Extract from Chapter 1: Introduction

As the Ian Axford Fellow in Public Policy in 2000, I came to New Zealand to examine the transfer of historic analysis and understanding from professional historians writing in universities and public agencies to the public interpretation of New Zealand’s human heritage resources. In my original fellowship application, written in March 1999, I proposed ‘a comparative study of heritage resource management in New Zealand and the United States’. This report contains the findings for the New Zealand part of the comparative study only. References to practice in the United States and in other countries are, however, used to clarify and expand the discussion of New Zealand’s cultural and historic heritage management practices and policies.
