sea battle against the Imperial Japanese Navy on the night of 28 February 1942 off the coast of Banten Bay on the northwest tip of Java in Indonesia, where the shipwreck remains today.
“It is with profound regret we advise that our joint maritime archaeologist diving team has discovered sections of the Perth missing. Interim reports indicate only approximately 40% of the vessel remaining. The research team has found evidence of large-scale salvage on the site, including what appears to be recent removal of material from the wreck,” said Australian National Maritime Museum director Kevin Sumption.
Limited salvage is known to have taken place on Perth since the late 1970s, and in 2013 recreational divers reported damage to the site by unidentified salvors.
“This dive, following on from multi-beam sonar work commissioned in late 2016 by ANMM and ARKENAS, confirms that the site has since been significantly disturbed. While some damage is a result of the Japanese torpedo strikes that sank the vessel in 1942, and the expected degradation of the site over the last 75 years, there are signs the removal of this material is a result of salvage with some salvage equipment visible around the site.
“This isn’t what we were hoping to find. The museum appreciates the support of the Indonesian Government to-date to conduct the research dive and we remain committed to continuing to work in close partnership with our Indonesian colleagues at ARKENAS and with Indonesian authorities to secure formal protection of the site and protect what remains of the shipwreck. As the site lies in Indonesian territorial waters, it is important that we continue to work in close partnership with our Indonesian colleagues,” said Mr Sumption.
Director of ARKENAS I Made Geria said “The National Research Centre of Archaeology Indonesia (Pusat Penelitian Arkeologi Nasional) will always support the primary purpose of this project, which is to secure formal protection for the site of HMAS Perth, and to develop knowledge for the management of underwater cultural heritage in Indonesia.”
Earlier this year Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Indonesian President Joko Widodo issued a joint statement during the President’s visit to Australia where they noted this year’s 75th anniversary of the loss of Perth and reaffirmed their commitment to work together to strengthen cooperation in the area of maritime cultural heritage in accordance with respective national policy, laws, and regulations.
The research dive was conducted on 14-17 May 2017. It is the first detailed survey of the wreck since 2015 and follows up on a remote sensing survey of the site carried out by the museum and ARKENAS in December last year.
The expedition team will now formalise its report on the state of the shipwreck including the site’s stability. This information will be used to prepare, in consultation with ARKENAS, a detailed site assessment and a case for declaration under the appropriate legislation of the Republic of Indonesia.

14. Call for Expressions of Interest for the Australia ICOMOS Heritage Planning Working Group
The Heritage Planning Working Group is a newly formed Australia ICOMOS Working Group. The need for such a group was noted by the Executive Committee in 2016 given the extensive statutory planning changes occurring throughout Australia at present, much of which has significant potential impacts for cultural heritage. The purpose of the Group is to examine planning policy and provisions and current proposed changes to this across Australia in relation to cultural heritage and its conservation; and to identify issues for heritage conservation as well as actions that could be taken by Australia ICOMOS alone, or in partnership, to address or mitigate identified issues.
The Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee is looking for members for this new group. Members of the Working Group will need to have expertise and experience with cultural heritage planning, however they do not need to be practising planners. We are also looking for broad Australian representation in the Working Group.
If you are interested in being part of this Working Group, please complete the Heritage Planning Working Group EOI – May 2017 form and email it to the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat. The closing date for EOIs is the 30 June 2017.
If you have any queries in relation to the working Group please contact Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee member, Anne McConnell by email.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
15. Call for New Members for the Australia ICOMOS Indigenous Heritage Reference Group
The purpose of the Indigenous Heritage Reference Group is to provide advice as needed to the President and the Executive Committee on any issues that arise in relation to the conservation of Indigenous cultural heritage. Issues may relate to specific sites as in the case of Indigenous issues in World Heritage Monitoring Missions or ‘framework’ issues as in the case of preparing submissions on legislation reform.
This reference group, initially a Working Group, has existed since 1998. The Group does not hold regular meetings, but is called into action as issues arise. Members are required to have high level qualifications and/or experience in Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander cultural heritage.
The Indigenous Heritage Reference Group currently has eight members, but in line with Australia ICOMOS policy, the Group is seeking to refresh its membership. We are therefore interested to hear from Australia ICOMOS members who are interested in becoming new members of the Indigenous Heritage Reference Group. Please note that members will be selected based on demonstrated expertise and experience.
If you are interested in becoming a member of the Indigenous Heritage Reference Group please email an EOI to the Convenor, Anne McConnell. The closing date for EOIs is the 30 June 2017.
For more information on the Indigenous Heritage Reference Group or Australia ICOMOS Reference Groups and other groups and committees more generally click here.

20. Haunting, Memory and Place: 21-22 September 2017, Melbourne School Of Design, University of Melbourne
We are currently inviting applications for the annual symposium of the Australian Centre for Architectural History, Urban and Cultural Heritage (ACAHUCH), based within the Melbourne School of Design, University of Melbourne – more details on keynote speakers to follow.
Submit your abstract of no more than 500 words by 10 June 2017 to Dr Gareth Wilson by email. Successful applicants will be invited to present a 15 minute paper. Applications from early career researchers and PhD students are strongly encouraged.
About the Symposium
We are haunted, we architects and historians; seeking knowledge in ephemeral traces and altered landscapes. We become intimately bound by the ghosts that we chase through the archives, longing for understanding through fragments of the practices and projects that are left behind. We seek resonances in the space, buildings and objects of the past.
What of the spectres of history and geography that have haunted architecture’s production, and the dark shadows of influence and authority drawn between Europe and its colonies? And what of the architects we study; what reverberations of bankruptcy and inferior workmanship, self-doubts, critiques and unfulfilled visions are they plagued by?
Symposium Themes
We invite contributors to consider:
- Specular and spectral colonial comparisons.
- Knowledge lost and recovered, archives absent and exhumed.
- The ghosts of misadventure, forgotten rituals, routines and procedures, and lost opportunities.
- Multiple pasts, the incongruities and dissonances of history; unsettled abject and uncanny spaces, places and narratives.
- Recurrent apparitions of architectural figures, whether canonical or outlying, within history and practice.
- Writing, drawing and photography as vehicles for figuring architecture’s spectres.
- How particular architectural typologies, spaces or cities are haunted by confluences of fiction, myth, memory and popular culture, and acts of commemoration or desecration.
- The influence of the historic imagination in contemporary culture; its impact on our reverence of place and inhabitation, in the treatment of heritage fabric and ruins, and attempts to resuscitate and interpret through digital means.
- The pursuit of affect, reverberation and atmosphere in historical architectural sites.
It is intended that selected papers from this conference will be published in the format of an edited book or special edition journal.
Registration Fees
A fee of $50 will apply, to cover catering expenses.

For further details, please contact Gareth Wilson by email, ACAHUCH Research & Project Officer.

22. Industrial Heritage questionnaire – deadline 24 June 2017
Over recent years when Industrial Heritage has been discussed in forums such as the ICOMOS Scientific Council, Advisory Committee or Board meetings, a range of opinions has been expressed about the position of industrial heritage within ICOMOS.
After discussions in the ICOMOS Scientific Council, members of ICOMOS Ireland were asked to explore how dialogue and policy development on matters relating to Industrial Heritage would best be facilitated within ICOMOS. The Industrial Heritage Working Group (IHWG) was established during the General Assembly in Florence to look at ways and means, including the possible development of an ISC on Industrial Heritage for ICOMOS members.
The IHWG wants to get the opinions of the ICOMOS membership. An online questionnaire has been designed with questions that mainly require a yes/no answer, and in total should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to complete the survey, and we have set a time limit for completion before 24 June 2017.

23. Deakin University Cultural Heritage Seminar, Melbourne, Wednesday 21 June
Deakin University’s next Cultural Heritage Seminar will be a presentation by Tim Edensor (Manchester Metropolitan University), on “Stony Histories of Melbourne”.
Abstract
In this presentation, I will discuss the material composition of Melbourne in terms of the geological resources that have been used to build the city: stone, brick, cement. The paper will identify key sources from which these materials are derived to underline that cities are always composed from matter from elsewhere, forging, dispensing with and reforging connections. An examination of building materials can testify to the politics and tensions involved in these connections at various scales – colonial, pre-colonial, global, national and regional. By drawing on historical and contemporary research, I will discuss how Melbourne’s building stone and bricks have been subject to diverse, often contesting values that have fluctuated over time.
Biography

26. Community Green: Rediscovering the Garden Suburb Tradition of Local Open Space – talk, Melbourne, 14 June
Community Green: Rediscovering the Garden Suburb Tradition of Local Open Space
Presented by Robert Freestone, Professor of Planning, UNSW Sydney
Where: Malaysia Theatre, Melbourne School of Design Building, University of Melbourne
When: Wednesday 14 June, 12:30-2:30pm
Register here (free of charge)
The planned provision of small enclosed open spaces in residential communities dates from the heyday of the global garden city and suburb movement at the turn of the last century. Progressive reformers at that time left a legacy of internal parks which have enjoyed mixed fortunes, but the idea continues to resurface in contemporary housing developments.
These spaces thus have a past, a present and a future presenting both challenges and opportunities for local communities and municipal authorities concerned with advancing goals of livability, sustainability and productivity in suburban areas.
This presentation aims to help resuscitate such secretive reserves from history as not only a distinctive small park morphology with as heritage in their own right but one whose problems and potentialities are relevant to many other green community spaces. In so doing new connections are opened up between the past and the future, localism and globalism, and connecting local collective action to broader global challenges of cohesion, health, food, and climate change.
Rob Freestone is currently a visiting professor in the Melbourne School of Design where he is working on various collaborative research projects, including with Dr David Nichols (MSD) on the history of the garden suburb.
