In April 2002, Cornerstones
Community Partnerships, Crocker Ltd. and many other partners,
including the New Mexico Heritage Preservation Alliance, and the
New Mexico Historic Preservation Division, will host the 5th Annual
US/ICOMOS International Symposium in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The
convening, scheduled for April 17-20, 2002, is open to heritage
professionals, practitioners, supporters and organizations committed to
the protection, preservation and conservation of the world's cultural
heritage.
The United States Committee of the International Council on
Monuments and Sites (US/ICOMOS) is a non-governmental organization
whose mandate is conservation of the world's cultural heritage. ICOMOS,
through its 120 national committees worldwide, provides a forum for
professional dialogue and a vehicle for the collection, evaluation, and
dissemination of information on heritage preservation principles,
techniques, and policies. Cornerstones is an award-winning New
Mexico-based community development organization that for fifteen years
has used heritage preservation as an organizing tool for youth training,
intergenerational exchange and professional development programs. Crocker
Ltd. is an architectural conservation firm based in Santa Fe.
The Symposium will focus on recent trends in the evolution of
preservation theory and practice that have demonstrated how heritage
conservation can be a formidable framework for social and economic
change. When properly considered preservation can inspire development
that responds to local needs and aspirations while accentuating values
and strengths of local cultural traditions. Three of the preceding US/ICOMOS
International Symposia have posed these questions in the light of local,
national, and international partnerships that need to be forged among
preservation professionals, public authorities, volunteers, local groups
and broader community stakeholders.
In addition, the symposium will explore the many different aspects of
heritage preservation around the world with regard to politics,
regionalism, cultural landscapes, tangible and intangible heritage,
volunteerism and community service. Five sessions are scheduled
including a full day in the field looking at, and participating in,
community-based projects in northern New Mexico.
All sessions will be simultaneously interpreted from English to
Spanish.
