The Pennsylvania Heritage Parks Program was introduced in 1989 to promote tourism and economic revitalization through the conservation and interpretation of a region's industrial heritage. The program emphasizes a multiphase planning process to develop conservation strategies for a region's historic, cultural, recreational, and environmental resources. "Heritage parks" require and initiate a shift in symbolic meaning. They transform areas of industrial decline into "cradles of American industrial heritage" with tourism potential and a revitalized community spirit, both of which can attract new investment. Ethnographic perspectives have played a key role in the Heritage Parks Program planning process, and they have been structured into the program guidelines. Now, as the program enters its third year, there is a need for anthropologists and folklorists to participate as members of contracted consultant teams
