About
My quest is to find and write the forgotten stories of the Gaspe Coast. I hope that you will join me on this unique and amazing adventure into the past. |
Hello my name is Mary Robertson and I am a storyteller from the Gaspe Coast.
I was born here and have always had an interest in the stories about this fascinating place that I still call home. Through the years I have been involved with many history and heritage projects. In my early 30's I was a part of a history group whose members shared stories about the Gaspe Coast. In 2000, I was hired as the Director of the Cascapedia River Museum, and for 12 years I had the privilege of researching its history. I wrote its interpretation plan and built exhibitions for some of the most interesting stories that the Grand Cascapedia River had to tell. I also worked in partnership with many of the other heritage sites on the Coast and realized that there were many more stories waiting to be told. I do not consider myself a historian. Instead I suppose you could say that I am a collector of stories. My experience as a museum curator, led me to the belief that I had to create a place to house the rich collection of stories, legends and folklore of the Gaspe Coast, so that they could be easily found and accessible to everyone, on and off the Coast. If you have story that I should add to this collection, please let me know by clicking this LINK. Thanks! |
Gaspe Coast Stories is a collection
of stories, legends and folklore.
Its mandate is to collect the stories of the Gaspe so that they will inspire an understanding and appreciation for the history, heritage, and culture of the Gaspe Coast.
It is here that I hope to collect and write about some of the forgotten stories so that I can present them in a way that is accessible to everyone.
This is a private collection that you will not find as a collective piece of work elsewhere. And many of these stories have never been made available in this written English downloadable and printed format.
