The intangible qualities and claims that
define a
community’s past are often not readily evident to members of
the
community or to visitors, but may be made accessible through
interpretation and commemoration.
The lives of notable individuals and the
events and
activities that shaped the course of history are, however, essential
aspects of our heritage, and necessary for any place to help define its
identity. It is important that individuals and groups undertaking this
kind of work do so with the highest standards possible, and with the
kind of up-to-date approaches that define heritage activity in the 21st
century.
The following entries, designed both for
groups and
individuals interested in this endeavour, provide information and
guidance about a range of approaches that will ensure that the history
and heritage claims of Rivers and the R.M. of Daly continue to play a
vital
role
in the community’s identity.
