In this edition of the Heritage Update - coopering, spruce root basketry, and the making of Labrador black bottomed sealskin boots are all listed as being under threat in the 2024 Heritage NL Craft at Risk list; we look back at the legacy of Samuel Garrett, a skilled master stonemason (he who built the famous Four Sisters on Temperance Street); a note on our fall events, including a symposium this November in Heart's Content about how communities can take action to conserve historic cemeteries; a report on our Paradise People, Places, and Culture Workshop; the youth poster contest entry information; a peek at the new online exhibition - The Early Lebanese Community in Newfoundland; the experiences of the Lamaline Heritage Society at building a younger board of directors; and some thoughts on the Newfoundland placename, Goblin.
