About this Event
For over sixteen years, Dr. Gordon Goldsborough has been exploring Manitoba's back roads in search of the stories that shape our past. Those travels have led to the mapping of over 10,000 historic sites -- now freely accessible through MHS InSite, the Manitoba Historical Society's award-winning mobile app for Apple and Android devices. In this presentation, he will share how the project began, what kinds of discoveries it has made possible, and how InSite helps users navigate the province's rich heritage. He will also highlight ways that community members can contribute their own knowledge to strengthen and expand this growing resource.
Retired university professor Gordon Goldsborough is the Acting Executive Director, Head Researcher, and Webmaster of the Manitoba Historical Society. He has a weekly column on CBC Radio 1's Weekend Morning Show, writes a regular column for the "Manitoba Co-operator" newspaper, and is archivist for the Manitoba Agricultural Museum. He has written five books on Manitoba history, the most recent of which is "On The Road to Abandoned Manitoba".
