But before developing this argument further, I want to comment on the implications for this relationship, of the conceptual advances within conservation/restoration. When we look back over the past century, we can measure the advance by referring to the progressice elaboration of concepts within the conservation charters: the Venice Charter, with its codification of the concept of “monument”; the Washington Charter with its elaboration of the concept of monument from the perspective of how it applies to historic towns and urban areas; the shift in perspective embodied in the Australian Burra Charter, and the deepening of understanding evident in the dialogue between the Nara Declaration and the San Antonio document. Behind these, stand the reflections on experience that takes into account our increasing awareness of the diversity of cultural heritage and the debate has moved to consider complex questions regarding “globalisation of values/perceptions and the meaning of concepts of “integrity” and “authenticity” as they apply in disparate cultures.
