1. [NEW ITEM] ACAHUCH, ALGA and Heritage Victoria | Seminar | Victoria’s Queer Heritage, Wednesday 27 May, 5.30-7.30 AEST

Heritage Victoria has commissioned the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives (ALGA) to develop a new heritage study, A History of LGBTIQ Victoria in 100 Places and Objects.

Based on community consultation, this study aims to identify the top 100 historical places and objects of significance to the queer community across the state. The study will include places of gathering, punishment, ‘treatment’, political activism, social life, recreation and health from as far back as records reveal to today. It will also include significant objects, documents, photos and collections to bring to light Victoria’s hidden queer histories.

The analysis of queer heritage (in built environment and museum contexts) is already well underway in the UK, US and countries overseas, but the same cannot be said of Australia. While there has been much written about Australia’s LGBTIQ history – people, events and lived experience – ‘queering heritage’ has only recently started in earnest. Doing queer heritage presents challenges because it means finding historically a marginalised and criminalised group in extant material culture. Sometimes ‘things’ relating to queer people often have not survived. Given that many queer people deliberately lived ‘in the closet’ and left little trace of their lives, what places and objects represent them?

This report is due for release in mid-2020 and is a first of its kind in Australia. It will be a valuable reference point for the understanding, protection and interpretation of queer heritage, and that of other marginalised groups, in the future.

Talking Heritage: a Virtual Forum

Australia ICOMOS and the Emerging Professionals of Cultural Heritage (EPoCH) invite you to join us every second Thursday at 5:30pm-7pm for a virtual Zoom forum. We’ll talk all things heritage, welcoming both emerging and established heritage professionals. The content of the Forum will be diverse and crowd-sourced from a variety of mediums, including journal articles, book chapters, documentaries and Youtube videos with a focus on heritage practice and theory and everything in between.

To join, all you need to do is suggest a written or visual text that you think would be of interest to the broader group. If your text is selected, you will be asked to act as moderator for that week and help guide the discussion. You will not be required to attend every session, just when you can. The purpose of the forum is not to be onerous or overly academic – just a fun way to stay connected and to keep the heritage discourse flowing. To get involved, simply email the EPoCH Team with your details and let us know your suggested text/s.

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

Sharing and Showcasing Science Heritage – make a contribution!

Australia ICOMOS has started sharing and showcasing some of Australia’s significant science heritage – the forgotten and invisible, as well as the well-known.

Science heritage is a heritage that is shared across scientific disciplines and technologies and between scientists/technologists and heritage practitioners; it is a shared responsibility that should be shared more broadly with the community. This sharing of knowledge is an excellent fit with this year’s theme for the International Day for Monuments and Sites, Shared Cultures, Shared Heritage, Shared Responsibility.

How will we ‘share and showcase’ Australia’s science heritage?

Australia ICOMOS has created a Science Heritage Showcase page. Some images and summary information about Australia’s science heritage have now been added.

How can you help?

Australia ICOMOS will be relying on scientists/technologists, heritage practitioners and members of the community, ie. you, to populate this page. So, if you have a favourite (or several favourite) science heritage examples (these can be landscapes, places, features, objects or documents) please let us know about them.

For more information about this initiative and guidelines on how to contribute, visit the Science Heritage Showcase page.

CHNT conference, 4-6 November 2020 , Vienna – call for papers, posters and apps: deadline 30 June

Cultural Heritage and New Technologies (CHNT) conference
Artificial Intelligence : New pathways towards cultural heritage
4-6 November 2020
Vienna, Austria

Call for papers, posters and apps

We know how to digitize our heritage, so what is the next step: making our Cultural Heritage more accessible to the general public / researchers, and even accessible when it is not there anymore.

In recent years, the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches has increased rapidly in cultural heritage (CH) management and research. A main driver is the availability of remote sensing data, allowing us to detect new archaeological sites and to monitor the preservation of known monuments. Due to advances in computer power and a wide range of free machine learning tools, large amounts of remote sensing data can be processed automatically for CH purposes instead of covering only small areas by expert inspection

>>More about the theme

More information about the calls are available here for papers and posters and here for the app.

Deadline for submissions: 30 June

The organisers have also started a “Culture = Future” page, for which they invite statements and thoughts from you about colleagues who have lost or will lose their jobs, because there are less excavations, less projects, the money is needed for something else but not for archaeology, museums and cultural heritage – view this and consider submitting your thoughts.

10.2 INTEGRITY | Guest Editor: Jukka Jokilehto

The concept of “integrity” is central to the organizing principles and values of heritage conservation and is frequently evoked in international charters, conventions, and official recommendations. Generally speaking, integrity refers to the wholeness or intactness of a tangible object, place, or property and is a measure by which UNESCO determines the Outstanding Universal Value of a site. As a guiding principle of conservation practice, the concept of integrity has evolved from 19th century ideas of the artist’s intent, which located integrity in a moment in time (Viollet le Duc), to 21st century framings of integrity as an emergent condition as proposed by the 2005 Faro Framework Convention, which suggests that integrity is neither fixed nor static but is understood through a process of interpreting, respecting, and negotiating complex, and at times, contentious values.

Abstracts of 200-300 words are due by 5 June 2020.

For more detailed information, see the CoT_Integrity_CFA_FINAL.

In 2004, the Tin Sheds moved its entire operation into the School with purpose-built workshops and a gallery.
