From Venice to Nara:Authenticity through the Lens of Raymond M.Lemaire's Archives
This article examines the question of authenticity from the Venice Charter to the Nara Document,through the experi-ence of Belgian art historian Raymond Lemaire(1921-1997).First Secretary General and second President of ICOMOS,his archives,kept at the University of Louvain,conserve many unpublished sources concerning international debates from the 1960s to the 1990s.The drafting of the Venice Charter and the Nara Document,two documents for which he acted as rapporteur,are documented,as are the attempts to revise the Venice Charter in the 1970s.These records shed light on little-known aspects of these processes and add to our knowledge of these two key references in the history of heritage.They highlight the human factor in the construction of interna-tional documents of principle,warning us not to regard them as universal,immutable statements.
