... to the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network!
QAHN is an umbrella organization whose membership includes historical and cultural societies, museums, archives, research groups, and individuals who are passionate about the history of Quebec. Our focus is the province’s English-speaking communities, a subject that is of considerable interest to Francophones and Anglophones alike.
Six times a year we publish the Quebec Heritage News, a magazine featuring news and stories from across the province, focusing on a different theme each issue (railways, military, education, etc). We also serve our members by providing information (through this website and the HeritageLine) and maintain a communications centre where information may be obtained on government heritage policy, sources of funding, and QAHN activities.
As part of our mandate to promote awareness of Quebec history, QAHN has undertaken a number of specific projects addressing province-wide concerns:
The Oral History Project has created an inventory of interviews dating back several decades and has prepared a multimedia kit to enable young people to conduct interviews within their own communities.
The Heritage Trails Project has created a series of pamphlets on the heritage sites in key regions, each with a detailed itinerary for a one-day drive.
The Heritage Portals Project has created WebMagazines for Quebec’s tourist regions, each containing a wealth of local information for travelers and researchers.
I wish you a very pleasant visit to the QAHN website!
