Public participation and local community involvement have taken
centre stage in heritage practice in recent decades. In contrast
with this established position in wider heritage work, public
engagement with conservation practice is less well developed. The
focus here is on conservation as the practical care of material
cultural heritage, with all its associated significance for local
people. How can we be more successful in building capacity for
local ownership and leadership of heritage conservation projects,
as well as improving participative involvement in decisions and in
practice? This book presents current research and practice in
community-led conservation. It illustrates that outcomes of
locally-led, active participation show demonstrable social,
educational and personal benefits for participants. Bringing
together UK and international case studies, the book combines
analysis of theoretical and applied approaches, exploring the lived
experiences of conservation projects in and with different
communities. Responding to the need for deeper understanding of the
outcomes of heritage conservation, it examines the engagement of
local people and communities beyond the expert and specialist
domain. Highlighting the advances in this important aspect of
contemporary heritage practice, this book is a key resource for
practitioners in heritage studies, conservation and heritage
management. It is also relevant for the practising professional,
student or university researcher in an emerging field that
overarches professional and academic practice.
