The Rooms Where It Happened: Practicing Public History at Victoria’s House Museum Arts and Humanities Colloquium Series

Completed in 1862, Point Ellice House is now a Provincial and National Historic site, a place where visitors are encouraged to draw connections between the everyday life of a privileged Victoria family and the work of settler colonialism. Dr. Kelly Black, Executive Director at Point Ellice House Museum and Gardens and Adjunct Professor in the Department of History, will explain how Point Ellice House is working to update and overhaul its narratives and displays to bring attention to the relationships that sustain(ed) dispossession, people, power, and privilege.
