Even as culturally significant sites and artefacts are becoming more valuable in our globally connected world, they are at risk from destructive forces. The Cultural Heritage Management Symposium brings together the activities of stakeholders committed to preserving our cultural heritage.
The Cultural Heritage Management Symposium in person and at the Castle, Durham
This one-day in-person symposium will bring heritage leaders, archaeologists, anthropologists, development specialists, and others involved in the investigation, administration, protection, management, and interpretation of sites and items representing histories, traditions, and cultural identities.
