    JANUARY - FEBRUARY, 1978 Volume XXVII; Number 1 GREAT LAKES MARITIME INSTITUTE DOSSIN GREAT LAKES MUSEUM Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan 48207 JAN/FEB, 1978 Page 2 MEMBERSHIP NOTES Welcome to 1978! A brand new year, a brand new slate, and a brand new outlook. It is going to be difficult to keep up with the pace set in 1977, but the continued success of the Institute demands that we not just meet, but surpass last year. At the close of the year our member­ ship had grown to approaching 1,50C. pretty good for an organization that had 97 members in 1959...but this year we’ll shoot for 1,600. It’ll take a lot of work, and you’ll have to help, but you always have, so we should make it. Telescope production last year produced a total of 244 pages, and in addition to that we produced the FITZGERALD book with 60 pages. For the uninitiated, this means your Editor typed, then Varityped 608 pages. This much production takes a lot of time, but we are going to do something about it, and we’ll have an announcement to make perhaps as early as the next issue. Not only will what we have planned result in far less work to getting Telescope out, but it will produce a far better product. Yes, 1977 was a good year...but 1978 looks better. MEETING NOTICES Regular membership meetings are scheduled for January 27, March 31, and May 19 (early to avoid Memorial Day weekend). All meetings will be at the Dossin Museum at 8:00 PM.

  • Port Arthur Shipyards Finding
    PORT ARTHUR SHIPBUILDING FONDS RECORDS GROUP 5 Please Read these two paragraphs first. This text file was originally produced as a hard copy finding aid produced some years ago for the museum staff and those making use of the Audrey Rushbrook Memorial Library and Archives. It is a long text file and was intended for on-site researchers. Many browsers have a 'find in page' feature in their browser that will permit you to search for words and phrases. Staff and others who are very familiar with this collection find the text file useful. You are of course welcome to use this text file but there is a more efficient way to search for information about specific items in the collection by using the Search the Collection tab. Specific items in the collections are given an inventory control number called an Accession Number usually in three parts, for example - 1993.0011.0001. (meaning the first item in the eleventh collections to be accessioned in 1993). Retain these numbers should you intend to visit the archives and use the material. Additional material has been added to the collection since this finding aid was produced. The most up to date information can be found online at our search engine link - archives and pictorial. Always schedule an appointment in advance should you intend to use the library/archive resources. This fonds consists of the corporate records and engineering drawings of the Port Arthur Shipbuilding Company [PASCOL], a division of Canadian Shipbuilding and Engineering. The material ranges in date from the establishment of the shipyard in 1910 to 1986 inclusive, with the bulk of the documents belonging to the early years with a gap to more modern records of the 1980's.
