This essay considers two industrial sites, an old open-pit mine in Malmberget in northern Sweden and the closed Ignalina nuclear power plant in northeastern Lithuania, to see to what extent each might possibly become part of local heritage processes. Both sites once represented visions of progress and modernity, but today they present problems of waste and unemployment that evoke ambiguous feelings in their communities. These are wounded landscapes that are difficult to heal. However, the physical scars are also part of the stories that are the fabric of heritage, and these landscapes of waste may reemerge as new landscapes of memory and community identity that are directed toward the future.
