U S / I C O M O S W E L C O M E

Welcome to Natchitoches and our 7th US/ICOMOS International Symposium. Six years ago, I was elected Chairmanof US/ICOMOS at the 1st International Symposium, and next Saturday, I will complete my service when you elect mysuccessor. During this time, I was proud to see the US/ICOMOS International Symposium grow in stature and importance as

the only regularly scheduled preservation event in our country that looks at our heritage needs from a global perspective. Every

year, we address a topic that is of importance to us in the United States as well as to the international heritage community

Our success is due to the hard work and the unrelenting commitment of our Trustees, our volunteer members, the Fellow

of US/ICOMOS and the staff. Using the experience of American preservationists with international experience, plus that of

our colleagues who have joined us over the past six years from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, the Czech Republic, Cuba

Ecuador, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, Jordan, Macedonia, Mexico, Nepal, Peru, Poland, the Philippines, South

Africa, Spain, Sweden, and Venezuela, we have delved into topics of crucial relevance and opened broad new perspectives on

better heritage stewardship in the United States.

This year, we will be exploring the challenges of preserving landscapes of ecological and cultural significance, using the World

Heritage experience as our framework. This is a rapidly emerging field that has redefined conceptual as well as manageriaprinciples in conservation, and that has begun to thrust the natural and cultural heritage professions into unprecedented

cooperation. Thus, for the first time in our Symposiums history, cultural preservationists will be joined by nature conservationists

in what we trust will be a fruitful discussion that will last long into the future.

Natchitoches, of course, is the ideal setting for our discussions. This is a place where the physical legacy of a rich history

continues to thrive amidst an unusually diverse and beautiful natural setting. We are here thanks to many people and

organizations that over the past twelve months have put together an outstanding program. Our thanks must begin with our

Trustee, Saidee Newell, whose indefatigable tenacity and good cheer have been the driving force behind this event. It was she and

our longtime friend, Kirk Cordell, who secured the co-sponsorships of the National Center for Preservation Technology and

Training, the Cane River National Heritage Area and Tulanes School of Architecture, all of whom have been generous partners

We must also thank Patricia ODonnell, Chair of the 7th Symposium Scientific Committee and the members of her committee

Charles Birnbaum, Andrew Ferrell, Darwina Neal and Mary Striegel. They developed the themes, and then faced the interesting

challenging task of selecting a group of speakers from among the more than 80 incisive abstracts. They and their colleague

serving as session presidents and respondents will continue to work throughout the weekend as editors of the proceedings.

There are many others without whose support and contributions, this Symposium could not happen: the many local organizations

and people here in Natchitoches and in Louisiana who warmly have opened their hearts and their homes to the ICOMOS globa

community; the leaders and hosts of the study tours, our institutional supporters, and of course, the National Park Service andthe Samuel H Kress Foundation, whose continuing support both inspires and sustains the our efforts.

Thank you very much for coming.

Sincerely,

Robert C. Wilburn, Chair, US/ICOMOS

LEARNING FROM WORLD HERITAGE

Lessons From International Preservation & StewardshipOf Cultural & Ecological Landscapes Of Global Significance

7th US/ICOMOS INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM

Natchitoches, Louisiana, USA, March 25-27, 2004

CHALLENGES of the 7TH

SYMPOSIUMThe Scientific Committee also extends our sincere welcome. This symposium explores the work of both preservation andconservation at the intersection of cultural and natural resources. Since the adoption of the World Heritage Convention in 1972consensus on its criteria and operational guidelines has been shaped by a rich international discussion strongly influenced by the

heritage policies of its 176 state parties, including the United States. Reciprocally, World Heritage policies and principles havereturned home to every country to refine and enhance each nations ability to address the complexity of its cultural and nationaheritage.

A major influence in this exchange was the search in recent decades by preservation and conservation stewardship professionalsagencies and institutions in many nations for methods and approaches to protect and interpret areas whose significance isinextricably bound to both natural and cultural resources. In Santa Fe in 1992, after a decade of extensive debate, the World

Heritage Committee adopted definitions of designed, evolved and associative landscapes, and an evaluation structure thatenables ICOMOS to recommend inscriptions of cultural landscapes of universal value in the World Heritage List. During thesame period, the consideration of natural resources progressed under IUCN. Since 1992 ICOMOS and IUCN have collaboratedincreasingly on the identification, designation and protection of landscapes embodying both natural and cultural resource

values. In the United States, conceptualizing heritage at the territorial level has led to the rapid growth of heritage areas andcorridors as tools for both preservation and community development. Within ICOMOS, the territorial concept of a culturaitinerary has been effectively expanded to address assemblies of non-contiguous territories unified by an overarching theme

The effectiveness of de-fragmenting protective mechanisms through consolidation of valued heritage into broader protectedterritories is indicated by the diversity of cultural landscapes and cultural itineraries recently inscribed in the World HeritageList. From this milieu multiple values and voices emerge with the related challenges of diverse resources, large-scale distribution

changing culture, community character, resource protection and sustainability, among others.

Today, after more than a decade of global activity, it is timely to re-examine preservation and conservation work at the intersectionof cultural and natural resources in an interdisciplinary forum. This symposium presents a platform for that exploration. Overthe course of the next two and a half day, distinguished colleagues will present the views and experience in major internationa

initiatives. The symposium is not only a time for passive listening; it is a period for conviviality, exchanges and fruitful discussionamong peers.

Thank you for engaging in this important exchange and for your future efforts to carry this work forward.

On behalf of the 7TH US/ICOMOS Symposium Scientific Committee,

Patricia M. ODonnell, FASLA, AICP, Chair, 7TH US/ICOMOS Symposium Scientific Committee

Cane River National

Heritage Area is a largely

rural, agricultural landscape known for

its historic plantations, its distinctive

Creole architecture, and its multi-

cultural legacy. Historically this region lay at the intersection of French and

Spanish realms in the New World. Today it is home to a unique blend of cultures,

including French, Spanish, African, American Indian, and Creole. The central

corridor of the 116,000-acre heritage area

begins just south of Natchitoches, the oldest

permanent settlement in the Louisiana

Purchase, and extends along both sides

of Cane River Lake for approximately 35

miles. It includes Cane River Creole National Historical Park, the Natchitoches

National Historic Landmark District, six other National Historical Landmarks,

three Louisiana State Historic Sites, and many other historic plantations, homes,

and churches. While most of the heritage area is privately owned, many sites are

open to the public.

US/ICOMOS

The International Council on Monuments and

Sites (ICOMOS) is the only world-wide non-

governmental membership organization that

brings together, from many disciplines and backgrounds,

individuals and institutions responsible for managing

and supporting the conservation of the built heritage.

ICOMOS was established in 1965 to bring order to the

many uncoordinated and divergent efforts to protect,

preserve and interpret heritage sites throughout the world

after World War II. From that small group of founding

experts who met in Krakow, Poland, the global network

of ICOMOS has grown to more than 6,000 members in

119 National Committees, and 20 International Scientic

Committees that focus on specic concerns of the heritage

community.

An important universal contribution that derives from theglobal focus of ICOMOS is the ongoing development of

international standards and doctrinal documents for the

conservation and protection of built heritage. Because of

their unique role in the world of preservation, ICOMOS

standards are the accepted norm the world over. For

instance, in the United States, the Venice Charter was

the guiding basis for the Secretary of Interiors Standards

for Historic Preservation. The high professionalism of

ICOMOS and the global consensus it embodies has been

recognized in UNESCOs World Heritage Convention by

naming it ofcial advisor on issues dealing with culturalsites.

As one of the largest and most inuential of National

Committees, US/ICOMOS takes its position of leadership

with utmost seriousness. In its mission, US/ICOMOS

broadly denes its eld of activities as education and

training, international exchange of information, technical

assistance, documentation, advocacy and other activities

consistent with the goals of ICOMOS.

To fulll its mission, US/ICOMOS actively promotes

the international sharing of knowledge, resources and

experiences by convening its annual international

symposium; through publications that include the bimonthly

Newsletter and the Scientic Journal; the US/ICOMOS

webpage and its electronic ListServ; participation by its

members in preservation events overseas; the US/ICOMOS

preservation library at its headquarters in Washington, DC;

linking our communities and individual US/ICOMOS

members to preservationists and institutions with afnity

concerns abroad; nine specialized committees that bring

US specialized experience to the International Scientic

Committees; partnership and collaboration with domestic

and foreign organizations that enrich their outlook with

an international perspective; advocating US ratication

and implementation of international conventions for

the protection of cultural heritage; model conservation projects, such as the Conservation and Touris

development Plan for Cape Coast in Ghana, under the

auspices of the US Agency for International Development

and US participation in the global leadership of ICOMOS

by fostering the election of US/ICOMOS members to high

ofce in the ICOMOS governing bodies.

Perhaps best known of all its programs is the US/

ICOMOS Summer Intern Program, which fullls many

aspects of the US/CIOMOS mission. It has ushered 500

young preservationists from 60 countries into the globalICOMOS network of cooperation and exchanges. Its far

reaching effects are becoming more palpa-ble as former

interns begin to achieve positions of great responsibility

for heritage the world over, including chairs of ICOMOS

National Committees, direction of important projects and

management of heritage sites.
