A volume in Advances in Service-Learning Research Series Editor
Shelley H. Billig, RMC Research Corporation, Denver Research on
service-learning and community engagement has exploded over the
past decade. It is a field now characterized by increasing
methodological and theoretical sophistication, vast quantitative
and qualitative studies, interdisciplinary research, myriad
subjects, and the internationalization of scholarship. The papers
in this volume were selected from nearly 100 presentations made at
the 2009 annual conference of the International Association for
Research on Service Learning and Community Engagement held in
Ottawa, Canada's national capital. The conference theme, Research
for What? emphasized fundamental questions, namely: to what extent
is rigorous research uncovering best practices in, and
demonstrating the positive results of, service-learning on
teaching, learning and building better communities? The papers
examine such themes through lenses that include the application of
theory to practice, K-12 and university-based service-learning,
interdisciplinary initiatives, and international service-learning.
The introduction provides an overview of the very recent, but
remarkable, growth of service-learning in Canada, and the
conclusion, written by the recipient of the Association's annual
Distinguished Researcher Award, discusses major developments, and
continuing challenges, in service-learning research.

The Military Museums in Calgary, Alberta is Western Canada's only
tri-service museum and military education centre. Containing the
regimental museums of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light
Infantry (PPCLI), Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians), The
King's Own Calgary Regiment, and the Calgary Highlanders along with
the Naval, Army, and Air Force Museums of Alberta, The Military
Museums welcome over 10 000 visitors each year. This is the story
of how The Military Museums came to be. From the unprecedented
coming together of individual regimental museums to form the Museum
of the Regiments to the extraordinary work of veterans and citizens
to create and maintain one of Calgary's principal cultural,
educational, and tourist sites, it is a story of perseverance,
cooperation, and community. With the mantra "Remember, Preserve,
and Educate," The Military Museums, Founders Gallery, and Military
Museums Libraries and Archives are dedicated to preserving the
memories and traditions of the countless Canadians who proudly
served their country through war and conflict. Treasuring the
Tradition: The Story of the Military Museums is a Special
Presentation of the University of Calgary Press
