Welcome


... to the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN).

QAHN is a non-profit, non-partisan provincial organization whose mission is to help advance knowledge of the history and culture of English-speaking society in Quebec.

Founded in June 2000 under the theme, Building a Future for our Past, the provincial organization now functions as a volunteer-based network of Individual, Core and Affiliate members.

QAHN aims to encourage cooperation and improve communication among members, and to assist member societies and organizations to obtain resources and related services for their activities and facilities.

Members include individuals interested in anglophone heritage in Quebec, and organizations such as historical and genealogical societies, heritage foundations, community and research groups, museums, archives, and libraries.

QAHN publishes and distributes Quebec Heritage News ,  a bimonthly, English-language history magazine. The magazine features profiles of remarkable people, events from the past, exclusive book and museum reviews, insight into contemporary conservation issues and province-wide event listings of heritage and cultural activities of special interest to Quebec anglophones. 

Via QAHN's a free electronic newsletter, HeritageLine, members are also kept up-to-date on government heritage policy, funding sources, and inspiring community projects. Sign up   by clicking on the HeritageLine link.

Chute-Saint-Philippe Covered Bridge

Since its inception, QAHN has undertaken a variety of community-based province-wide heritage projects.

In 2007, the Cemetery Heritage Inventory and Restoration Initiative (CHIRI) was launched resulting in the identification of more than 300 cemeteries at risk in the Estrie, Montérégie, Laurentides, Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, and Outaouais regions of Quebec. Visit the recently uploaded searchable online database Cemetery Heritage that includes detailed information in 151 records of cemeteries in the Eastern Townships and Laurentians regions.

The Heritage Trails project created and published a series of attractive pamphlets identifying and describing heritage sites in 20 regions of Quebec. Each pamphlet offers a detailed itinerary that can be used to take you on a one-day drive through the area.

The Quebec Heritage Web portal project created five Heritage WebMagazines, each containing a wealth of local information for travelers and historical researchers.

Our latest project, Voices From Quebec, is an oral history partnership with the Blue Metropolis Foundation and its educational programmes and 10 English-language schools around the province. Students will work with professional audio technicians, educators and local historians to produce podcasts hosted on a website that will be launched at the 2009 Blue Metropolis Montreal International Literary Festival.

Please enjoy a very pleasant visit with us! Kevin O'Donnell, President
