Acknowledgments
This volume began life as a workshop at the University of Illinois that was kindly funded by the Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS), University of Birmingham, UK. It formed an integral part of a larger and visionary strategic collaboration between the two universities. We are most grateful to the IAS and to our respective International Relations Offices for their enthusiasm and support and are particularly appreciative of the work of Professor Malcolm Press, Andrea Edwards, and Erica Arthur at Birmingham and Tim Barnes at Illinois. This volume is a product of close collaboration between the Ironbridge International Institute for Cultural Heritage (IIICH) at Birmingham and the Collaborative for Cultural Heritage Management and Policy (CHAMP) at the University of Illinois. It is this collaboration that led to the Trans-Atlantic Dialogues on Cultural Heritage framework that generated the initial workshop. Our warm thanks go to all of our contributors to this volume and their commitment to seeing the publication process through to completion. We express our sincere appreciation to Teresa Krauss, our editor at Springer, for her interest in this volume and to Springer’s Hana Nagdimov for her patience with us. Trans-Atlantic dialogues on cultural heritage began as early as the voyages of Leif Ericson and Christopher Columbus and continue
