In this episode of the History Slam, Sean Graham talks with City of Ottawa archivist Paul Henry about the city’s old Barrack Hill Cemetery, the discovery of human remains during LRT construction, and the recent re-interment ceremony. They also chat about the effort to identify the individuals, funeral practices before the Victorian age, and how spatial meaning is altered with changes to the physical landscape.
