ICOMOS National Sceintific Committee on Cultural Landscapes and Cultural Routes 2016 meeting: 18-20 March

[Iain]

Planning is well underway for the annual ICOMOS NSC on Cultural Landscapes and Cultural Routes meeting, this time in Lithgow, NSW. 18-20 March 2016

The focus of the meeting is the challenge of heritage that is more than simply a single place for example the layers of industrial landscapes in Lithgow and the routes from Sydney over the mountains. Such heritage poses challenges for an identification and management system that works on a place level. The organizers intend that this meeting be open to the heritage community rather than members of ICOMOS and given that the focus in more industrial than usual would welcome the attendance of TICCIH in Oz members.

Commencing Friday evening there will be a (self-funded) get together meal. On Saturday Ray Christison and Iain Stuart will be conducting a guided drive/walk commending at 9 am to be followed by a meeting, lunch, presentations and discussion/workshop about the issues, hosted at the State Mine Site in Lithgow.

On Sunday there will be self-drive tour industrial and historic route options.

A flyer with more details will be out in January but in the meantime mark this event in your 2016 calendar.
