Talk:Heritage interpretation

message: I don't think we should be including histories of organizations that support interpretation here. If we included one (e.g NAI or IC), then we should include all professional support organizations worldwide (Scotland, Australia, etc. etc.) The article would then become more a collection of histories rather than a description and perhaps a dissertation about the communication process called heritage interpretation.

replies: text: I've added an Interpret Scotland page with an internal link to this Heritage Interpretation page. I suppose other organisations can do the same if they make sure they include the relevant references for notability? Kitreid 09:41, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

message: First-person interpretation is a subset of heritage interpretation. Therefore I feel a merge would be appropriate.BC 17:00, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: I don't object as long as we merge the content in rather than just delete it and make a redirect. Kevlar67 02:42, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, merging the content. This will mean a bit of reorganizing but I believe that all information contained in the two articles will be appropriate to the HI article.BC 05:06, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Would certainly make sense but perhaps requires a fair amount of new content on this page aswell Kitreid 12:32, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would argue strongly against reorganizing thematic interpretation as a subset of heritage interpretation.  I would be more inclined to agree to the reverse (i.e., heritage interpretation as a subset of thematic interpretation).  Thematic interpretation would make sense as a subset of the more general "interpretation" since it is an approach to interpretation that is based on a particular body of cognitive and social psychology.  But thematic interpretation is applied around the world to MANY subject areas.  Yes, natural and cultural heritage are among them (hence the generic "heritage interpretation").  But a thematic approach is also used to interpret science, wine, beer, energy production, manufacturing, food, art, music, and a host of others topics that would not normally be considered "heritage interpretation" per se.  Another option would be to leave the organization as it currently is and just hot link relevant keywords.  I prefer this latter option. Sham2 (talk) 00:17, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

text: I agree with Sham2.  Thematic interpretation should NOT be considered a subset of heritage interpretation. Furthermore, when considering Tilden and his principles of interpretation and more contemporary authors on the subject, clearly this is a unique form of interpretation and as Sham2 states should be considered a subset of the more general "interpretation".(1sylvan1 (talk) 00:31, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Would be alot easier if the heading was Interpretation rather than Heritage Interpretation or Thematic Interpretation. But with language interpreting having taken that mantle, I'm not sure how that can be managed? Anyone able to sort it out? Perhaps Interpretation (bracketed) would be better than Heritage Interpretation? But what suitable word would there be to differentiate this type of interpretation from language translation?

message: How is it possible that the founder of interpretation is not even mentioned?! --Espoo (talk) 21:43, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't say Muir was the founder of interpretation. He certainly had an influence on interpretation, but so did a lot of other naturalists and writers such as Darwin, Wallace, Agassiz, Andrews, Beebe, Akeley, Fairchild, DuChaillu, White, Thoreau, Burroughs, Jeffries, Van Dyke, and Seton. And the early scouting movement and other youth-serving organizations provided youth with nature interpretation activities. The museum movement in the late 1800s and early 1900s helped to spark interpretation. For instance, the Carnegie Institute and the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial, and American Association of Museums promoted trailside museum programs in the US national parks. Major universities encouraged the development of museums and related educational programs including park naturalist programs. As far as early guiding is concerned, the origin isn't clear. Many of the early naturalists were skilled at leading nature excursions, but the father of nature guiding is generally considered to be Enos A. Mills (1870-1922). Mills began conducting nature field trips in Rocky Mountain National Park in 1889. So the origins are a little more complex than being founded by just one person. Your question does lead me to wonder why there is no history/origins of interpretation section. Seems like an obvious omission to me. - BC  talk to me 18:02, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
