'Valuing the Historic Environment' is a new, cross disciplinary research
cluster for the discussion of frameworks of value in relation to the
preservation of historic environments. The cluster will meet at three one
day colloquia to take place between January and July 2007 and on an online
discussion board, available from the cluster www
http://www.le.ac.uk/ms/contactus/valhistenvir.html. Detailed notes
documenting the discussion at each colloquium will also be available from
the cluster www. We aim for the activities of this cluster to lead to
further research connections, collaborations, opportunities and outputs,
with the potential to influence academic debate and policy formulation.
The third colloquium associated with this cluster takes place on the 6th
July 2007, location: University of Leicester (UK). The main focus of the
colloquium is 'Museumisation and Historic Environments'.
There are a limited number of places available, there is no cost to attend
but we are not normally able to pay expenses. Expressions of interest in
attending should briefly describe how the persons experience will enable
them to make a significant contribution to debate in the colloquia.
Expressions of interest should be sent to Anna Woodham at
