Scope & content

Focus is on place
Defines intangible cultural heritage:

– Intangible cultural heritage means the diversity of cultural practices created by communities and groups of people over time and recognised by them as part of their heritage.

Defines cultural practices as encompassing

all the UNESCO domains

Recognises communities and groups in a

similar way to current Australian practice

Recognises that intangible cultural heritage

is an attribute of place not a value

Uses examples to illustrate the link between

intangible cultural heritage and place

Key issues

The Practice Note uses issues to frame the guidance offered:

Issue 1: Intangible cultural heritage is
verlooked
Issue 2: Appreciating the relationship

between place and cultural practices

Issue 3: Assessing significance
Issue 4: In documenting a place, how are

cultural practices recorded?

Issue 5: Sustaining cultural practices
Issue 6: Cultural practices have ceased

The Practice Note also offers key Resources.

Next steps

The Practice Note ‘Intangible cultural

heritage and place’ has been approved by the Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee

The Practice Note was launched on 20

October 2017 in Canberra at a workshop held by NSC-ICH

The Practice Note will be a ‘live document’

for 12 months - we want it to be tested in projects and reviewed.

Our NSC will now focus on case studies that

explore ICH and place – examples can be powerful in overcoming practitioner reluctance!
