5203 |aThis attractive coffee table book is a dictionary that will give its readers a glimpse of our nation's commemorated past through everyday items, and leave them with a taste for more knowledge about Canada's special places. This first volume begins a classification system for the more than 500,000 objects found in Parks Canada's historical collection. Prepared by Parks Canada specialists in collaboration with student and professional ethnologists, linguists and terminologists from the Universities of Laval and Ottawa, this book provides a comprehensive reference tool for understanding our material culture. This publication was conceived within the framework of a national project to provide a better understanding of the material culture we protect, value, and wish to share with other Canadians and the international community. It will be especially appealing to those with an interest in Canadian history, ethnology, culture and antiques. Within the three main categories of Structures, Furnishings, and Personal Artifacts, the objects covered by this identification scheme range from heating to headwear and from breeches to buttonhooks.
