Under this grant, which was awarded to the History in Art Department at the University, projects were undertaken in partnership with community heritage organizations to research and document little-known but historically important collections. The articles in this issue of BC Historical News are a product of preliminary research mainly by University of Victoria students and myself in connection with two continuing CURA projects: an examina- tion of the liturgical textiles in the collection of St. John the Divine Church in Yale and a study At work at the Anglican Archives in Vancouver.

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.

It takes advantage of newly digitized historical newspapers and soldier files to explore how the people of Victoria B.C. Canada, over 8000 kilometers from the front, experienced the Great War 1914-1918. Although that experience was similar to other Canadian cities in many ways, in other respects it was quite different. Victoria’s geographical location on the very fringe of the Empire sets it apart. Demographic and ethnic differences from the rest of Canada and a very different history of indigenous-settler relations had a dramatic effect on who went to war, who resisted and how war was commemorated in Victoria.

Urban planning resources are not part of this com­ pilation. All references in this bibliography are Web sites with a URL (Universal/Uniform Resource Locator) or Internet address beginning with the Internet protocol designator http://. Because the URL must include the Internet protocol designator, we have shown the Web protocol designator. The two most popular graphical Web browsers, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator, both default to a Web URL when the Internet protocol designator is not included. Those accessing the Internet through a proxy server, a firewall or who have high-security browser settings may encounter problems with some of these Web sites. The resources are organized alphabetically by the author of the Web site content, or by Web site title. The URLs are underlined since that is the default display mode in many Web browsers.
