Reenacting the Past: Living History INTERPRETING A PAST Presenting Gender History at Living History sites in Ontario By Pamela Kirsten Peacock A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen‟s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September 2011 © Pamela Kirsten Peacock, September 2011 Abstract Drawing upon close observation of site practices, interviews, and visitor surveys, this project analyses the programming offered at historic sites, highlighting the aspects of history that are omitted or treated superficially. The case studies conducted at Fort Henry, Upper Canada Village, and Fort William demonstrate that women‟s and gender histories continue to be minimized, stereotyped, and segregated. Each site selectively communicates information about the past. The commemoration and preservation of the past and the tourism industry have been intricately connected in Ontario throughout the twentieth century. Historic sites have been directed by the dual goals of educating the public about a national past and of attracting visitors and revenues. As Ian McKay and Robin Bates have articulated, the resulting tourism/history is a narrative less interested in verity than in saleability. Though the management of historic sites have not jettisoned the concept of accuracy, broadening the picture of the past presented to be „more accurate‟ by addressing such issues as courtship, birth control, or marital separation is often not as high a priority as increasing visitor numbers. The costs, financial and otherwise, of making changes to the traditional fare at historic sites are considered undesirable. Sites are unprepared to invest in changes to collections or programming unless it can be shown that the investment will pay dividends. The perpetuation of traditional political and economic narratives continues also because of the perception that this appeals to and pleases visitors. Sites aim to give visitors what they want and to entertain them in order to secure repeat patronage. Women‟s history and gender history are considered, somewhat contradictorily, too controversial and too mundane to garner the interest of visitors. Despite being trusted by a majority of Canadians as trustworthy i sources of history, historic sites are letting down their constituents by omitting significant aspects and concerns of daily life in their narratives. ii Acknowledgements There are many people who facilitated this project, and my sanity, along the way. I am pleased to have this opportunity to recognize their contributions. I am indebted to my co-supervisors, Dr. Karen Dubinsky and Dr. Caroline- Isabelle Caron for their guidance, motivation, insights, and editorial comments. Thank you for improving my scholarship with your critical eyes, thought provoking questions, and general genius. I would also like to thank Dr. Jane Errington for her support and critical commentary along the long road of this PhD. Your potluck dinners always provided the perfect amount of inspiration and relaxation to reenergize me during this process. I would also like to extend my thanks to my committee members, Dr. Cecilia Morgan, Dr. Brian Osborne, Dr. Ian Mckay, and Dr. Jane Errington. Their critical reading of my work helped me to clarify concepts and arguments. Any lingering mistakes are, of course, my responsibility alone. This project could not have been completed without the gracious cooperation of the historic sites under study. My deepest thanks are extended to the seniors of the Fort Henry Guard of 2008, Crystal Legros of Fort William, and Bruce Henbest of Upper Canada Village for facilitating my visits and helping to arrange interviews. I am also extremely grateful to all members of management and staff at each site who bore with my incessant eavesdropping on their interpretation and my persistent questions. Without the gift of your knowledge and experience this dissertation could not have been completed. I would also like to thank the archivists at the National Library and Archives of Canada and the Archives of Ontario who helped facilitate my research. Special recognition should be made to the members of the Information and Privacy unit at the iii Archives of Ontario who tirelessly looked over metres of onion-skin documents to ensure I could access all the files I needed. I am extremely grateful to have been recognized with the Joseph Leslie Engler Dissertation Fellowship in Canadian History, The Arthur and Evelyn Lower Graduate Fellowship in Canadian History, the R.S. McLaughlin Fellowship, and the Dean‟s Travel Grant for Doctoral Field Research through Queen‟s University. Without this generous funding the extent of my research and time at each historic site would have been extremely limited. Thank you to all of the graduate students of the history department 2006-2011 for inspiring me with your own research, for challenging me to think differently about my project, and for providing „good-times‟ when sitting at a desk for another minute was hard to contemplate. Shout outs to Marisha Caswell, Kelly Bennett, Danyal Martin, Caralee Daigle, Carolyn Harris, Claire Cookson-Hills, Maria Moncur, Steph Jowett, and Samantha Sandassie, for listening to me gripe about marking, for Girls-Night-Out dinners, and for making me laugh. My appreciation to Steph, Caralee, Kyle Franz, Matt Trudgen, and Rankin Sherling for making sure history students got involved in intramurals. GHSAers – thanks for putting up with me and for keeping all of us disparate years/fields in contact! To my fellow Teaching Fellows for History 124 and 122 thanks for helping me become a better (I hope!) teacher. Finally, my gratitude to Eleanor Belshaw-Hauff, Madelaine Morrison, and Andrea Lee for hosting me during my travels to Toronto and Ottawa – thanks ladies! Over the past five years far too many people have heard me describe, and complain, about my research. My gratitude to the Sunset Girls for always listening. I am so lucky to have friends like you! Much love always to Julia (Duinker) White, Lauren iv (Reid) Anderson, Kelly (O‟Neill) Patrick, Christie (Malecki) Martin, and Lisa (McLelland) Emke, and to your families. I am also thankful to call Meagan (Irvine) Troop and Mary (Harwood) MacDonald long-time friends – thanks for your support throughout the years. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all the ladies at pick-up basketball and to all who embraced their inner grad student/geriatric on the Old Biddies intramural team. You provided a MUCH needed escape from academics, helped me improve my fitness and my game, saved my sanity with dinners at the QP and the Grad Club, and have become, I‟m sure, lifelong friends. Hugs to Titia, Jennifer, Ryley, Jordan, Christine, Amy, Mandy, Vi, Elaine, Erin, Andrea, Arlinda, Erica, Larissa, Gen, Emma, Amanda, Emily, Lauren, Hilary, Chloe, Ruby, Laura, Rebecca, Vicki, Heather, Ange, Jess, and Johanna. Old Biddies on three… No acknowledgement would be complete without recognizing the enormous debt of gratitude I owe my family. Thank you to my mom and dad, Diane and Gary, for instilling me with the values of hard-work and perseverance, for teaching me to value knowledge and debate, and for providing me a most comfortable home during this long process. Thank you for reading my chapters even though you‟d already heard me talk about them for months. Thank you Mom and Dad, and also to my siblings, Heather and Alex, and to my grandparents, two of whom did not get to watch me undertake this process, for unconditional support. I hope this work makes you proud of me. v Table of Contents Abstract……………………………………………………………………………………i Acknowledgements………………………………………………………………………iii Table of Contents…………………………………………………………………………vi List of Illustrations……………………………………………………………………….vii Abbreviations……………………………………………………………………………..ix Chapter One: Introduction. “Shrines to the Good Old Days”: Searching for a Past at Historic Sites…….....................1 Chapter Two.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • A Free and Independent Press Has Become One of the Hallmarks of a Healthy Democracy
    PROVINCIAL UNITY AMIDST A DIMINISHING PRESS GALLERY by LESLIE DE MEULLES 2009-2010 INTERN THE ONTARIO LEGISLATURE INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME (OLIP) 1303A WHITNEY BLOCK QUEEN'S PARK TORONTO, ONTARIO M7A 1A1 EMAIL: [email protected] PAPER PRESENTED AT THE 2010 ANNUAL MEETING OF THE CANADIAN POLITICAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION, MONTREAL,QUÉBEC, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2nd, 2010. A free and independent press has become one of the hallmarks of a healthy democracy. Press galleries and bureaus have similarly become a cornerstone of the democratic process insofar as they independently report on, and keep politicians accountable. However, the Ontario Legislature Press Gallery membership has been declining over the past 20 years. This decline may very well be an indicator that this „valued‟ democratic institution is in dire straits. This paper attempts to explain why the Press Gallery is shrinking and how decreasing number have led to a lack of political coverage to Northern Ontario, and is leading Northern constituents to rely heavily on their MPPs as a source of political news. This is problematic, as MPP communication can hardly be expected to be non-partisan, objective reporting on the events at Queen‟s Park. That people in Northern Ontario rely on partisan political messaging as a substitute for political news shows how the media as an institution is failing the North, as relying on these forms of communication is akin to relying on propaganda. Due to a dearth of literature on the Ontario Legislature, the research for this paper relied on interviews conducted with Northern MPPs, and current and former Press Gallery members1. The paper exists in three parts.

  • Community Museum Governance: the (Re)Definition of Sectoral Representation and Policy Instruments in Ontario
    Community Museum Governance: The (Re)Definition of Sectoral Representation and Policy Instruments in Ontario Robin Nelson A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Public Administration School of Political Studies Faculty of Social Science University of Ottawa © Robin Nelson, Ottawa, Canada, 2021 ii Nelson Abstract Research on museum policy often focuses on provincial or national museums, which are typically government agencies. These institutions are directly accountable to government and have an articulated role in an explicit federal or provincial museum policy. However, most Canadian museums are community museums – that is, nonprofit or municipal museums that collect and interpret locally relevant materials and have public programs targeting the community in which they are based. Community museums’ relationships with government(s) differ due to their legal structures (municipal, nonprofit), relatively small budgets, and limited number of staff. Within museum policy, community museums are distinct because they lack a direct relationship with a provincial or national government. Yet, in Canada, all levels of government are involved in their governance through regulatory and supportive activities. In particular, provincial governments have included community museums in museum policies, which tend to focus on professionalization, standards of operation, and simplifying access to resources. In other words, policies targeting community museums often subject them to norms, aiming to establish parameters and best practices for their operations. These actions seek to define and shape community museums, which raises the question: how are these policies (re)created, (re)assembled, and coordinated? Using archival research and interviews, this thesis documents community museum governance in Ontario, where provincial museum advisors and associations emerged as museum professionals embedded in policy development and implementation in the 1950s.
