Published purpose
The project has two components. The first consists of a series of interviews of former miners in the region to collect their histories and stories about their work in the mines, labour relations, safety, the evolution of technology, etc. The second component will use these oral interviews and the archival documents and audio records in the museum's collections to develop a bilingual self-guided tour allowing visitors to the historical centre to take the tour on their own. The museum hopes to make its audio guide available to visitors for the 2019 summer season.
