Salve Regina University presents the 10th Annual Conference on Cultural and
Historic Preservation:

Ritual Spaces and Places: Memory and Commemoration in 19th-Century America

September 14-16, 2006

Commemorative spaces and their accompanying rituals represent windows into
nineteenth-century American culture. Religion, patriotism, and sentiment were
integral components not just in the creation of National Parks, battlefields
and landscape cemeteries, but also in contemporary movements in urban
planning, interior design and architecture. Frequently, efforts to remember
and perpetuate stories, persons or events resulted in competing versions of
the same memories, creating contested and contentious debates that have
reverberated into the present. Salve Regina's 10th Annual Conference on
Cultural and Historic Preservation will focus on this intersection of memory
and place as well as on the preservation of these places in the modern age.
