Gresham College Lectures
The Value of Heritage and the Heritage of Value
•
Gresham College
There was a time when old places were valued simply for their beauty and interest. https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-value-of-heritage-and-the-heritage-of-value
Since the 1980s, for many, this is not enough. There is now a whole industry calculating the financial contribution of our history to everything from climate change to health. Have these calculations added to the value of our heritage or have they fundamentally devalued it. Is it time to develop a new argument as to why we should care about our historic environment?
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-value-of-heritage-and-the-heritage-of-value
Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website. There are currently over 2,000 lectures free to access or download from the website.
