  • The History and Practice of Bark Tanning in Newfoundland and Labrador
    Heritage NL Fieldnotes Series, 007, June 2020 The History and Practice of Bark Tanning in Newfoundland and Labrador [email protected] -- Heritage NL -- PO Box 5171, St. John’s, NL, Canada, A1C 5V5 By Katie Crane and Dale Gilbert Jarvis, Heritage NL Introduction In June 2017, Bell Island native, craft producer, and maker Clare Fowler appeared on Heritage NL’s Living Heritage Podcast to talk about her work, which focuses on the use of seal fur and seal leather. In the course of the conversation, she brought up the topic of seal skin leather boots, and the use of birch bark in tanning the leather. Regarding sealskin boots, she noted: They have such a historical and cultural significance on the Northern Peninsula. So many people have used them and they were just like a necessity of life. They're absolutely beautiful and stunning but not too many people are making them anymore and not too many people are doing the birch bark processing. I know a number of people who are experimenting with it but we were only able to track down one gentleman who was actually still doing it on somewhat of a small scale because the demand for it was lessening over time. The tradition of bark tanning and the use of bark mixtures for the preservation of textiles has a long history in Newfoundland and Labrador. This article traces the linguistic history of the verb form of the word bark, the use of bark as a preservative ​ ​ and colourant, describes the process involved in the creation of tanned materials in CRANE and JARVIS.

INTRODUCTION Both leather dressing and fur dressing have an origin which may be regarded as identical and which date back to a hazy period of antiquity. Ancient man killed animals in order to obtain food. The animals also furnished a skin which, after undergoing certain treatments, could be used as a covering for the body. Man had to, and did, find some means of preventing decay in a more or less permanent fashion.

  • Paul Hardy's Session Tunebook
    10 Jul, 2008 Paul Hardy Paul Hardy’s Session Tunebook Introduction This tune book contains tunes that I have learned to play on my English concertina, that are played at folk music sessions, particularly in the area around Cambridge, England and Redlands, California. They should also be playable on fiddle, whistle, etc. I have also included guitar chords, often generated by abcmus if not present at the tune’s source. Most are traditional tunes from the British Isles, many of Celtic origin, particularly Irish dance tunes, but others are from an eclectic mix of sources. Many have been adapted from Internet resources, originally in abc or midi formats. Others have been learned by ear or handouts from various sessions in the UK and US. All are believed free of current copyright (unless noted explicitly), or else appear to have been placed in the public domain. Please let me know if you are the owner of any that are under access restrictions and I’ll remove them. I have tried to choose the simple versions of most tunes, without decoration and interpretations, so add your own triplets, grace notes and variations. This tunebook has been prepared using abcm2ps, with help from abcmus and Melody Assistant. Particular thanks go to Greenshoots (www.greenshootsmusic.org.uk) for the slow sessions near Cambridge in England that let me learn many of these tunes; the concertina sessions at Chiltinas near Bedford in England that gave me confidence; the Ceili House Band in Redlands in California that opened my eyes and ears to the range of Irish music; and to the celtic jam sessions at Green Valley Lake in the nearby San Bernadino Mountains that broadened my repertoire.

    English Fifteenth Century Book Structures Nicholas Hadgraft Ph.D University College London ^^^^ ELO,^DIN.. UNIY , 2 Acknowledgements It is impossible to thank all of those people who have offered help and advice over the past seven years of my research. However, I know that those who are not mentioned will understand the need for brevity. First, I would like to thank Francis Hookham who has somehow managed to organise my computer skills; there can be no doubt that without his support and advice these findings would never have reached fruition. He is also responsible for introducing me to the very exacting skills of Dr. Raymond Kelly who, at short notice, provided some critical proof reading. My understanding of book structures has grown over many years, and there are three mentors who must not go without mention. Christopher Clarkson was my tutor at West Dean College from 1987 to 1989. I am immensely grateful to Christopher for his generosity in teaching a subject of which he is the contemporary pioneer. From 1984 to 1987, I worked as the Conservation Assistant to the Parker Library whilst Dr. Nicholas Pickwoad was the Consultant, and it was during this time that I learned to appreciate book structures. Professor Raymond Page was the driving force behind the new projects in the Parker Library during the 1980s and early 1990s. He developed a vital centre of study, and actively encouraged those people working there to initiate research on the collections. I owe him a great deal for his encouragement and support. I would like to thank Cheryl who somehow managed to persuade me to complete this thesis.

  • Paul Hardy's Basic Tunebook 2020
    14 Sep, 2021 Paul Hardy’s Basic Tunebook 2021 Introduction This Basic Tunebook contains a subset of the more commonly played and simpler tunes from Paul Hardy’s Session Tunebook. Both tune books contain tunes that I have learned to play on my English concertina, that are played at folk music sessions: particularly around Cambridge (England) and Redlands (California), and at some UK concertina gatherings like those at Kilve in Somerset. They should also be playable on other folk melody instruments like fiddle, whistle, flute, or dulcimer. Most are traditional tunes from the British Isles, including many English, Irish, and Scottish dance tunes, but others are an eclectic mix of session favourites. Many have been learned by ear or handouts from various sessions in the UK and US, while others have been adapted from Internet resources, in abc, midi or visual score formats. All are believed free of current copyright (unless noted explicitly), or else appear to have been placed in the public domain as part of the ongoing live folk music tradition. Please let me know if you are the owner of any that are under access restrictions and I’ll remove them. I have tried to present simple versions of most tunes, without much decoration and interpretation, so add your own triplets, grace notes and variations. I have included guitar chords, sometimes refined from computer-generated ones - use these as guidance, not definitive! Tunes in 4/4 time that have the rhythm indication "Hornpipe" should usually be ’swung’ - lengthen the first and shorten the second in every pair of quavers - as in "Thursday".
