Departing from traditional historiography focused on the economic role of resource development, Canada’s Victorian Oil Town incorporates an understanding of the connections between science and technology, nation and imperialism, and cultural nuances of community-building. Burr looks at the cultural importance of place and how collective identity was nurtured in the community. She also illustrates how the image of Petrolia as Canada’s Victorian Oil Town has been used since the 1970s to develop a thriving tourist industry in the region. Interdisciplinary in scope, Canada’s Victorian Oil Town draws from the history of imperialism, science, resource development, local history, gender studies, and cultural geography.
