Godden Mackay Logan's range of expertise and scope of work in all aspects of heritage practice allows us to offer project materials which are of value to students.

Our work includes archaeology, interpretation, heritage management and advice, conservation and assessments. Below you will find resources relevant to these subjects.

We also teach archaeology and heritage management through a collaborative arrangement with La Trobe University in Melbourne - some of the course notes are available for ready student reference.

For further information on heritage organisations and resources, see our Links page.


La Trobe University Lectures
Godden Mackay Logan has a collaborative arrangement with the Archaeology Program at La Trobe University.

Professor Richard Mackay and other Godden Mackay Logan staff contribute to undergraduate teaching and postgraduate research and opportunities are provided to La Trobe students to participate in archaeological field projects with Godden Mackay Logan.

The majority of graduates in archaeology from Australian universities will find employment in the heritage industry, either within government or as consultants.

The training provided by Godden Mackay Logan provides students with an opportunity to gain a thorough knowledge of both theory and practice in heritage management.

Parramatta Historical Archaeological Landscape Management Study
The Parramatta Historical Archaeological Landscape Management Study (PHALMS) was commissioned by the NSW Heritage Office to address competing pressures within the Parramatta area. Parramatta is one of the busiest and fastest growing commercial centres in Australia and is also home to some of Australia’s earliest and most significant historical-archaeological sites.

The project provides a city-wide research framework to assist decision-making about the management of Parramatta’s archaeological resources. Godden Mackay Logan undertook a preliminary assessment of the archaeological potential and significance of the entire Parramatta area (SREP 28), to provide information at a glance about how each piece of land has developed since the earliest days of European settlement and to indicate areas where archaeological remains are likely to be present.

The resulting system is a practical tool that can guide decisions about the management of historical archaeological resources. Parramatta City Council and the NSW Heritage Office draw on the findings of PHALMS when considering development applications in Parramatta.

The PHALMS database has been integrated into the NSW State Heritage Inventory (SHI) database and is currently accessible via the NSW Heritage website.
