Abstract | Despite a growing recognition that intangible heritage forms an important part of the significance of heritage sites, and that intangible values are intertwined with material resources and spaces, many procedures for the identification and management of heritage sites remain unchanged and fail to integrate these two sets of values. The conservation of heritage sites continues to be dominated by a process that first identifies a material site and then identifies the associated values that comprise its significance. This paper suggests that rather than identifying the physical expression of heritage as the initial point of heritage assessment, the stories (or intangible values) or a region or national history can form the primary mechanism for identifying physical heritage sites. Using the example or Australian government policies or Aboriginal segregation and assimilation, we show how national stories - or intangible values - can be used to identify representative sites. |
