Did you know that there are two websites in particular that allow you to find presentations and papers relating to matters covered by the IHBC’s Areas of Competence, and we mean ‘ worldwide’?
Slideshare is a website where anyone can post copies of presentations which they have given, on any subject. A search for historic building conservation brings up a range of presentations, from heritage education in China and discussions relating to the NPPF and heritage to UNESCO policy analysis.
Academia.edu is a social networking site for students, researchers and academics, where people post their own papers, publications and presentations, but can also follow and link to others who are interested in the same topic areas. You can choose to follow topic areas, for example ‘heritage conservation’, ‘cultural heritage’ ‘stone conservation’ or ‘archaeological method and theory’.
Why not explore or join these sites, and extend your digital heritage network? You can also share articles and presentations which you think may be of interest to members through the IHBC LinkedIn group.
