The 'Ename Charter Illustrated' Project

This project is inspired by the illustrated version of the Australia ICOMOS Charter for Places of Cultural Significance (better known as the Burra Charter) and, like the Illustrated Burra Charter, is aimed at providing the international heritage community with practical examples to illustrate the uses and applications of the proposed final text of the Ename Charter, which will be presented for ratification at the upcoming 16th ICOMOS General Assembly in Quebec, Canada, as the “ICOMOS Charter for the Interpretation and Presentation of Cultural Heritage Sites.”

Charter Endorsed in South Africa

At the 2007 ICOMOS International Advisory Committee meeting, held this year in Pretoria, South-Africa, 8 - 13 October, the proposed final version of the ICOMOS Charter on the Interpretation and Presentation of Cultural Sites was recommended for presentation and ratification at the 16th ICOMOS General Assembly in Quebec next year. At Pretoria, the text of the proposed Charter was officially endorsed by the ICOMOS Scientific Council (composed of its 22 International Scientific Committees), by its Advisory Committee (composed of representatives of the International Scientific Committees and of the 110 National Committees), as well as by the ICOMOS International Executive Committee. Official presentation of the Charter for international ratification will take place at the next ICOMOS General Assembly, in September 2008 in Quebec, Canada.
