A theme of interest at the 7th ICAANE taking place in London these days

Theme Organiser: Dr Michael Seymour

Location: B.P Lecture Theatre, Clore Centre, The British Museum.

This theme invites comparative and case-specific contributions on issues in the management of cultural heritage. Papers relating to heritage in conflict and post-conflict states, archaeology and the construction of identity, the value and treatment of archaeology and heritage in education and tourism, and the roles of state and non-governmental organisations are all encouraged. Within this theme we also welcome contributions on ancient and pre-modern approaches to the past. Papers here might include ancient libraries, collections and restorations, from the creation of ancient museums to restoration in modern times.
