  • Charter for the Interpretation and Presentation of Cultural Heritage Sites
    The ICOMOS Charter for the Interpretation and Presentation of Cultural Heritage Sites Reviewed and revised under the Auspices of the ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on Interpretation and Presentation Ratified by the 16 th General Assembly of ICOMOS Quebec, Canada 4 October 2008 Preamble Definitions Objectives Principles 1 PREAMBLE Since its establishment in 1965 as a worldwide organisation of heritage professionals dedicated to the study, documentation, and protection of cultural heritage sites, ICOMOS has striven to promote the conservation ethic in all its activities and to help enhance public appreciation of humanity’s material heritage in all its forms and diversity. As noted in the Charter of Venice (1964) “It is essential that the principles guiding the preservation and restoration of ancient buildings should be agreed and be laid down on an international basis, with each country being responsible for applying the plan within the framework of its own culture and traditions.” Subsequent ICOMOS charters have taken up that mission, establishing professional guidelines for specific conservation challenges and encouraging effective communication about the importance of heritage conservation in every region of the world. These earlier ICOMOS charters stress the importance of public communication as an essential part of the larger conservation process (variously describing it as “dissemination,” “popularization,” “presentation,” and “interpretation”). They implicitly acknowledge that every act of heritage conservation—within all the world’s cultural traditions - is by its nature a communicative act. From the vast range of surviving material remains and intangible values of past communities and civilisations, the choice of what to preserve, how to preserve it, and how it is to be presented to the public are all elements of site interpretation.

  • Social Responsible Heritage Management - Empowering Citizens to Act As Heritage Managers
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 188 ( 2015 ) 27 – 34 Heritage as an Alternative Driver for Sustainable Development and Economic Recovery in South East Europe Social responsible heritage management - empowering citizens to act as heritage managers Darko Babiüa,* aFaculty of Humanities and Social Sciences - University of Zagreb, Ivana Luþiüa 3, HR-10000 Zagreb, Croatia Abstract Heritage management, realised foremost by varied heritage interpretation(s), is foremost multidisciplinary task. Contemporary understanding of the heritage management takes into account all relevant (i.e. site/county/country/region specific factors) be it social or economic beside essential preservation. It tends toward ensuring tangible (and intangible, or more precise indirect) benefits for local communities and by this toward development of the society in general. Critical heritage studies over the last few years significantly influenced perception of heritage, thus consequently the essence of heritage management and heritage interpretation. Stress on participative approach became crucial, where multi/poli-vocality is self-understandable. Surprisingly this practice could be easily tracked to early 1970s and the eco-museums movement which is quite revealing experience. Paper tends to demonstrate how practices of eco-museums could be interlinked with the very contemporary requests - needs for participative heritage interpretation and management approaches. Finally it will point out toward social responsible heritage management which could be recognised as sort of the request for very new heritage literacy. © 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

  • General Development
    GENERAL DEVELOPMENT Policy Areas Urban Design Development Process General Government Zoning Updates Food Access Wayfinding and Public Signage Green Infrastructure Creativity and Innovation Heritage Preservation General development policies and strategies are either new policies that overlap between the focus areas, or existing policies carried forward from the Urban Design and Development Process sections of the 2006 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. During the Imagine Duluth development process, the five focus areas (Economic Development, Energy and Conservation, Housing, Open Space, and Transportation) were thoroughly researched, and the community contemplated potential outcomes. Many of the new general development policies come from these focus areas; zoning updates, for example, frequently overlapped across the groups, especially those relating to sustainability. In each general development subject area, a brief introduction precedes a list of policies. This format differs from the in-depth research analysis summaries found in the five individual focus areas. Because the policies in this chapter may still lack specific implementation actions, further analysis of these issues will be necessary subsequent to plan adoption. Prioritization of general GENERAL DEVELOPMENT GENERAL development strategies may in some instances be intuitive: adjustments to the Unified Development Chapter (UDC) based on these policies can follow a standardized process through the Planning Commission. For other issues, such as those related to wayfinding or creativity and innovation, further analysis and collaboration between City departments, boards and commissions, and external partners may be necessary. GOVERNING Urban Design PRINCIPLES FOR Urban design touches almost every aspect of the built and natural forms of the city, including land use, housing, transportation, parks, URBAN DESIGN and open space.

  • Heritage Interpretation and Human Rights: Documenting Diversity, Expressing Identity, Or Establishing Universal Principles? Neil A
    University of Massachusetts Amherst From the SelectedWorks of Neil A. Silberman March 10, 2011 Heritage Interpretation and Human Rights: Documenting Diversity, Expressing Identity, or Establishing Universal Principles? Neil A. Silberman, University of Massachusetts - Amherst Available at: https://works.bepress.com/neil_silberman/41/ Heritage Interpretation and Human Rights: Documenting Diversity, Expressing Identity, or Establishing Universal Principles? Neil Silberman ICOMOS – ICIP University of Massachusetts Amherst (USA) On the face of it, no quest could be nobler: to enrich and highlight the outstanding universal values of World Heritage sites with the outstanding universal value of human rights. The ratifi- cation of the World Heritage Convention in 1972 gave historical, archaeological, and ecological form to the United Nations’ shared belief in the idea of the community of nations. My part in this workshop is to speak about the role of public heritage interpretation in furthering or at least communicating the theme of human rights within World Heritage. Yet before I begin, I think I need to clarify my understanding of both elements in the combination, for there is sometimes confusion—or perhaps misunderstanding about the nature of both heritage inter- pretation and of human rights as they apply to heritage. For the combination of heritage inter- pretation and human rights is not just a simple recipe. To adapt the clever quip from the ar- chaeological philosopher Alison Wylie, it’s not just a case where you take the current forms of World Heritage interpretation; pour in half a kilo of "human rights”; and stir. I will suggest than an entirely new confection of global memory needs to be created—one that transforms our conceptions of both heritage and human rights.

  • Ecomuseums and the Representation of Place
    PETER DAVIS ECOMUSEUMS AND THE REPRESENTATION OF PLACE Keywords: ecomuseums; representation; place; space; identity construction; community; sustainability. 1. INTRODUCTION. – In the modern world museums were regarded as places where the authority, knowledge and status of museum professionals were rarely challenged. The implications of such authority are that museums provide ‘true’ stories in their exhibitions, interpretations and activities. In other words the suggestion is that curators and exhibition designers can describe historical events and individual’s lives with certainty; accurately present place and capture local distinctiveness; and truthfully represent communities and local people. Postmodern approaches have led to significant changes in museum practices (see, for example, Knell, McLeod and Watson, 2007; Witcombe, 2003) and question whether museums can achieve all of these goals. Museums – by selecting specimens, artifacts and documentary evidence, and then using interpretive approaches and a variety of media - construct a version of truth for consumption by museum audiences. This process is especially pertinent when considering the geographical localities that museums represent, the ‘place identities’ that they construct. Museum curators may carefully choose specimens and fragments of material culture from their collections to create a narrative about a locality, its landscape, histories and peoples, but place itself lies outside the museum and needs to be experienced to begin to be fully understood. Museums can convey facts about objects of course – the scientific name of a reptile, the date of manufacture and origin of a piece of porcelain or the name of the maker of a telescope – but when curators step beyond these facts into the interpretation of place, historic events or current cultural life then the discourse becomes more problematical.
