To identify what ought to be protected and why is one of the most important missions of the heritage manage- ment. Issues related to values and the act of assessing are, however, seldom scrutinized on a deeper level. The aim of this article is to give a short history of the valu- ation of the heritage up to the present from a Swedish perspective. Additional aims are to reveal some current and historical trends in order to illustrate the connection between past and present valuation systems, to analyze various issues that have contributed to the current plu- ralistic approach, and to investigate which theories of values affect our assessments today.
