The fourth in a series that documents architectural conservation in different parts of the world, Architectural Conservation in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands: National Experiences and Practice addresses cultural heritage protection in a region which comprises one third of the Earth's surface.

In response to local needs, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands have developed some of the most important and influential techniques, legislation, doctrine and theories in cultural heritage management in the world. The evolution of the heritage protection ethos and contemporary architectural conservation practices in Australia and Oceania are discussed on a national and regional basis using ample illustrations and examples. Accomplishments in architectural conservation are discussed in their national and international contexts, with an emphasis on original developments (solutions) and contributions made to the overall field.

Enriched with essays contributed from fifty-nine specialists and thought leaders in the field, this book contains an extraordinary breadth and depth of research and synthesis on the why's and how's of cultural heritage conservation. Its holistic approach provides an essential resource and reference for students, academics, researchers, policy makers, practitioners and all who are interested in conserving the built environment.

"An academic text that doesn't pretend to be otherwise, Routledge's Architectural Conservation is required reading for anyone involved in heritage conservation. But it's also a highly readable and comprehensive overview of the field; foundational reading for anyone interested in why and how we try to preserve heritage in the Pacific (including globally groundbreaking approaches), and how this might be done better." - Anna Knox, Heritage New Zealand, Winter 2024

"This new publication is a large and densely written tome, which will undoubtedly prove to be an essential resource for the academic study of heritage conservation in future." ...."The ability to be able to compare conservation approaches across the Pacific and reflect on ways in which indigenous values and voices are creating a new way of appreciating our built environment offers much to both the casual and diligent reader." - Ann McEwan for ICOMOS Aotearoa New Zealand News, June 2024
