Session Abstract:

Cultural/heritage resources management is an established area of professional practice in many parts of the world. While largely driven by legislative mandate in its infancy, the professional practice of heritage resources management has matured over time and the term “stewardship” is now widely used with reference to the management of cultural as well as natural resources.  This session will examine how the professional practice of managing heritage resources has developed in recent years, considering what, if anything, has changed, and what “stewardship” means to contemporary practioners, the public and private agencies for whom they work, and the public at large.  The papers present the diverse experiences, attitudes, and values of those who undertake this work day-to-day and represents a unique opportunity to share with and learn from each other.
