Speakers Announced For Cardozo Program on April 10th
The Committee on Cultural Policy and Cardozo law school have announced speakers for its upcoming April 10th program discussing the reform of US Cultural Policy. CPO first publicized this event here.
Hmm, what does a metal detectorist think I'd say to the ACCP? I have already written my response to their "White Paper". I note that it includes the idea of registering collections, but was disappointed to see they did not develop the theme. Maybe CPO and his metal detecting friends can develop the theme here.
Peter Tompa has collected ancient coins for almost 50 years. He has written and lectured about cultural property issues for a decade. He is a contributor to a chapter on numismatics in K. Fitz Gibbon ed., "Who Owns the Past?" (Rutgers 2005). He has lobbied members of the U.S. Congress and the Executive Branch in an effort to ensure that the small businesses of the numismatic trade receive fair treatment from federal regulators. He currently serves as a board member of the Cultural Policy Research Institute and the Ancient Coin Collectors Guild. He also has been a co-chair of the American Bar Association's Art & Cultural Heritage Law Committee. His advocacy has received notice in the media, including the New York Times, the New Yorker, the Art Newspaper and the Voice of America. He hopes his views as a collector and lawyer will provide a counterpoint to the "archaeology over all" perspective found in most blogs about cultural property issues.

All, I'm closing comments to this blog. This is merely a notice of a coming event and CPO had nothing to do with picking the speakers.
