IFLA Newsletter n° 86 - A new year, a new world (February 2010)

This issue includes articles on new member associations from Paraguay, Ecuador, and Central America and the Caribbean, who were welcomed to IFLA at the World Council meeting in Rio in late October 2009. We introduce our new Vice President Europe, Nigel Thorne and other European executive committee members Carlo Bruschi (VP Professional Practice) and Marina Cervera Alonso De Medina (Secretary). The IFLA elections are underway at present so in two months time the new President and other regional Vice Presidents will be introduced.
We have a new office: Executive Secretary Christine Bavassa has moved into new premises in a location that is closer to the action in Brussels. We are sharing an office with a local representative of the International Society of City and Regional Planners (IsoCaRP), so we will have immediately better opportunities to work with one of our partners.

Working paper: "World Heritage: Where Are We? An Empirical Analysis"

World Heritage: Where Are We? An Empirical Analysis. By Bruno S. Frey, Paolo Pamini. A working paper for the Center for Research in Economics, Management and the Arts (CREMA).

An empirical overview of the UNESCO World Heritage List according to various characteristics is presented. The officially stated intention of the World Heritage List is to protect global heritage. Our focus is on the imbalance of the existing List according to countries and continents. The existing distribution is compared to hypothetical distributions considered “balanced” from different points of view. It turns out that the World Heritage List is unbalanced with respect to a distribution of Sites according to population, area or per capita income. This paper wants to reveal facts about the existing distribution, and is designed to help a reasoned discussion to emerge.

Conservation-restauration des peintures murales: de l'antiquité à nos jours.

Conservation-restauration des peintures murales: de l'antiquité à nos jours. Par Geneviève Reille-Taillefert. Publié par Les Editions Eyrolles.

Après vingt-cinq années d’investigations et de recherches sur les différents supports et les techniques de peintures murales, Geneviève Reille-Taillefert partage dans cet ouvrage son expérience et l’état d’esprit dans lequel se trouve le restaurateur face aux problèmes de conservation des peintures murales. De la déontologie aux méthodes opératoires, la première partie de ce livre offre une vue générale de la restauration et de ses techniques. De la fresque romaine aux peintures murales du XXe siècle, la seconde partie décrit les techniques picturales de chaque époque nécessitant des solutions de restauration spécifiques. Les nombreux cas d’école mettent à chaque fois en avant une technique de restauration particulière et sont constitués de chantiers de restauration menés par l’auteur.

Cet ouvrage de référence s’adresse aux étudiants des écoles de restauration, aux restaurateurs, aux élus locaux, aux conservateurs des Monuments historiques et aux amateurs du patrimoine en général.
