We sincerely thank Ann Hardy for her diligent work in canvassing views, compiling and writing this new Nomination on behalf of the Coal River Working Party and the City of Newcastle.
We also appreciate the professional expertise of Amir Rezapour Moghadam. Amir is a qualified art conservator who has worked in the field since 2001 and has gained experience as a conservator at four world heritage sites, including the limestone façades of Persepolis and even more sites of national heritage in cooperation with international teams from Germany, France, United States, and Italy. He has worked for the Iran Cultural Heritage and Truism Organization, Research Centre for Conservation of Cultural Relics (Iran), Parse- Pasargadae Research Foundation, Persepolis Museum and library of Parliament.
We are very fortunate to currently have Amir here in our Cultural Collections primarily working on our State Records and Norm Barney – Ralph Snowball Photographic Collections. His fresh insights and advice in the preparation of this Nomination have been greatly appreciated.
