The Rideau Canal

Herb Stovel Archives

 

Herb Stovel was a prominent member of the Heritage field not only in Canada, but also abroad. He had participated in various projects with ICOMOS, UNESCO, and Parks Canada to name only a few. Because of his work, he had accumulated countless records on the projects he had worked on throughout the years. After his passing, these documents were identified as valuable sources of information that could provide a behind-the-scenes view on the projects in which he had made a contribution; and this is what is now known as the Herb Stovel Archives.

 

In researching the archives, a variety of files relating to Cultural Heritage Landscapes were discovered, and as further research was done, it was obvious that most of these documents referred to the Corridor Cultural Landscape study conducted on the Rideau Canal; these included:

• Introduction to Project Proposal [Rideau Study]

• Development of A Framework for the Study of Cultural Landscapes and the Application of this Framework in A Study of the Cultural Landscape of the Rideau Canal Corridor

• Draft, An Evaluative Framework for Cultural Landscapes (Phase 1 of a Study of the Rideau Canal Corridor as a Cultural Landscape) 1994

• Education’s Draft of an Evaluative Framework for Cultural Landscapes (Phase 1 of a Study of the Rideau Canal Corridor as a Cultural Landscape) March 28, 1994 by Nora Mitchell, U.S. National Park Service

• Rideau Cultural Landscapes Project Archaeology

• Written Notes about the Rideau Canal and the Corridor Cultural Landscape Study, and

• Curriculum Vitae’s of professionals involved in the study.
