  • 1 Paper Title: Heritage Management and Museums in St. George's, Bermuda Author: Mingqian Liu Author Position: Doctoral Stud
    Paper title: Heritage Management and Museums in St. George’s, Bermuda Author: Mingqian Liu Author position: Doctoral Student Institutional affiliation: Department of Architecture, Texas A&M University E-mail: [email protected] Summary: Bermuda is the oldest continually inhabited English settlement in the New World, and the town of St. George’s served as the capital of Bermuda from its founding in 1612 to the early 19th century. Today, St. George’s UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrates its 400 years of history, culture, and architecture through historic preservation, heritage tourism and public education in museums. This project aims to investigate the current heritage management situation in this historic town center through field observation, stakeholder interviews, and museum content analysis. Issues being discussed here include heritage narrative and navigating system, human connection to the built environment, diversity and inclusiveness of the narrative, as well as staffing situation at the local museums. Paper: Project background Bermuda is a North Atlantic archipelago with a total area of just twelve square miles. It is approximately 665 miles southeast of the North Carolina coast. Throughout its more than 400 years of history, Bermuda went through different phrases of development. It was originally discovered by a Spanish explorer named Juan de Bermudez (hence, the name of the archipelago) in 1505, although neither the Spanish nor the Portuguese settled permanently on the island. In 1609, an English fleet en route to save the suffering colony of Virginia wrecked their ship, Sea Venture, off the coast of Bermuda. This marked the beginning of the archipelago’s colonial history.
