Description

Authors associated with seven leading museums from Atlantic Canada have contributed chapters for this volume. Each explains how history has been interpreted in his particular institution, describing the themes which are stressed and outlining the reasons for adopting the interpretive approaches which are used. The text and accompanying photographs provide a glimpse of the contents of the museums and place the exhibits in their operational and intellectual context.
