Funded Activity Summary

The Presence of the Past: Historic places & community identity in Australia. This project will examine the explosive growth of interest in, and efforts to protect, historic sites in Australia between the mid-1960s and 2010. During this period, the number of recognised historic sites and buildings in Australia grew from less than 200 to almost 35 000. Focusing on the perceived social-political value of historic sites, the project seeks to explore how historic places have been understood and valued by different sections of society, and how government has responded to this growing public interest in heritage. It also seeks to further our understanding of how cultural values and identities are mediated, and how heritage landscapes and the historic fabric affect cultural wellbeing and belonging.
