Gaelic Revitalization in Nova Scotia - A Resource Guide

Scottish Gaelic has been erased from history to the extent that most people with Gaelic ancestry are unaware of their own linguistic and cultural heritage. Gaelic revitalization is about overcoming the damage done through miseducation, discrimination, and stereotypes, and passing the language and culture on in homes, communities and classrooms to ensure its future use. People are revitalizing Gaelic today in Scotland, Canada, and around the world. Education, design, media, literature, songs, food, religion, celebrations, policy, and scholarship are all different areas of Gaelic revitalization. (Dr. Emily McEwan from “Gaelic Revitalization Blog”)

The following is a quote from Dr. Emily McEwan's Blog which is linked below:

Here’s a list of free online resources for exploring Gaelic in Nova Scotia. Some of the resources are good for Gaelic language learning, some for learning songs or folklore, and some for history and research projects. I decided to compile this list because although the resources are free and publicly available, you still have to know where to look for them – search engines can’t tell you everything! In fact, I first learned about many of these resources through word of mouth.

I’ve compiled my list from a number of older lists on the websites of organizations like Gaelic Affairs and the Highland Village Museum, as well as my own experience. I’ve re-checked, corrected, categorized, and winnowed entries down to focus on the resources that are available to the general public. Not all of these resources are equally user-friendly or up to date, but they are all valuable records of Gaelic in Nova Scotia. The 18th and 19th centuries and every decade from the 1900s through the 2010s is represented here with written, audio, or video resources.
