Negotiating the Past The Making of Canada's National Historic Parks and Sites

It was the "politics of historic sites" rather than objective policy that determined the treatment of heritage properties; whether they were marked with a bronze plaque, preserved as ruins, or reconstructed as major tourist attractions. Although the aim of this study is to determine how a national cultural agency works, it also illustrates the way in which the federal system operates to incorporate regional aspirations into a federal form.Taylor, C.
