Sir,— I have the honour to present the report on Archives tor L901. Since the last report was published there have been received front London 64 volumes of copies of State papers, namely: Upper Canada, 1840, 1841, I" volumes ; ''> Lower Canada, 1840, volumes ; Nova Scotia, correspondence 3 volumes. Dispatches to Governors. 1768 t<> 1834, 13 volumes; Minutes of Executive Council. 1753 to 1785, 13 volumes; Journals of Legislative Council. 1758 to 1764, 4 volumes; New Brunswick. to .'1 volumes Dartmouth 1784 to 1796, 7 volumes ; Hudson's May papers. 1673 1759, ; papers, 17">9 to 1784, l' volumes; Admiralty papers, 1812 to 1815, 6 volumes. From Paris there have been received 24 volumes, namely: He Royale, 1740 to 1762, IS volumes; Missions, 1760 to 1768, 2 volumes; Tie St, .lean. 1717 to 1758, 2 volumes; Prise de Louisbourg, 1758, 2 volumes. These have all been shelf-marked and placed on the shelves, making an addition to the previous collection of 88 volumes of State papers. The work is conducted with the greatest care, so as to have exact transcripts of the documents that no errors may occur in the copies. Instructions have been given that whenever an apparent error is found in the original it shall be indicated by a slight pencil mark so as to save correspondence. The utmost regard is paid to economy m conducting the work of the branch, so far as that does not affect its efficiency. to the Owing to my long continued and severe illnesses I have been unable prepare usual summary of the volumes reported on. or to select the documents to be printed in full in the repeat. The work was, however, carried on under my direction by Mr. Alexander Duff and Miss M. Casey, assistants, so that during my illnesses it has not been neglected. The calendars contained in the present report relate, to some extent, to a very critical period in the history of Canada and give a summary of the events leading Up to the rebellion as well as to the rebellion itself. In addition to the docu- ments in the State papers, the volumes relating to the same subject in the C series may be consulted with advantage. Sir Francis Bond Head, Lieut.-Governor at the time published a narrative of the transactions of the period in various forms, but the one that is most accessible is in a volume issued by John Murray, London, in 1839. lhis gives Sir Francis Head's side of the story. There are also documents relating to the vi CANADIAN ARCHIVES. 1-2 EDWARD VII., A. 1902 clergy reserves, the disposal of which was a burning i|uestion, elderly in Upper Canada, as it did not affect Lower Canada to the same extent. The dispatches about boundaries on the eastern frontiers may also be noted. The reports of the Gosford commission on grievances are to be found in the volumes marked Q -3'2 to 235, where they may be consulted. A careful examination of the calendars will give a fair idea of the contents of the State papers there summarized and show amongst other subjects the objects, so far as their letters explain these, of Papineau in Lower Canada, and Mackenzie in Upper Canada as well as the light in which their movements were regarded by their opponents.

  • The Scots of Beechwood Tour
    The Scots of Beechwood The Scots have immigrated to Canada in steady and substantial numbers for over 200 years, with the connection between Scotland and Canada stretching farther — to the 17th century. Scots have been involved in every aspect of Canada's development as explorers, educators, businessmen, politicians, writers and artists. The Scots are among the first Europeans to establish themselves in Canada and are the third largest ethnic group in the country. With a history and heritage this long, it was only natural that the Scots of Ottawa found a home at Beechwood Cemetery. 1. TOMMY DOUGLAS - Section 64, Graves 285, 286 Born on October 20, 1904 in Falkirk, Scotland. In the fall of 1928, Tommy became a minister at Calvary Baptist Church in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. He felt first hand the harshness of the Depression in the prairies. Douglas knew that something had to be done for the common man. His experience with the vast unemployment and poverty transformed T.C. Douglas, the clergyman, into a social activist. By 1932, Douglas helped organize an Independent Labour Party in Weyburn of which he became president. The movement soon evolved into the Farmer Labour Party. This party offered hospital care for everyone on an equal basis, including unemployment insurance and universal pension. By July of 1932, the labour parties of the four western provinces formed an alliance under the name Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF). The CCF became Canada’s first national socialist party. In 1935, Douglas was elected into parliament under the CCF. By the early 40’s, Tommy moved away from the federal politics and became leader of the Saskatchewan provincial CCF party (1942) while maintaining his seat in the House of Commons.

  • Toronto Has No History!’
    ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY By Victoria Jane Freeman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto ©Copyright by Victoria Jane Freeman 2010 ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY Doctor of Philosophy 2010 Victoria Jane Freeman Graduate Department of History University of Toronto The Indigenous past is largely absent from settler representations of the history of the city of Toronto, Canada. Nineteenth and twentieth century historical chroniclers often downplayed the historic presence of the Mississaugas and their Indigenous predecessors by drawing on doctrines of terra nullius , ignoring the significance of the Toronto Purchase, and changing the city’s foundational story from the establishment of York in 1793 to the incorporation of the City of Toronto in 1834. These chroniclers usually assumed that “real Indians” and urban life were inimical. Often their representations implied that local Indigenous peoples had no significant history and thus the region had little or no history before the arrival of Europeans. Alternatively, narratives of ethical settler indigenization positioned the Indigenous past as the uncivilized starting point in a monological European theory of historical development. i i iii In many civic discourses, the city stood in for the nation as a symbol of its future, and national history stood in for the region’s local history. The national replaced ‘the Indigenous’ in an ideological process that peaked between the 1880s and the 1930s.

  • Private Bankers in Ontario Hayseed Capitalists: Private Bankers in Ontario
    HAYSEED CAPITALISTS: PRIVATE BANKERS IN ONTARIO HAYSEED CAPITALISTS: PRIVATE BANKERS IN ONTARIO by STEPHEN EDWARD mORNING, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University August, 1994 -- -- --- - --------------- DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (1994) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Hayseed Capitalists: Private Bankers in Ontario AUTHOR: Stephen Edward Thorning, B.A. (University of Guelph) M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVJSOR: Professor John C. Weaver NUMBER OF PAGES: viii, 502 ii ABSTRACT The structure of the Canadian banking system, and the establishment of strong chartered banks at a relatively early stage, have overshadowed banking institutions that operated outside the chartered system. The non-chartered or private banks can be categorized into three groups: the joint stock banks of the 1830s, the urban private bankers who appeared in the 1850s and after, and the small-town private banks of the post-1868 period. AJI three types of private banks were established to fill perceived niches in the chartered bank system. Those of the 1830s possessed an anti-establishment, hinterland bias. The urban private bankers specialized in savings and foreign exchange transactions, and often branched out into insurance, debentures, and ultimately stocks and bonds. The small town private banks began and prospered when the needs of small hinterland communities outpaced the inclination and ability of chartered banks to provide them with banking facilities. Unlike the urban private bankers, those in small towns offered a full range of banking services, and they often acted as insurance and real estate agencies as well.

    Information Session #3: Causes of Discontent in Upper Canada I. Causes of Discontent A. The Way The Colony Was Governed - we talked about this before(see notes) - since councils and governor were not chosen and elected by the people, they could do whatever they wanted- often ignored the people B. The People Who Ruled The Colony - the problem was that people on councils always chosen from among the wealthy and influential people of the colony - included judges, clergy, bankers, lawyers, military officers, business people - most were from Loyalist Families - close friends- the colonist nicknamed them he Family Compact- belonged to high social class - thought because they were wealthy and better educated, they could govern colony more effectively than ordinary people - governor usually selected all officials Sir Francis Bond Head- immigration officers, coroners, sheriffs, etc. - gave land grants - spent money to reward faithful supporters - farmers and poor were not included - John Strachan - one of the most powerful - Bishop of Toronto - he thought Anglican Church should have special privileges - only Anglican clergy allowed to perform marriages - he did do some good - John Beverley Robinson - Chief justice things to - education - lawyer - he was head of all law courts - elected representatives had no say as long as Family Compact was around C. The Problem of Land - land granted to settlers unfairly - most of land had once belonged to Native peoples - Sir Francis Bond Head was governor - 1836- convinced some Native Peoples to move to reservations in Georgian Bay- best land given to Family Compact and Friends - as a result less than 1/10 of land producing crops - most of good land owned by people who weren’t Farming it - waiting for value to increase so they could sell it - 1/17 f land given to Anglican Church (Clergy Reserves) - people said not fair to other Churches - biggest complaint - land left uncleared for years - poorer land given to new immigrants - no roads could be built through reserves D.

  • Canadian Archives: Patterns Porn a Federal Perspective
    Canadian Archives: Patterns porn a Federal Perspective More than 115 years have passed since the government of Nova Scotia appointed the first provincial archivist in Canada. The centennial of the Public Archives of Canada has come and gone. In the years following 1872, Canadian archival institutions developed in a manner characteristic of this country and in sharp contrast to archival development in the United States of America. At the 1974 Conference of the Society of American Archivists held in Toronto, a session was devoted to "Strategies for documenting national cultures: a cross national comparison" .' What has been the general shape of the emerging archival strategy in Canada? What problems do archivists and users of archives across Canada have in common? What might be our strategy for the future? In 1967, when the Society of American Archivists last visited Canada, we were all busy celebrating one hundred years of life under the British North America Act with a declared objective of "peace, order and good government". This goal, in striking contrast to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" favoured by our American colleagues, was an all important factor in the development of archives in Canada. But what were the hallmarks of this "good government" a hundred years ago? A quick response might be "peace" in a united Canada, and "order" through the I This article derives from a paper given at the annual meeting of the Society of American Archivists in Toronto, October 1974. The session for which the original version of this paper was prepared, was designed to contrast archival development and strategies between Canada and the United States of America, requiring a search for those patterns of initiative and relationship which have shaped the ~anadiantradition.
