  • ENGINEERING HISTORY PAPER #92 “150 Years of Canadian Engineering: Timelines for Events and Achievements”

Wilson May 2019 Abstract The research for this paper was done as part of a sesquicentennial project on 150 Years of Canadian Engineering. Some of its material has also been presented orally. This paper covers briefly and selectively Canadian engineering events and achievements in four time periods: one up to the time of Confederation in 1867, and three others between then and 2017. Associated with the three later periods are corresponding economic/political/social timelines to help put the engineering in context. There are no comments in it on the quality of the design, construction/manufacture, origins and uses of the items listed. This paper took a whole lot longer than expected to research and write, so that it carries a date in 2019 rather than late in 2017, when the chronological material in it ends. There are no maps or photographs.

  • Brauns of Osterwick
    The Brauns of Osterwick Mr. and Mrs. Jakob Braun FOREWORD The purpose of this writing has been to lift a small corner of the veil from the conditions under which the Jakob Braun family and their descendents have come during the past century. This has been accomplished quite inadequately. There are too many areas left unanswered. Three types of information have been employed for this purpose: I. genealogical tables; 2. brief biographical sketches; 3. editorial contributions from all who responded to the invitations. A liberal sprinkling of photographs has been added for emphasis. Information has been gleaned from the small number of family records, diaries, journals, documents, school registers, church records, newspapers and personal letters available. The passing of the first, the second and the oldest members of the third generations has greatly curtailed the information obtainable on the harrowing experiences, but now very interesting information, on the pioneering years. The paucity of such material may be due to numerous factors, the least of which would likely not be the hesitancy of people to do some writing. Moreover what was written, was too often not -preserved. This was regretfully demonstrated by the church secretary who consigned the old church register to the flames when a new one had to be purchased. Since whole families so frequently migrated from the old world to the new, there was likely less cause for letter-writing, removing an important reason for recording family joys and sorrows. More time and money for research may unearth further pertinent material on our family. If this present effort should produce that result it will not have been in vain.
