The writer has done research1 in this field and found out that there are union lists which include the Canadian holdings of non-Canadian newspapers but they cover the area and the subject only partially, and that no coverage of Canada as a whole was ever attempted or is now available* The writer took the following approach to the project* First he discussed the world*s press, its variety and significance, and appraised information contained in newspapers. Secondly he outlined the ways libraries preserve their newspapers* Thirdly he examined the ex­ isting union lists which include Canadian holdings of non- Canadian newspapers and has given an account of their coverage. The fourth and last topic is a survey of the holdings of the Canadian libraries as a result of the questionnaires or previously reported to the Union Catalogue at the National Library. X Sources checked are included in Bibliographies consulted* APPROACH TO THii PROJECT VI The idea for the thesis topic arose from conversa­ tion with Dr. Ian C. Wees, Assistant Chief of the Reference Division of the National Library, within a short time after this writer started work at the Reference Division, in the summer of 1962, he told Qt* Wees that he could not find Canadian locations for certain foreign newspapers and that it was a pity that there was no Man, UfA,ftf.„qPflr Canadian newspapers held by Canadian libraries. Dr. Wees answered* "There is some work for you." This writer did not think at that time that it was even remotely possible that he should compile such a list. However, when he was searching for a topic for his thesis he recalled this conversation and found that he had mixed feelings about it. On the one hand he was attracted by the idea for he knew it would be useful once compiled, and on the other hand he feared that he might not be able to get sufficient response from the libraries and night not be able to manage the tremendous amount of work required, iiince the idea for the union list continued to haunt him, he decided to investigate it thoroughly. From November 196*+ to January 196?, he checked the union lists of foreign news­ papers published, investigated what kind of bibliographical sources were available at the national Library for use in his project, and then decided to attempt it. APPROACH fO tm PROJECT ?II ^'r.^-^Mn January 1°65 he approached fir» Wees and asked hia whether he or anybody else at the National Library intended to eoaolle aueh a list and if not* whether be ' thought it voold be a wise, choice for a thesis topi** At no one was interested la this project there was no reason why the work should not be undertaken* For the next two VA^VH^BvsoesEs ^m ^wse^pv ^^*wii^^e ^o ^v *» ^FW^^HF^^HM^P^#V w^we. *^pw^MF*^nor e*^^sse^psifco^p ^^•w*^*w ^vw^^— ^p *?< Aaguate-M* Herieeet, o*si*i* Director of the Library School of the Uaivortity of Ottawa, approved for a M*L*S. thesis it*w»4»^ j Ml»i Martha Shopard, Chief of the Reference Div- iftiom of the National Library, when the plan vat outlined to he*, supported the idea and suggested that a circular letter bo tout,,,to the Canadian libraries explaining what it w*a<proposed to do and to ask for their co-operation, and t first draft of a circular letter was prepared to bo tout to Canadian libraries2* It was felt that a letter from an iBdiwidual^ would not obtain from the libraries the ao-operation essential for such a projoet$ Mist Shepard offered to send the circular letter herself.

  • Apprentice Strikes in Twentieth Century UK Engineering and Shipbuilding*
    Apprentice strikes in twentieth century UK engineering and shipbuilding* Paul Ryan Management Centre King’s College London November 2004 * Earlier versions of this paper were presented to the International Conference on the European History of Vocational Education and Training, University of Florence, the ESRC Seminar on Historical Developments, Aims and Values of VET, University of Westminster, and the annual conference of the British Universities Industrial Relations Association. I would like to thank Alan McKinlay and David Lyddon for their generous assistance, and Lucy Delap, Alan MacFarlane, Brian Peat, David Raffe, Alistair Reid and Keith Snell for comments and suggestions; the Engineering Employers’ Federation and the Department of Education and Skills for access to unpublished information; the staff of the Modern Records Centre, Warwick, the Mitchell Library, Glasgow, the Caird Library, Greenwich, and the Public Record Office, Kew, for assistance with archive materials; and the Nuffield Foundation and King’s College, Cambridge for financial support. 2 Abstract Between 1910 and 1970, apprentices in the engineering and shipbuilding industries launched nine strike movements, concentrated in Scotland and Lancashire. On average, the disputes lasted for more than five weeks, drawing in more than 15,000 young people for nearly two weeks apiece. Although the disputes were in essence unofficial, they complemented sector-wide negotiations by union officials. Two interpretations are considered: a political-social-cultural one, emphasising political motivation and youth socialisation, and an economics-industrial relations one, emphasising collective action and conflicting economic interests. Both interpretations prove relevant, with qualified priority to the economics-IR one. The apprentices’ actions influenced economic outcomes, including pay structures and training incentives, and thereby contributed to the decline of apprenticeship.

  • History and Bibliography of American Newspapers 1690-1820
    Additions and Corrections to History and Bibliography of American Newspapers 1690-1820 BY CLARENCE S. BRIGHAM FOREWORD HESE additions and corrections cover only certain T fields of the parent work which was published in 1947 in two volumes. All new titles are carefully entered and described, although only nine such titles have been dis- covered in the last thirteen years. Only unique issues acquired by libraries have been entered. Certain libraries, like the Library of Congress, the New York libraries, and especially the American Antiquarian Society, have acquired thousands of issues in the past few years, but these are all in long or complete files and generally are not mentioned. Libraries which have sent me lists of issues recently obtained should note this fact and not expect to find all copies listed. In a few cases long files acquired by libraries have been entered, on the assumption that they might contain a few issues not in the supposedly complete files in other libraries. New biographical facts concerning publishers, printers, and editors are entered. Frequently, the complete spellings of Christian names hitherto known only by initials are given. Important changes in the historical accounts of newspapers i6 AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY [April, have been entered. Most of these changes have been ob- tained through correspondence, or by noting the record of additions in printed reports or bulletins of libraries. There has been no attempt to visit the many libraries to re-examine the various files. Microfilm reproductions issued by various libraries in the past few years have been noted, although not the many libraries purchasing such microfilm files.

    Warner.communicating.liberty-1 Communicating Liberty: the Newspapers of the British Empire as a Matrix for the American Revolution William B. Warner “I beg your lordship’s permission to observe, and I do it with great concern, that this spirit of opposition to taxation and its consequences is so violent and so universal throughout America that I am apprehensive it will not be soon or easily appeased. The general voice speaks discontent… determined to stop all exports to and imports from Great Britain and even to silence the courts of law…foreseeing but regardless of the ruin that must attend themselves in that case, content to change a comfortable, for a parsimonious life,…” Lieutenant-Governor of South Carolina, Wm. Bull to Earl of Dartmouth, July 31, 1774. [Documents of the American Revolution, 1770-1783, Ed. K. G. Davies. (Dublin: Irish University Press, 1975) VIII: 1774, 154.] Momentous historical events often issue from a nexus of violence and communication. While American independence from Britain ultimately depended upon the spilling of blood on the battlefields of Bunker Hill, Saratoga and Yorktown, the successful challenge to the legitimacy of British rule in America was the culmination of an earlier communications war waged by American Whigs between the Stamp Act agitation of 1764-5 and the Coercive Acts of 1774. In response to the first of the Coercive acts--the Boston Port Bill--Boston Whigs secured a tidal wave of political and material support from throughout the colonies of British America. By the end of 1774, the American Secretary at Whitehall, Lord Dartmouth, was receiving reports from colonial Governors of North America, like the passage quoted above from the Lieutenant-Governor of South Caroline, William Bull.
