With this programme, the Cultural Heritage Agency provides training and advice, shares expertise, and develops tools. Through knowledge exchange we are able to constantly give new meaning to our cultural heritage in a changing society. We work closely with our partner countries and with Dutch partners within an extensive international network. The Cultural Heritage Agency is not the only organization active in the international heritage feld. The focus on shared heritage, understood as heritage relating to the past shared by two or more countries, might be less common though. Nonetheless, there are many other organizations actively seeking international collaborations for the beneft of heritage, shared or not. What does this mean for the Shared Cultural Heritage programme of the Cultural Heritage Agency? What can we learn from these organisations in terms of strategies and methodologies? To what extent do opportunities exist for future collaboration with these organisations towards common goals? How can we utilise this knowledge to carve a niche role for the Cultural Heritage Agency in the global feld? These are the questions Paige Foley, the author of this report, looked into. This publication presents the results of her research. Since we believe that its relevance goes beyond the Shared Cultural Heritage programme of the Cultural Heritage Agency, we decided to make it accessible to a wider audience. Hopefully, this report will be of use in your current and future endeavors to fnd suitable partners in the international heritage feld.

    CONSERVATION PERSPECTIVES THE GCI NEWSLETTER SPRING 2020 CONSERVATION SCIENCE A Note from As this issue of Conservation Perspectives was being prepared, the world confronted the spread of coronavirus COVID-19, threatening the health and well-being of people across the globe. In mid-March, offices at the Getty the Director closed, as did businesses and institutions throughout California a few days later. Getty Conservation Institute staff began working from home, continuing—to the degree possible—to connect and engage with our conservation colleagues, without whose efforts we could not accomplish our own work. As we endeavor to carry on, all of us at the GCI hope that you, your family, and your friends, are healthy and well. What is abundantly clear as humanity navigates its way through this extraordinary and universal challenge is our critical reliance on science to guide us. Science seeks to provide the evidence upon which we can, collectively, make decisions on how best to protect ourselves. Science is essential. This, of course, is true in efforts to conserve and protect cultural heritage. For us at the GCI, the integration of art and science is embedded in our institutional DNA. From our earliest days, scientific research in the service of conservation has been a substantial component of our work, which has included improving under- standing of how heritage was created and how it has altered over time, as well as developing effective conservation strategies to preserve it for the future. For over three decades, GCI scientists have sought to harness advances in science and technology Photo: Anna Flavin, GCI Anna Flavin, Photo: to further our ability to preserve cultural heritage.

Historia de un nombre en perspectiva interétnica Tapuy miri, chiquitos, chiquitanos. Historia de un nombre en perspectiva interétnica Cecilia Martínez* Resumen Habitualmente los chiquitanos son identificados como los herederos de la cultura misional jesuítica, aunque su nombre y su situación sociocultural variaron tanto antes como después de ese período. «Chiquitos», por su parte, encabeza una familia de conceptos étnicos, topográficos, lingüísticos e identitarios que se construyeron y transformaron desde el siglo XVI hasta la actualidad. Reconstruir el derrotero de la etnonimia de los indígenas de la Chiquitania y de los significados asociados con ella es el objetivo de este trabajo, guiado por la premisa del papel central que ocupan las relaciones con otros grupos indígenas y con los blancos en la definición de la forma y del contenido de los grupos y de sus designaciones recíprocas.
