Nature, Place, and Story
National historic sites commemorate decisive moments in the making of Canada. But seen through an environmental lens, these sites become artifacts of a bigger story: the occupation and transformation of nature into nation. In an age of pressing discussions about environmental sustainability, there is a growing need to know more about the history of our relationship with the natural world and what lessons these places of public history, regional identity, and national narrative can teach us. Nature, Place, and Story provides new interpretations for five of Canada’s largest and most iconic historic sites (two of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites): L’Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland; Gran...
Proceedings of the Canadian Parks Service Reconstruction Workshop
Proceedings of the workshop on period reconstruction. The workshop explains how thinking on the practice of reconstruction has evolved and how Canadian Parks Service (CPS) has translated this thinking into policy. Reconstruction as an interpretive medium is examined, along with the implications and approaches to managing CPS's ageing reconstructions. Alternatives are then suggested.
Grosse Île

Grosse-Île National Historic Site
This information document is designed to present the approach that the Canadian Parks Service favours to meet the preservation, commemoration and regional objectives set for Grosse Ile. The paper is in four parts. A first section examines the heritage interest of Grosse Ile as well as current use of the site and condition of resources. The second chapter discusses the long- term objectives which the Canadian Parks Service intends to pursue at Grosse Ile. The third part focuses on the issue of development of the site by opposing advantages and constraints. Finally, the last section presents the proposed development concept and discusses prospects of visitation to the site.
Heritage Values in Site Management
The analysis of the four historic sites featured in this publication-Grosse Ile and the Irish Memorial National Historic Site in Canada, Chaco Culture National Historical Park in the United States, Port Arthur Historic Site in Australia, and Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site in the United Kingdom-provides valuable insight into the creation and management of heritage values. Each case study articulates how values are identified and assessed by the governing bodies; where (and with whom) the values reside; how the values are implemented into management policies and objectives; and the impact that these decisions have on the sites themselves. This book will be a vital tool for institutions and individuals engaged in the study or practice of site management, conservation planning, and/or historic preservation. Also included is a CD-ROM that contains supplemental management and planning documents created and used by the site-management authorities."
