Environmental historians interested in the possibilities of new media for reaching public audiences might wish to visit Joy Parr’s megaprojects website, which contains several new folders of material, prepared by Jon Van der Veen on the Arrow Lakes. This work will accompany Parr’s forthcoming book, Sensing Changes: Technology, Environment and the Everyday, to be released by UBC Press in December. A different attempt to present the history of dams in the region may be found in a virtual museum of Canada exhibit, The Balance of Power: Hydroelectric Development in Southeastern British Columbia.
