Part five of five on the history of Quebec asbestos.

Ever wondered what it's actually like to trace the path of an old railway through a regenerating forest, or to sift through archives looking for clues about a century-old flood? EHTV: Live from the Field brings that process directly to you. This monthly video podcast from the Network in Canadian History and Environment moves beyond the polished lecture or the finished book, immersing viewers in the raw, often muddy, moments of discovery. Each short documentary is a journey alongside researchers as they work on location, whether that's a coastline being reshaped by climate change, a former industrial site being reclaimed by nature, or a community sharing oral histories about their relationship with the land. You'll hear the questions being asked in real time, see the evidence being gathered, and gain a deeper appreciation for how the Canadian environment and its human stories are intertwined. It’s a unique window into the methods and moments that build our understanding of the past, offering a grounded, thoughtful perspective that challenges how we see the landscapes around us. Tune in for a genuinely on-the-ground look at history in the making.
