Proposed conference paper:Join us as we explore the South Jersey landscape on a romp through historic tourism routes by way of local hotel and restaurant menus of a by-gone era and based on critical tourism studies. You will learn how historical hotel ephemera can elucidate interesting information about the history of travel and tourism. In addition, this methodological discussion will cover findings that are relevant to the need for the redevelopment of post-carbon localized food systems for sustainable tourism planning. Our theme intends to build upon “more nuanced waysfor researchers to trace dishes and their variants through time” and geography (Morrissey, 2011,p. 9). We intend to utilize the printed historical ephemera as a way of understanding place embodiment specifically in the context of food, travel and tourism studies. This joint project between a sustainable tourism faculty member and a faculty librarian will highlight the historic Seaview Hotel located in South Jersey.Morrissey, B. (2011). A library improves searches for historical menus online. Writer, 124(9), 9.
