Tableland Heritage Network

Fifteen volunteers from some eight different museums and heritage groups travelled from across the tablelands to attend the recent Tableland Heritage Network (THeN) meeting.  This second meeting for the year was held at the Mareeba Heritage Centre with that organization acting as host for the day.  The meeting opened with a workshop conducted by the region's Museum Development Officer, Dr Jo Wills which centred on the correct handling of artifacts within the museum and how best to secure a index label on each object.  After morning tea and reports from the different member groups, the delegates made a tour of the newly renovated Jamieson House where the Centre's plans for this development was explained.  The next THeN meeting will be held at Ravenshoe in late October.
