| As part of the Newcomers, Neighbors, and Networks
initiative, the Center for the Study of Community is sponsoring
two Strawbery Banke staff research projects. Both projects examine
aspects of immigration in the Piscataqua region, 1880-1930. By
providing useful historical comparison, these projects are important
contributions to our understanding of contemporary globalization and
transnational migration.
Newcomers and Neighbors in the
Landscape
Project
Team Leader: Sherry Brandsema, Interpreter
This project aims to provide greater understanding of community
life in the region while focusing on gardening and horticultural
practices of immigrants. Understanding our history of immigration
and the landscapes migrants helped to create will enrich Strawbery
Banke staff and visitors.
