Other Events in 2010

Now that George Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Trust feels that there is a need to strengthen and deepen the knowledge and understanding of various stakeholders to protect the site.  Therefore, several talks and book launch were organised for the public which included the following:

  • Conserving Heritage Sites in Sydney by Bruce Pettman, 17 January at PHT and 18 January at George Town World Heritage Incorporated office
  • The Straits Settlements & Malayan Volunteer Forces by Rosemary Fell, 27 January
  • Heritage in Britain – Role of the National Trust and its Volunteers, 24th January
  • Book Launch “Penang under the East India Company”

Besides hosting the public talks, we also co-organised with George Town World Heritage Incorporated to produce several capacity building workshops conducted by experts from AusHeritage for MPPP officers, specific groups and stakeholders:

  • Cultural Mapping Workshop, 26 June 2010
  • Museum Curation and Management Workshop, 28 June 2010 at PHT. Conducted by Heather Mansell.
