Cultural Heritage

Cultural Heritage focuses on the investigation of all aspects of culture that link the past, the present and the future.

These involve:

• museums,collections,historic places and buildings;
• traditional cultural forms including the arts, the urban environment and a rand of ritual practices;
• the natural environment which is culturally framed and almost invariably modified by human activity;
• public institutions by which life is ordered, regulated and frequently enriched, and which have heritage significance of their own;
• systems of knowledge, including those(such as Australian bush culture) which are informal in both content and transmission;
• such aspects of social life as belief systems, folklore, customs and popular culture; and
• community and corporate life;
• history and identity.
