International Council Finding the Spirit of the place

16th General Assembly and International Scientific Symposium

Quebec, Canada, September 29 – October 4, 2008

INFORMATION

This CD-ROM features 250 articles written by researchers, professionals and specialists in the field of heritage, people from all four corners of the world who met together to examine the issue of spirit of place and heritage during the ICOMOS 16th General Assembly and Scientific Symposium, which was held in Québec City, Canada, in October 2008. A good many of the articles were written by participants in the International Forum of Young Researchers and Professionals in Cultural Heritage that was held just prior to the Symposium.

The articles have been grouped under seven sub-themes, four of which are linked to the Symposium and three to the Forum. These sub-themes can be found in the “Scientific Program” section. The authors are solely responsible for the content of their contributions, which does not necessarily reflect the opinions of ICOMOS or its members. It is therefore up to the readers to reach their own conclusions as to the interest and scientific relevance of the articles.
The reproduction of these articles, in whole or in part, is subject to the Copyright Act in force in Canada as well as the laws and regulations in effect in the countries concerned.

This CD-ROM is a supplement to the printed programs for the Symposium and Forum.
