Towards an Encyclopedia of Local Knowledge: Excerpts from Chapters I and II
From boat-building to berries, from knitting socks to mending nets, Towards an Encyclopedia of Local Knowledge vividly presents the rich, place-based knowings and doings of more than one hundred knowledge-holders from rural Newfoundland. Renowned artist Pam Hall perfectly marries her singular artistic vision and her exhaustive community-based research in a stunning celebration and preservation of rural knowledge. These images and texts come together to reveal and revalue the local in a time when global monoculture seems overwhelming.
Reviews

-Joan Sullivan, The Telegram
“…a stunning book honouring the people of rural Newfoundland and their wide-ranging expertise.”
