Beyond Artifacts: The Living
Element in Industrial Heritage Areas
The
8th Annual Calumet Heritage Conference, on Saturday, October
13, 2007, in the New Academic Library at Chicago State University,
is a celebration of the Calumet region's foundations and
future.........its heritage.
Changing
regional fortunes can mean that familiar landmarks and landscapes
vanish forever. Rather than closing off the possibility
of regional heritage interpretation, such setbacks can lead
to surprising new opportunities to explore an area's life
and livelihoods. This conference explores the theme of industrial
heritage interpretation when the physical structures are
gone.
The
CALUMET HERITAGE PARTNERSHIP is a diverse bi state coalition
of environmental, cultural and historical organizations,
individuals, libraries, educational institutions, municipalities
and government agencies. Its mission is to
identify, preserve, protect, and reclaim the natural, historical,
cultural, and recreational treasures of the Calumet region.
