  • 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.

    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.

  • Hide and Skin: an Alaska Tannery Conundrum by Jeri Rubin and Irfan Ahmed1
    Hide and Skin: An Alaska Tannery Conundrum By Jeri Rubin and Irfan Ahmed1 Abstract: Kellie Olanna and Roger Nayokpuk were co-managers of Shishmaref Traditional Industries (STI), a tannery and small enterprise in the village of Shishmaref, Alaska. The village is located on Sarichef Island in the Chukchi Sea, just north of the Bering Strait and five miles from the Alaska mainland. STI custom tans furs and hides and retails tanned furs and hides as well as finished fur and hide products. STI is facing an uncertain market, an unreliable supply chain, and dated machinery that inhibits its ability to excel in its business. STI has made a decision to seek funding for new machinery and facilities expansion. In order to justify and support the decision to expand the tannery and undertake a major investment, Olanna and Nayopuk need to conduct industry and market analyses to determine the attractiveness of STI’s industry and market. After a long day at the tannery, Kellie Olanna and Roger Nayokpuk were ready to head home. The temperature had gone down to ten degrees below zero that day. They were glad Roger’s children had agreed to give them a ride. Being pulled home in a bearskin lined sled by all-terrain vehicle was definitely better than walking. On the ride home, Kellie and Roger talked about how things were going at the tannery. They were concerned. The tannery needed upgrading and demand for its products was decreasing. They wanted to help their village survive: with few ways to earn income, their subsistence-based village often struggled to generate the funds it needed.
