_Fernweh_ is a collection of essays on archaeological heritage management issues dedicated to Professor dr. Willem J.H. Willems.§§Willem Willems (1950-2014) was one of the most prominent and influential Dutch archaeologists. He directed three national archaeological and heritage organizations, and played a major role in the development of both national and international heritage management systems. His professional passion was threefold: Roman archaeology, archaeological heritage management and international collaboration. This volume is a tribute to him, his passions and the provocative discussions he loved so much. It holds contributions by people who worked closely with him. The essays originate from various contexts across the globe; from governmental organizations to museums, from private sector companies to universities. Some are contemplative, others offer refreshing visions for the future.§§The essays contribute to contemporary debates in archaeological heritage management. They concern the various dimensions and consequences of current policies and practices and address the meaning and use of the world_s legacies from the past in and for society, at present and in the future. The overarching theme is the question of whose heritage we are protecting and how we can better valorise research results and connect with society.§§The book is organised into three parts. The first part, _Time travels_ covers the major challenges the archaeological heritage discipline is facing while heading towards the future. The second part, _Crossing borders and boundaries_, consists of essays that consider the international organizations and projects Willem Willems became (directly and indirectly) involved with. It reflects his trans-disciplinary interests and endeavours. In the third part, _Home sweet home_, the contributions discuss prof. Willems_ involvement with and dedication to Dutch archaeological heritage management, from the implementation of the Council of Europe_s Valletta Convention, to the engagement with people from all walks of life.
