The Hartney / Cameron Pivotal
Events Project
The project
follows the format, process and products
which have
been
developed by the Historic Resources Branch for this kind of initiative.
This
work involves close reading of our available history to determine a
detailed chronology of
events
and activities that defined the community from its settlement in 1880
until
approximately 1960. This timeline will then be compared with
provincial,
national and international timelines (developed as templates by HRB) to
help
students especially (a key target of the project) to place Hartney
events
in a larger context. It is presumed that local educational personnel
will
consult with the heritage consultant to develop lesson plans that will
help
students create their own timelines.
The Hartney Pivotal Events project will also recast the
information
identified
in the local histories and the timelines into texts that can be used
for
various other communication venues – like plaques, articles,
museum displays,
education materials, etc.
The project will also place the events in the history of Hartney into
the
context of the history of Western Manitoba, and seek to establish a
framework
for addressing the roots of other Westman communities.
The results of the project will be available in print and digital
forms. Resources gathered during this project are available
elsewhere on this section (Heritage) of this site and on the Hartney /
Cameron Heritage Projects site:
