'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'.
