Subj: [icom-cc-ethno] ICOM-CC Conference in Delhi: highlights and next steps
Dear members of the ICOM-CC Working Group on Ethnographic Collections:
Now that I have settled back from my trip to the 15th Triennial Conference
in India, I would like to briefly share with you some highlights, and give you
a heads-up on various next steps.
Our Working Group Session (3/4 day) was very interesting and inspiring, with
8 stimulating papers and 4 posters presented. Additionally two excellent
papers originating from our Working Group were presented within the Plenary
Session: Tharron Bloomfield's Pupura te mahara - Preserving the Memory: Working
with Maori Communities on Preservation Projects in Aotearoa / New Zealand and
Renata Peters' The Brave New World of Conservation. These, followed by the
paper by Veerle Meul, Safeguarding the significance of ensembles: value
assessments in Risk Management for Cultural Heritage, created a thought-provoking,
energizing plenary session on the purpose and goals of conservation and the
different values that are inherent or attributed to heritage.
For those of you who could not attend the meeting in New Delhi: The
preprints are printed in India by Allied Publishers Pvt. Ltd. ISBN: 978-81-8424-For

or ICCROM, Rome: _publications at publicatio_ (mailto:publications at iccrom.org)
The conference was attended by over 600 delegates, almost a third of them
being from India and other Asian countries. There were vivid discussions and
exchanges of ideas and experiences. In particualr, members of our Working Group
had the privilege of being invited to a reception and dinner hosted by the
Sangeet Natak Academy of Music to visit its outstanding collection of Indian
musical instruments and take part in an exchange on the care and use of their
collection with local Indian researchers, musicians and musical instruments
makers and repairers. It was interesting to meet the Indian colleagues and to
have the opportunity to see their work and hear their points of view.
The Thangka Session was a great success -- several colleagues told me that
it was one of the highlights of the conference -- providing many examples of
successful collaborations, as well as many diverse viewpoints and approaches
not only from speakers from different countries (North America, Europe, India
and Asia) but as well from the different perspectives of a museum, private
sector and private collectors, or local and religious communities.The Thangka

During our Working Group's Business Meeting, an important development was
the decision to form a committee to rethink the title of our Working Group: is
the use of the word "ethnographic" still pertinent in 2008 and respectful to
communities of origin? This was initiated following Tharron Bloomfield's open
criticism of the use of this word. I will follow-up with you later on this.
Our Working Group Program was tentatively approved, which will also be
circulated to you later. Those present confirmed by vote my re-election as
Coordinator - thank you! All of the Assistant Coordinators have agreed to remain: Kim
Cullen-Cobb, Farideh Fekrsanati, Monika Harter, Jessica Johnson, Marian
Kaminitz and Janet Mason.
At the General Assembly, the document 'Terminology to characterize the
Conservation of tangible cultural heritage' was submitted, in English and in
French, as a resolution to the ICOM-CC membership in New Delhi and was adopted by
a large majority. You can find the documents and a commentary about the aims,
working method and approach at the ICOM-CC website _www.icom-cc2008.www_
(http://www.icom-cc2008.org/) .
A major initiative for ICOM-CC is its new website, which was launched in
Delhi; Members will receive - imminently - an email asking them to sign-in. [For
