Résumé (en anglais)

Polar heritage is a witness to the pioneer spirit of the polar explorers from various countries and keeps alive the memory of sometimes highly dramatic events during the race to explore the last untouched regions of the world. The ephemeral character of this fragile heritage scattered across the polar wilderness shows once more that we today define the term “monuments and sites“ as places of memory and historic sites in the widest sense. Here the task of the monument conservation authorities is to protect and save the last traces, including of course written and pictorial documentations of what will be irretrievably lost due to natural processes of decay. In view of the particular aesthetic quality of these photographic sources certain parallels between the results of our documentation and conservation endeavours on the one hand and tendencies of 20th-century art, especially the international art movement since the 1970s dedicated to “securing traces“ on the other hand, suggest themselves. The documentation by the Polar Heritage Committee proves that under these circumstances even “rubbish“ can become relics. Also in this case conservationists who are sometimes reproached for practising a modern cult of relics are able to justify their concern over the “historic fabric“ by maintaining that only the monuments which have been preserved on the authentic places and in their authentic materials despite all the scars of time and the growing signs of decay are authentic documents of human history.
