---------- Always good to hear from you, Anita. My guess is that the definition may be spelled out in a piece of historic preservation regulation somewhere (maybe the Secretary's Standards...), but my bet is that the working definition would include historians, archeologists, curators, architectural historians, and historic architects. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< >>>>>> I'd add everybody related to keeping the Cultural heritage. For example, myself :-))) I am economist and I work at the Commercial Service of a Museum, providing funds to keep it working, and I DO feel like a Cultural heritage professional. I surely would feel different if I worked at the Commercial Service of IBM, for example. I am forwarding the question to another lists. Well, it does feel good to find a "hot" subject to discuss..... ;-) Montserrat Pin Servicio Comercial (Commercial Service) Museo del Prado Claudio Coello, 73 - 3 ES-28001 Madrid Tfno./Phone: 34 1 3302892 Fax: 34 1 3302890 Web site: www.mcu.es/prado E-mail: serv.comercial(a)prado.mcu.es <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< TV -- Tom Vaughan "The Waggin' Tongue" <wt§fone.net> (970) 533-1215 11795 Road 39.2, Mancos, CO 81328 USA Cultural Resource Management, Interpretation, Planning, & Training
