Moreover, the classificatory hierarchy employed in the NACE Codes is not utilised fully with respect to the sector, leading to the exclusion of relevant specialisms, such as Conservation-Restoration, from the data. It is argued that the NACE Codes reflect a somewhat anachronistic model of a sector dominated by public institutions when in fact the majority of today’s practitioners work in the private sector. The paper proposes an alternative classification of cultural heritage, arguing that the relevant Division in the NACE Codes should be renamed «Cultural Heritage Activities».

[1]) investigations into the inclusion of Conservation-Restoration in the NACE Codes [2]. It is observed that the classificatory hierarchy employed in the NACE Codes is not utilised fully with respect to the sector, leading to the exclusion of relevant specialisms, such as Conservation-Restoration, from the data. Whereas this is easily resolved; and with minimal adjustment to the codes; the definition of heritage implicit in the Codes does not reflect current theory or practice. It is suggested that the relevant Division in the NACE Codes be renamed “Cultural Heritage Activities”. The paper finishes by considering how cultural heritage might be developed as a discrete sector, where the activity of Conservation-Restoration is situated alongside all other heritage related activities.
