Planning the future of New England's heritage
August 04, 2004
A full-day workshop sponsored by the University of New England has established new links between organizations concerned with preserving and promoting New England’s natural and cultural heritage.
UNE’s Heritage Futures Research Centre (HFRC) convened the workshop late last month. It attracted representatives of 11 organizations, as well as members of HFRC itself. Professor Iain Davidson, HFRC’s Director, opened and chaired the workshop, which was held at Smith House.
The convener of the workshop, Dr Andrew Piper, said one important outcome was that the participants had identified issues that could be addressed in future workshops and training sessions. “The day was highly successful, with good links forged between participating groups,” Dr Piper said.
HFRC was founded in 2001 as a cross-disciplinary research centre within UNE. It aims to consolidate the University’s range of expertise and research relating to the heritage of the New England region, and to revitalise links between local community organizations, local government, and interested individuals.
“HFRC sponsored the workshop as part of its commitment to consult community heritage organizations and to promote our distinctive regional heritage,” Dr Piper said. “The workshop allowed HFRC to gain a direct insight into the means by which it could work with such organizations.”
He explained that the workshop had specifically targeted those concerned with the heritage of Armidale and the surrounding districts of Guyra, Uralla and Walcha, and had included a presentation by local government heritage adviser Graham Wilson titled “The History of Heritage in Armidale”.
“The presentations and discussions illustrated a breadth of interests in aspects of heritage, and a wide range of creative approaches to making heritage a lively and forward-looking aspect of modern life in Armidale and its neighbouring districts,” Dr Piper said.
