Course Outline
This course provides a comprehensive approach to determining significance, =
based on a values-based management approach to heritage conservation. The a=
pproach begins with identifying the purpose of a conservation program or pr=
oject, traces this purpose through the types of heritage values that may be=
applicable (historical, aesthetic, social, cultural, scientific or spiritu=
al), determines kinds of heritage resources (objects, buildings, structures=
, historic districts, and cultural landscapes) and the range of stakeholder=
s who may have an interest in the values and resources, in order to define =
the program or project's identification and evaluation criteria.
Once the criteria have been established, information requirements can be de=
fined and evidence gathered, analyzed and assessed. The final step in deter=
mining significance is to write the conclusions as a statement of significa=
nce, expressing the significance that has been determined.
