Abstract
Heritage matters. It is cherished and celebrated, but also frequently contested. It is a touchstone to the past, both individual and collective. It connects cultural memory to particular places or events and defines expectations about, and responsibilities to, the connections that people have between generations, over centuries if not millennia. Heritage, and the benefits that flow from it, is such an essential part of people’s lives that a person’s unfettered access to their heritage should be considered a basic human right.
