1 Since the turn of the century researchers have compiled information and collected documents, objects, plans, and drawings of, about, or from Louisbourg. This activity peaked during the last 20 years with the reconstruction of one-fifth of the town. As a result, Louisbourg National Historic Park houses three large collections, namely the archives and library, the archaeological collection, and the furnishings and reproductions collections.

2 The following inventory of persons working on material culture research or the interpretation of the town's material history includes permanent staff members and outlines only current or recently completed projects. More detail on these projects, information on past projects, and the names of researchers located elsewhere working on Louisbourg material can be obtained by writing: Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Park, P.O. Box 160, Louisbourg, Nova Scotia, BOA 1M0.
