In this issue 'Heritage Management' and its allied fields
have been touched upon and the articles have been arranged to achieve
a focus and coherence. The beginning of this volume starts with the facets
of heritage, tangible (i.e. Vedic Yupa and Symbolism of Mauryan Pillars)
and intangible (i.e. The Folk Intangible Heritage of Marine Ecology
of a Pondicherry Village). The next article, Archaeological Heritage
Management traces a brief survey of history of protection of heritage
objects. The article, Interpretation in Heritage highlights the
fact that without contextual values and ideation the objects which one
perceives as heritage are worthless and meaningless. Science and Conservation,
Curative Conservation of Manuscripts provides a glimpse into the scientific
basis of conservation, a core aspect of Heritage Management. Cyrax
in Archaeology and Salvage Museology: A strategy for Heritage Conservation
are indicative of the new dimensions and vistas being explored in the
field of Heritage Management. While the article The Traditional Built
Environs of the Indian Cities is a presentation on modernization and
its impact upon existing urban settlements, the article Management
Plan for Unprotected Monuments in India: A Case Study of Mehrauli Archaeological
Park provides a panacea to the above highlighted problems. The final
article Present State of Shahjahanabad Tourism highlights the fact
that heritage is not for mere preservation, but also can be enjoyed to
provide and interesting, informative glimpse into the history, culture
and transformation of the organic entity, which is the city itself.
