Heritage Management and Heritage Studies

As part of Left Coast's commitment to provide practical information to people working in cultural institutions, we have a strong interest in developing materials for heritage managers, CRM professionals, and others concerned with cultural and heritage preservation.

Our initial offerings include the latest work of well-known CRM curmugeon Tom King, a series of practical guides edited by Caryn Berg of SWCA Environmental Associates.I, and an annual yearbook series on cultural property law, edited by Sherry Hutt and sponsored by the Lawyer's Committee on Cultural Heritage Preservation. We have also launched an international journal on Heritage Management, edited at Northern Arizona University.

Additional material for heritage professionals, both in the US and internationally, will follow in future years.
