Abstract Heritage stone was initially considered in terms of building stone; however, the use of natural stone extends much more widely into utilitarian applications, implements by prehistoric humans as well as decorative stones and gemstones. Nevertheless, there are limits to heritage stone designation where it may seem that recognition of a Global Heritage Stone Resource is inappropriate despite some favourable aspects.
ROBERT BEDFORD (1874–1951), THE KYANCUTTA MUSEUM, AND A UNIQUE CONTRIBUTION TO INTERNATIONAL GEOLOGY
Abstract David Oldroyd served a double term (1996–2004) as Secretary-General of INHIGEO, working with Hugh Torrens (1996–2000) and Manuel Pinto (2000–04) as Presidents. Meeting sites during this time included Beijing (1996), Liège (1997), Neuchâtel (1998), Freiberg (1999), Rio de Janeiro (2000), Lisbon and Aveiro (2001), Paris (2002), Dublin (2003) and Florence (2004). Minor changes in the Terms of Reference and By-Laws aided the mission of INHIGEO. Continuity was a key aspect of Kennard Bork’s term (2004–08). President Philippe Taquet (2004–08) and the INHIGEO Board were responsive to resolving operational issues. Annual meetings were held in Italy (2004), the Czech Republic (2005), the Baltic States (2006), Germany (2007) and Norway (2008). In the period since 2008, INHIGEO has continued its success while undergoing constructive changes. The INHIGEO Newsletter has been transformed into the INHIGEO Annual Record , which is publicly available on the internet. The longstanding limit on membership numbers per country has been abandoned, a category of Associate Membership has been introduced and a quarterly INHIGEO Circular was introduced in 2012. An Affiliated Association category was created in 2014. This contribution focuses on the progress of INHIGEO in the years 1996 to the present day. It has been prepared by Kennard B. Bork, INHIGEO Secretary-General (2004–08) and Barry J. Cooper Secretary-General (2008–16). Tragically, David Oldroyd passed away on 7 November 2014 and could not contribute to this paper. In his place, one of us (KBB) discusses David’s major contributions.
Abstract The justification for studying the history of geology is analysed from an Australian perspective. It is considered that history is an essential part of all geological research. With the rise in geological employment, a natural interest in professional history has also developed. A long history of mining in Australia with geological involvement has also led to a greater appreciation of history by local communities. Human understanding of the world is enhanced by studying the history of the earth sciences. Much can be learned by studying the history of geology from an Australian perspective; however, the impact of European ideas and long-standing resource exploration has had a profound impact on Australian geology. Changing specializations in the earth sciences are also noteworthy, while, arguably, the historical role of some individual geologists has been significant.
The ‘Global Heritage Stone Resource’ designation: past, present and future
Abstract The proposal to designate those natural stones that have achieved widespread utilization in human culture was first mooted in late 2007, and first presented in a public forum at the 33rd International Geological Congress in July 2008. Over the next four years, a network of international correspondents was created, circulars were distributed, a website was established and formal rules were adopted, all with the focus of establishing the ‘Global Heritage Stone Resource’ designation. During the 34th International Geological Congress in July 2012, the Heritage Stone Task Group was formally established under the auspices of the International Union of Geological Sciences, in association with the International Association of Engineering Geology and the Environment, Commission C-10 Building Stones and Ornamental Rocks, and with a formal Board of Management. It has now been recognized that the new designation has value both in offering a mechanism to promote the safeguarding of stone resources, as well as in the formal definition of stone types within sufficiently tight parameters that it can facilitate name protection. For the future, the Board of Management needs to encourage and approve nominations for the new designation. As well, an annual conference needs to be organized.
Building stone as a part of a World Heritage Site: ‘Piedra Pajarilla’ Granite and the city of Salamanca, Spain
Abstract Building stone is a significant product in most human communities. While some civilizations paid more attention to the aesthetics of the stone, others focused more on physical properties, especially durability, as well as the ease of transportation to construction sites. These latter issues determined which rocks were exploited, in preference to others, for centuries. Ancient Roman society became expert in constructing durable engineering projects (e.g. roads, bridges and aqueducts). Most of their projects were realized using local granites and most remain in excellent condition today. The historic cores of many European cities need to preserve their integrity, using the original building stone of the city both for new construction and for restoration. A supply of the original material should be preserved in order to avoid use of alternative building stones when restoring old monuments. In Salamanca, a specific unique granite was used to build many of its monuments that are now preserved as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. An attempt to preserve this architecture and restore it, when needed, with the original material is the main focus of our paper, as some experiences using other types of rocks have led to unfortunate results.
