 River Journeys In Southwestern Manitoba I self-published this little volume in 1996 and designed my first website based upon the research. That website is still current, making it one of the longest running websites in Manitoba.

History Bio Research Projects Much of my research and writing was commissioned by Municipalities and Heritage Associations and financed by the Manitoba Heritage Grants Program. Aside from a few printed copies, usually in Binder Format, many articles have not been published or otherwise widely distributed in hard copies. I do have ready-to-print pdf copies of most of my projects for those who prefer that format over a website and will happily grant permission to anyone who would like to print or otherwise distribute my work.

 Heritage Projects I have produced dozens of Heritage Projects for Municipalities and Heritage Committees. These are generally inventories of places, people and events or focused reseach projects. All projects are delivered in Binder format, and most are online. Special Places Special Places Projects were developed by the Historic Resources Branch as a method of creating Community Inventories of Heritage Resources and subjecting the sites to an analysis process that will help communties protect and use their heritage resources to best advantage. I piloted the first projects in 5 communities in 2008. The projects are in Binders that allow for updates and additions. They are available in Municipal Offices and/or Libraries and Museums in host communities. Many of the projects are available on Heritage Websites I created and maintain for those communities. Links are included in this list.
