Can anyone help with some innovative strategies for the above.
I am on the Port Arthur Heritage Advisory Panel, responsible for heritage
advice to the Board of the Port Arthur Historic Site, Tasmania, Australia.
Colleagues may remember it most recently as the scene of an horrific
massacre by a lone gunman in 1996.It has a much longer history of horror
than that however, having been for several decades in the 19th century a
prison for transported felons. Much of the site is now removed or in ruins
but it retains a powerful atmosphere and some impressive ruins of its major
buildings. Some buildings are intact, albeit heavily restored.
Does anyone know of any good strategies for interpretation on such a site
that do not involve 'signs on sticks'? Personal experience or references to
published work, conference papers etc would be very welcome.
Thanks and best wishes for the New Year to you all
