Cultural Heritage in Asia and the Pacific
Conservation and Policy, Proceedings of a Symposium Held in Honolulu, Hawaii, September 8–13, 1991
Description:...
This book contains
the proceedings of a five-day symposium in September 1991, sponsored by the
U.S. Information Agency, organized by US/ ICOMOS, and designed in consultation
with the Getty Conservation Institute, that focused on conservation issues in
Asia and the Pacific, with particular attention to policies and conditions
specific to the region.
Two keynote papers by international experts explore legal aspects of cultural
heritage protection, and management of cultural sites. Three background papers
cover the legislation of the 15 nations represented, regional professional
training opportunities, and tropical environmental conditions that challenge
managers of sites and collections.
The discussion summary includes suggestions for enhancing conservation
awareness, legislative action, and policy implementation.
