Life after life of archaeological archives – accessibility and re-use of archaeological collections in heritage management. EAC 26th Annual Meeting and Heritage Management Symposium

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

10 years ago, the European Archaeological Council set out on a mission to embed archaeology in the society. As stated in the Amersfoort Agenda, heritage managers across Europe wanted to: “Stimulate and facilitate society’s involvement in archaeology, while at the same time encouraging archaeology’s involvement in society by linking it to other policy domains and the societal challenges of today’s world, Know the public: analyse the wants, interests and expectations of stakeholders in society regarding their involvement in archaeology, preferably through interaction with those stakeholders, Integrate archaeology into education for children and young people” (EAC 2015, s.16). Within the theme of “Managing the sources of European history”, they expressed a need to “aim for the greatest possible access to digital archaeological resources for various user groups and exploit digital databases to their full potential, including uses for the greater public” (EAC 2015, s.21). All this in the spirit of the Council of Europe Framework Convention on the Value of Cultural Heritage for Society, which states that a prerequisite for cultural heritage is its recognition as a reflection and expression of the constantly evolving values, beliefs, knowledge and traditions of people (CoE 2005, Art.2). With regard to the EAC mission, it should be recalled that the signatories of the Faro Convention have decided to place people and human values, sometimes contradictory, at the heart of an enhanced interdisciplinary concept of cultural heritage. They recognize everyone's right to benefit from the cultural heritage and to contribute towards its enrichment, while respecting the rights and freedoms of others. Respect for the heritage of others as part of the common heritage of Europe is henceforth an obligation. “In return”, the Convention gives people a voice to assign their own meanings and values to those remains of the past that they consider heritage. The parties to the Convention are also convinced of the need to involve everyone in society in the ongoing process of defining and managing cultural heritage (CoE 2005, Preamble). In order to fulfil its ambitious plan, the EAC’s work in the following years concentrated around the broad topic of making choices, resulting in the development and publication of EAC Guidelines 3-10, tackling the issues of significance, public benefit, research frameworks, and archaeological archiving. In the broader strategic context, an increasing number of parties have ratified the Faro Convention and there has been a general increase in the attention given to cultural heritage and its potential. For example, from 2017 onwards, Strategy 21 and related activities were undertaken, and in 2018, the European Year of Cultural Heritage was celebrated. At the forthcoming symposium, we intend to conduct a more detailed examination of the current state of the heritage management and archaeological sectors with regard to archaeological archives. This examination will take place 10 years after the formulation of the Amersfoort Agenda and 20 years after the Faro Convention. Do archaeologists perceive themselves as one of heritage communities? To what extent are the general public and other stakeholders regarded as actual partners by national or regional systems of archaeological heritage management? Does the archaeological community enable and facilitate the reuse of archives? The 26th EAC symposium invites submissions of papers addressing the following themes. Prospective speakers are encouraged to consider the broader implications of their research beyond the scope of individual case studies. This entails a focus on the needs of systemic archaeological heritage management, including the scalability of presented case studies.
