We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

  • Parks Canada Manuscript Report Series
    Parks Canada Manuscript Report Series by C.J. TAYLOR~ The Manuscript Report Series (MRS) is a collection of about 350 titles (to date) on a variety of Canadian historical subjects. Written reports are a major product of the more than 100 historians, archaeologists and contract re- searchers who work for the five regional offices of Parks Canada and for Research division of its National Historic Parks and Sites Branch in Ottawa and many of these reports end up in the MRS. The series is already large enough to warrant the attention of those interested in Canadian history yet it is not well known beyond the realm of Parks Canada. This situation is partly due to the fact that the series is not a publication and is therefore not advertised or widely distributed and partly because most of the titles are specialised research studies relating directly to historic site. Still, there is an abundance of material that could have a wider use even though some of these reports have been, or will be, published. And it is this wider use of the MRS as an unpublished gov- ernment document that is of particular concern to the archivist. The purpose of the MRS is to disseminate historic sites research to Parks Canada staff. Originally, manuscript reports written by staff historians and archaeologists were kept on file and photocopies made for those within the or- ganization who required that particular research. Before the regionalization of Parks Canada, most historical and archaeological research was done by National Historic Parks and Sites Branch in Ottawa which by the mid-1960s had a large staff assigned to various projects concerned with sites across the ~ountry.~Each manuscript was given to the Research Division records clerk who assigned it a number and placed it on file.
