  • Painting and Sculpture in Canada
    PAINTING AND SCULPTURE IN CANADA M. 0. HAMMOND HEN Louis Jobin, the wood carver of Ste. Anne de Beaupre, W passed away in 1928, at the age of 86, he severed a link which united primitive and modern art in Canada. Through his long life he had created figures in wood, the last of a noted line of artists in their own field. Ancient calvaires beside Quebec highways, fading wooden Indians in front of cigar stores, surviving figure­ heads on sailing ships, religious figures on the fa~ades of French­ Canadian churches, as at Ste Famille on Isle d 'Orleans, dating from 1749---these are relics of the wood-carving age in Canadian art, that may be found by diligent search. Jobin's own life spanned the developing years of the newer art in Canada, the art of painting. We may pass over the efforts of the Indians, visible in the decorative totem poles, carvings in bone, shell and ivory, and the painted ceremonial faces of the red men, and ignore the efforts of educated Frenchmen in the days of New France. If art in Canada lacked adequate support almost down to the relatively fat times of to-day, how much less could it thrive in the era of the explorer and the coureur-de-bois? There has been virtually a century of painting in Canada, from the days of Paul Kane, Cornelius Krieghoff and George T. Berthon, to the present, and half way down that century occurred in 1880 the organization of the Royal Canadian Academy, the jubilee of whose launching is being observed in this year 1930.

  • NIAGARA ROCKS, BUILDING STONE, HISTORY and WINE
    NIAGARA ROCKS, BUILDING STONE, HISTORY and WINE Gerard V. Middleton, Nick Eyles, Nina Chapple, and Robert Watson American Geophysical Union and Geological Association of Canada Field Trip A3: Guidebook May 23, 2009 Cover: The Battle of Queenston Heights, 13 October, 1812 (Library and Archives Canada, C-000276). The cover engraving made in 1836, is based on a sketch by James Dennis (1796-1855) who was the senior British officer of the small force at Queenston when the Americans first landed. The war of 1812 between Great Britain and the United States offers several examples of the effects of geology and landscape on military strategy in Southern Ontario. In short, Canada’s survival hinged on keeping high ground in the face of invading American forces. The mouth of the Niagara Gorge was of strategic value during the war to both the British and Americans as it was the start of overland portages from the Niagara River southwards around Niagara Falls to Lake Erie. Whoever controlled this part of the Niagara River could dictate events along the entire Niagara Peninsula. With Britain distracted by the war against Napoleon in Europe, the Americans thought they could take Canada by a series of cross-border strikes aimed at Montreal, Kingston and the Niagara River. At Queenston Heights, the Niagara Escarpment is about 100 m high and looks north over the flat floor of glacial Lake Iroquois. To the east it commands a fine view over the Niagara Gorge and river. Queenston is a small community perched just below the crest of the escarpment on a small bench created by the outcrop of the Whirlpool Sandstone.

  • Architectural Records Collection
    Description and Finding Aid ARCHITECTURAL RECORDS COLLECTION Including records from: acc. 1986-0098 acc. 1988-0059 acc. 2005-0032 Prepared by James Roussain, 2011-2012 Architectural Records Collection page 2 of 307 Introduction The construction history of the University of Trinity College as seen through its collection of architectural drawings, spans two centuries of different styles and contents, from the hand-painted watercolour drawings done on heavy paper of William Hay 1857 to the machine-generated drawings of more recent years. Among the plans listed in this finding aid are those related both directly to the physical plant of Trinity College, and those related indirectly by reason of their associational history including St. Hilda's College, the Gerald Larkin Academic Building, George Ignatieff Theatre, Munk Centre and other records as listed; all records and materials are listed chronologically within their organization series. Requests for information from researchers which previously went unanswered for lack of access to architectural plans can now be responded to with greater alacrity and with more attention given to identification by means of detailed descriptions. As several incomplete efforts have been made to comprehensively organize these materials, several accession numbers have come to be associated with these records. Where possible, all numbers associated with a record have been included in their description. Records are listed as follows: Records from the Offices of the Bursar and Building Manager, University of Trinity College, 988 0059/ A1857-1858 (01) 01 …where 988-0059 is the accession number, / A1857-1858 is the series number as defined by the record's date of creation or use, (01) is the section number, and 01 being the item's position within the section.

What is a genealogist to do when he/she reads statements in popular and respected . publications crediting another person with an achievement that we know proudly belongs to a relative? What if such statements are often written as absolute fact, yet are contradictory to our own family history? What if every time one picks up a book or reads a magazine article about the subject in question, that glaring "mistake" is found? One might try to ignore the inaccuracies. But most family historians would do as much as possible to correct them. I was caught in just such a problem in the spring and summer of 1986. In my case the inaccuracy was a fully understandable case of mistaken identity. But because it appeared in print again and again, I grew increasingly frustrated.
