The objectives of the wood committee are to promote understanding and cooperation in the field of conservation of wooden built heritage and to advise on and develop ICOMOS-UK programmes in this field. The committee will have a broad outlook and hopes to achieve its objectives with a wide range of activities including: organising regular talks in the Cowcross Street gallery; holding scientific conferences, workshops and study visits (hopefully at least one per year); organising a major international conference in three yearstime; raising awareness of the activities of the Committee by increasing it’s visibility on the web; maintaining links with other organisations to promote and coordinate themed studies and research projects; establishing and maintaining links with educational institutions and training organisations to advance understanding and cooperation in the field of conservation of wooden built heritage; participating in the preparation of publications (printed or on the ICOMOS-UK website), and the gathering and dissemination of information; and establishing and maintaining active links with the ICOMOS International Wood Committee.
The Committee hopes to bring together individuals from a broad range of backgrounds in the UK who have experience, knowledge, or particular interests in the conservation of wooden built heritage. Membership is open to all members of ICOMOS-UK. New membership and participation is especially encouraged from students and young professionals.
