HIST 4710

This capstone seminar provides students with the opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge gathered from the Certificate in Heritage Studies program to an institution-focused research project in Heritage Studies. The project will allow students to draw on the resources of a particular local institution (e.g., Pier 21, Nova Scotia Museum sites, Dalhousie Archives, etc.) and will culminate in the submission of a final project. Each participant will choose a local institution early on in the course. By the end of the semester, they will be required to submit a research project focused on a collection or potential collection at their organization, along with an executive summary presentation of this project.
