Launched in April 2008, Gaspesian Heritage WebMagazine is a joint initiative of the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN) and the Committee for Anglophone Social Action (CASA).

As part of QAHN’s Quebec-wide Internet heritage website, Quebec Heritage Web, Gaspesian Heritage WebMagazine is designed to serve as a guide to the Gaspé region's rich heritage and history. It is our hope that visitors to this site will come to better appreciate this fascinating part of the province, and eventually visit the Gaspé in person.

Modeled on the acclaimed Townships, Laurentian, and Outaouais Heritage webmagazines, Gaspesian Heritage WebMagazine is the fourth of QAHN's innovative regional Internet magazines spotlighting Quebec's history and heritage, with emphasis on the province's English-speaking community. Together, these four Internet magazines -- and, in time, magazines for all regions of Quebec from Abitibi to Gaspé -- will constitute QAHN’s province-wide site, Quebec Heritage Web.

Submissions to Gaspesian Heritage are always welcome.

CASA, a non-profit community organization dedicated to serving the English - speaking community of the Gaspé Coast, is currently working with QAHN to develop content for Gaspesian Heritage WebMagazine.

Gaspesian Heritage WebMagazine will be devoted to the rich heritage and culture of the English-speaking community of the Gaspé Coast. It will feature articles from community members, historic events, a photo gallery, a cultural events calendar, a database of Gaspesian books, music, art and much more. A core mission of CASA is to protect, promote and preserve the culture and heritage of English-speaking Gaspé.

In the last four years CASA has interviewed hundreds of community elders to ensure the documentation of precious history. The webmagazine will compliment CASA’s activities and ensure that Gaspesian history remains accessible to all generations both now and in the future...
