The New Brunswick Military Heritage Project
The New Brunswick Military Heritage Project, a non-profit organization devoted to public awareness of the remarkable military heritage of the province, is an initiative of the Brigadier Milton F. Gregg, VC, Centre for the Study of War and Society of the University of New Brunswick. The organization consists of museum professionals, teachers, university professors, graduate students, active and retired members of the Canadian Forces, and other historians. We welcome public involvement. People who have ideas for books or information for our database can contact us through our website: www.unb.ca/nbmhp.
One of the main activities of the New Brunswick Military Heritage Project is the publication of the New Brunswick Military Heritage Series with Goose Lane Editions. This series of books is under the direction of Marc Milner, Director of the Gregg Centre, and J. Brent Wilson, Publications Director of the Gregg Centre at the University of New Brunswick. Publication of the series is supported by a grant from the Canadian War Museum.

About the Author
A native of Keswick Ridge, New Brunswick, Shawna M. Quinn holds a BSc in Biology-Psychology (1999) and an MA in History (2006) from the University of New Brunswick. After earning the David Alexander Prize in 2004 for her undergraduate essay on a nineteenth-century school inspector, she began her graduate research examining the private and public priorities of inspectors for her thesis, “‘Sympathetic and Practical Men’? School Inspectors and New Brunswick’s Educational Bureaucracy, 1879-1909” (2006). In a concurrent project, she surveyed the contributions of several women to the growth of New Brunswick’s provincial museum, featuring their efforts online in a virtual exhibit entitled “Progress and Permanence: Women and the New Brunswick Museum, 1880-1980.” One of these women was Nursing Sister Agnes Warner.
Shawna’s interest in history extends also to historical interpretation and preservation. She spent several seasons developing and leading educational programs at Kings Landing Historical Settlement and is involved in the support and management of community museums through Queens County Heritage and the Keswick Ridge Historical Society. She currently lives in Upper Gagetown and works as an instructional designer.
