| Marj Heinrichs is a journalist, photographer and communications consultant. These pursuits, along with her interests in politics, First Nations, health care and community development have led to her participation on various community and provincial boards.
From a background as a high school English teacher, Dianne Hiebert moved into freelance communications consulting, writing, editing and short-run publishing. She has guided many biographers through their projects.
As a partnership, we work with other contractors such as artists, designers, and printers, as needed for each project.
We have had the privilege of working with these clients:
- Central Regional Health Authority – Manitoba
Rosetta Projects writes and edits Central RHA’s semi-annual newsletter, which is distributed to
98,000 people in the region. We also work with Central RHA on specific communications projects, such as the recent position document, “Quality and Sustainability: Building a health care system that works for Central Region,” prepared for the Minister of Health and the people of the region to outline new directions in health care.
- Mishkeegogamang First Nation
Rosetta Projects worked with the community over several years to research, photograph, write and publish a community history, called Mishkeegogamang: The Land, the People and the Purpose.

| The Rosetta Stone is a basalt slab that was found in 1799 in the small Egyptian village of Rosetta (Rashid). The stone is so important because it contains the same text written in two languages (Egyptian and Greek), using three scripts (hieroglyphic, demotic and Greek) commonly used in Egypt at the time the stone was carved – 196 B.C. In 1822 a French scholar was able to decipher the hieroglyphics. He proved that hieroglyphs have not only symbolic meaning but that they also served as a spoken language. In this crucial breakthrough, previously silent symbols were translated into a living language.
We chose the name Rosetta Projects for our company because of this symbolism. Our passion is to help people and communities to discover and record their history, unlocking the “hieroglyphics” of the past to enrich present lives and future generations.
