Managing Historic Sites and Buildings

The Issues in Heritage Management series is a joint venture between Routledge and English Heritage. It provides accessible, thought-provoking books on issues central to heritage management. Each book within the series is designed to provide a topical introduction to a key issue on heritage management for students in higher education and for heritage professionals.

Preservation and presentation are arguably the means and ends in the conservation of the historic environment. In an accessible format, this volume examines the choices and tensions involved in the conservation and interpretation of the historic built heritage.

This volume:

Provides economic, social, cultural and educational perspectives on the tensions between conservation practice and public access to the heritage.

Discusses the issues arising from these tensions through an examination of real problems faced by those who manage historic sites and buildings.

Presents introductory and illustrative case histories for students of todays debates and controversial questions.

This volume is essential reading for students and professionals concerned with heritage management, archaeology and planning.

Gill Chitty and David Baker are consultants in historic environment conservation.
