Rebecca Hartley

About

Rebecca is a second-year MA student in the Department of History at Queen’s University working under the supervision of Dr. Caroline-Isabelle Caron. Her current research examines the origins of twentieth-century colonial ‘streetscape’ exhibits in Canadian museums, and how these exhibits’ narratives were adapted to meet the public’s changing historical needs. Rebecca comes from Victoria, British Columbia, where she grew up working and volunteering at local museums and historic sites.
