Paper presented at the National Engineering Heritage Conference (12th: 2003 : Toowoomba).
- Abstract
The paper begins with some general heritage philosophy which applies in the areas of built, natural and indigenous heritage, and explores how that philosophy is viewed or understood by the general public, by enthusiasts and by heritage specialists or professionals. It then moves specifically to engineering heritage and show its value for present and future generations in various ways. It suggests ways of appropriate conservation through reference to the Burra Charter and Engineering Conservation Guidelines. The processes are illustrated through examples of a range of engineering heritage with which the author has been involved. The conclusion drawn is that engineering heritage indeed matters, but its value is enhanced or diminished by the way we handle it.
