Present Pasts emerged from the UCL Institute of Archaeology Heritage Studies Section and is currently being re-launched in collaboration with the Department of Anthropology of the University of South Florida. Present Pasts contains global and cross-cultural perspectives in the fields of Cultural Heritage Studies, Public Archaeology and Museum Studies. The journal encourages debate on contemporary issues in heritage and heritage management at the intersection of war, conflict, environmental stress, and tourism, and seeks to give voice to a wide range of stakeholders in the Heritage sector.
