Public Archives Public Archives CANADA Report for the Year 1951 REPORT OF THE PUBLIC ARCHIVES REPORT OF THE PUBLIC ARCHIVES FOR THE YEAR 1951 WM. KAYE LAMB Dominion Archivist OTTAWA EDMOND CLOUTIER, C.M.G., O.A., D.S.P. PRINTER TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY CONTROLLER OF STATIONERY 1952 Price, 86 cents 56660— If OTTAWA, April 25, 1952. To the Honourable F. GORDON BRADLEY, Secretary of State, Ottawa. Sir,—I have the honour to submit herewith the Annual Report of the Public Archives for the year 1951. Many notable additions were made to the collections during the year. Details of these acquisitions, and of the activities of the various Divisions, are given in the pages that follow. Respectfully submitted, WM. KAYE LAMB, Dominion Archivist. Report of The Public Archives for the Year 1951 First place on any list of outstanding events of the year in the Public Archives would naturally be given to the visit of Their Royal Highnesses the Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh. Other happenings of special interest were the acquisition of a notable group of post-Confederation political papers; the arrival of the first microfilm copies of docu­ ments in the archives of the Hudson's Bay Company; publication of the first of a new series of preliminary inventories by the Manuscript Division; expansion of the map collection; good progress on new map catalogues; and a thorough overhaul of the Museum. Laurier House, bequeathed to the nation by the late Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, was placed under the control of the Dominion Archivist in June, and opened to the public in August. THE ROYAL VISIT Their Royal Highnesses came to the Archives on the after­ noon of October 10th, immediately after their visit to the Parliament Buildings. They were accompanied by the Hon. F. Gordon Bradley, Secretary of State, and Mrs. Bradley. Among the exhibits that appeared to be of special interest to Princess Elizabeth were the series of portraits of the founders of leading women's organizations in Canada; a collection of autographs of famous figures of the French regime, including Frontenac, LaSalle, Maisonneuve, Bigot and others; the first notes issued by the Bank of Canada, which include a $20. note bearing the portrait of Her Royal Highness as a child; and Wolfe's last letter to his mother, which was presented to the Archives by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth in 1939, shortly after the Royal Visit of that year. The Duke of Edinburgh noticed particularly the fine model of one of Cartier's ships, mounted on a fragment of one of the original vessels; plans and documents relating to men-of-war built on Lake Ontario during the armament race at the time of the war of 1812-15; the famous Duberger model of the city of Quebec; and Orpen's striking portrait of Sir Robert Borden. PUBLIC ARCHIVES By the time the party had signed the visitors' book and left for Government House, a much longer period had elapsed than had been arranged for in the official programme. MANUSCRIPT DIVISION Post-Confederation Political Papers A special effort has been made in recent years to build up the department's collection of private political papers relating to the post-Confederation period. In 1951 the Archives had the good fortune to receive substantial and highly important addi­ tions to this collection. These included the papers of two for­ mer prime ministers. The Laurier Papers, which had been divided for many years, were all brought together in the Archives early in 1951. It will be recalled that in 1950 an agreement was reached, thanks to the generosity of Mrs. O. D. Skelton and Principal W. A. Mackintosh of Queen's University, under the terms of which the portion of the Laurier Papers on deposit at Queen's was to be added to the larger part, already in the Archives. As soon as the shipment from Queen's was received, two trained members of the staff were assigned to the task of arranging and cataloguing the combined collection, which consists of well over a hundred thousand documents. The work has progressed steadily, and may be completed by the late autumn of 1952. When it is finished, the papers will be microfilmed and a positive copy of the film placed in Queen's University Library. The Meighen Papers were a second outstanding acquisition of the year. Presented by the Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen, Prime Minister of Canada in 1920-21 and again in 1926, this extensive collection consists of the papers accumulated by Mr. Meighen during his long and distinguished career in public life. In all, they fill more than forty filing drawers. The cardinal importance of the office of prime minister, and the virtual impossibility of drawing any valid distinction between "official" and "personal" documents in the files of a leading political figure, make this gift of the utmost value from the archival point of view. Use of the Meighen Papers for purposes oi general research will be restricted until a biography of Mr. Meighen, now in preparation, is completed. Thereafter they will be available to responsible students in accordance with the usual Archives regulations. REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1951 Eight other gifts added materially to the post-Confederation sources in the Archives. Brief descriptions of these follow: Rowell Papers. The extensive and valuable papers of the late Hon. Newton W. Rowell, who, in the course of his notable career, was successively Leader of the Opposition in the Ontario Legislature, a member of • the Cabinet in the Union Government of 1917-1920, Chief Justice of Ontario, and first chairman of the Rowell-Sirois Royal Commission on Dominion-Pro­ vincial Relations (1938). The papers were the gift of Mrs. Rowell, and requests for access to them will be referred to her for approval. Perley Papers. Though not numerous, these papers are of great interest because of the light they throw on certain persons and events of the period of the First World War. The Rt. Hon. Sir George Perley was then High Commissioner for Canada in London, and the papers consist mostly of his correspondence with Sir Robert Borden, then Prime Minister. The collection was presented by Sir George Perley's daughter and son-in- law, Mr. and Mrs. Perley-Robertson. Graham Papers. These relate to the public career of the late Rt. Hon. George P. Graham, of Brockville. They will be a valuable source for anyone studying the history and policy of Liberal administrations and the Liberal Party. A member of the Ross govern­ ment in 1904-1905, Mr. Graham was later elected to the House of Commons. He was a member of the Laurier cabinet from 1907 to 1911, and of Mr. King's administration from 1921 to 1926. He was subse­ quently appointed to the Senate. The papers were presented by Senator Graham's daughter, Mrs. Find- lay Maclean. Malcolm Papers. The late Hon. James Malcolm, of Kincardine, was Minister of Trade and Commerce in the King administration of 1926-1930. This interest­ ing collection of his correspondence, memoranda, etc., was presented by his widow. Casgrain Papers. The late Hon. Pierre F. Casgrain was Speaker of the House of Commons from 1936 to 1940, and Secretary of State in 1940-1941. The papers 56660—2 8 PUBLIC ARCHIVES preserved relate mostly to the administration of intern­ ment camps, the handling of enemy property, and policy with regard to press censorship, in the first years of World War II. They were the gift of Madame Casgrain, who has requested that no papers less than 25 years old should be made available to the public without special permission. Cameron Papers. Mr. A. Kirke Cameron, of Montreal, has generously agreed to present to the Archives the papers and correspondence in his possession that relate to public affairs. Several instalments of the papers had been received by the end of the year. Belcourt-Sis sons Correspondence. These letters, written during-the decade 1920-1930, were addressed to Prof. C. B. Sissons, of Victoria University, Toronto, by the late Senator N. A. Belcourt, of Ottawa. They relate to the separate schools question and the teaching of French in Ontario. The letters were presented by Professor Sissons, to whom requests for access to them will be referred for approval. Jacobs Papers. The late S. W. Jacobs, of Montreal, was not only a prominent lawyer and a leading member of the Canadian Jewish community: he was for many years a most distinguished member of the House of Commons. His papers relating to public affairs have been presented to the Archives by Mrs. Jacobs. In addition to the above, the papers of the late Hon. R. J. Manion and the late Hon. E. N. Rhodes have been sent to the Archives for safekeeping, on a deposit basis. It is anticipated that they will be formally transferred to the department in due course. Other Manuscripts Received Items of great interest were included among the earlier material added to the Archives in the course of the year. Notes on some of these follow: LSvis Papers. When the late Abbe Casgrain saw these famous papers in France in 1888, they consisted of eleven volumes. Nine of these were acquired by the Archives in 1950; all that was then known about the remaining two volumes was that they had been sold at REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1951 9 auction in New York in 1947. Fortunately, the dealer who had purchased them learned that the rest of the papers had reached the Archives, and at once communi­ cated with the department. The two volumes were subsequently purchased and added to the Archives collection.

  • The Military Reputation of Major-General James Wolfe
    THE MILITARY REPUTATION OF MAJOR-GENERAL JAMES WOLFE Presidential Address Delivered by E. R. Adair 1936 This is an age when heroes are viewed with a somewhat sceptical eye, when it is felt that mere blind veneration for the reputations of the past should not turn aside the chilly wind of historical criticism, that the legends devised to charm worshippers must be tested by the acid of facts. So far General Wolfe has survived any serious attacks upon his reputation, very largely because he was fortunate enough to die in the moment of victory, a victory moreover that came like a blessed thunderbolt to an England that thought that all hope of it had departed, for, as Horace Walpole aptly says, Wolfe's final despatch couched "in the most artful terms that could be framed" had "left the nation uncertain whether he meant to prepare an excuse for desisting, or to claim the melancholy merit of having sacrificed himself without a prospect of success."(1) But if his reputation has so far survived practically untarnished, it is not because he has been wholly exempt from all the dangers to which dead heroes are exposed. On the one hand he has been rendered at times a little ridiculous, by the praises of his more eulogistic biographers, of whom Beckles Willson is one of the worst,(2) and who have found it necessary to discover even in his earlier years those splendid qualities which they thought it proper for a Hero to possess; that there was no particular authority to justify their views seemed quite immaterial.

  • The German Presence in Quebec City
    The German Presence in the Quebec City Region Researched and compiled by Jacques Gagné [email protected] Last updated: 2016-01-05 1 Map of Quebec City and surrounding area 2 Ursuline Convent and Chapel Quebec City Saint Michael Church Sillery Holy Trinity Church Quebec City 3 The German Presence in the Quebec City Region Researched and compiled by Jacques Gagné [email protected] Last updated: 2016-01-05 Centuries after Hans Bernhard settled in New France, 100,000 people in Québec claim German origins. They may be Francophone descendants of mercenaries in the 18th century or Anglophone immigrants of the 1950s. In the 1980s, after a long period of official downplaying of the presence of the Germans, some German-Canadian leaders fought for recognition of the German contribution to a multicultural Canada. Many German-Quebecers took over this discourse, but some refused the idea of a German ‘founding people’ and insisted on the distinct role of their Francophone society. Furthermore, even in Canada, post-war immigrants had to come to terms with the German past; the victimisation often characterized the German- Canadian press, since readers many, of whom lived in Québec often were expellees of the German ‘eastern territories’ and the few exiles often chose to stay invisible. Thus for its citizens of German heritage, Québec became the place of encounter of several competing identity discourses, whether it was about the role of Francophones in Canadian history or about the role of Germans.

  • Book Reviews Kathleen Winter. Lost in September. Toronto: Alfred A
    Book Reviews Kathleen Winter. Lost in September. Toronto: Alfred A. Knopf Canada, 2017. ISBN 978-0-345-81012-0 Kathleen Winter’s debut novel Annabel, about a gender fluid young person coming of age in Labrador and St. John’s, met with widespread critical acclaim and my own personal admiration, so I was very keen to pick up her next fictional offering, Lost in September. While sharing a focus with its predecessor on the fluidity or ambiguity of identity, Lost is quite a departure from the earlier novel. Winter tells the story of a young man in Quebec in September 2017 who believes himself to be General James Wolfe, the historical figure who fought against Montcalm on the Plains of Abraham. The central premise is Jimmy’s attempt to regain the lost time when Wolfe was to be on leave, but the calendars changed that year from the Julian to the Gregorian, thus eliminating 11 days of September and consequently Wolfe’s leave. It is a compelling premise, demonstrating both the constructedness of time, which we often take for an invariable fact, and the mutability of identity. Winter crafts a modern-day/historical quest narrative, in that the young present-day Wolfe meanders through first Montreal and then Quebec City, encountering various tragic or quite literally co- lourful individuals who guide him on his journey. In addition to the homeless Sophie, with whom he shares a tent on Mont Royal, Jimmy meets historian Genevieve Waugh, who is researching for a book on James Wolfe and who is struck by the young man’s similarity to the historical figure.

  • The Battle of Québec, 1759
    The Battle of Québec, 1759 Concept(s) Primary Source Evidence, Cause and Consequence Prepared for Grade(s) 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 Province NB By Ernest Wasson Time Period(s) 1700-1800 Time allotment 4 x 60 minutes per class period Brief Description of the Task In this unit students interpret, value and interact with primary source evidence as they try and answer why the English won the Battle of Québec in 1759. The attachments include a range of primary and secondary sources: letters, memoirs, historical accounts, paintings, and maps. Objectives for Historical Thinking: Students will be able to to analyze primary sources by considering the source and seeking corroboration; use several primary sources to construct an explanation of a historical event. Required Knowledge & Skills It would be helpful if students were to be given a brief overview of the Seven Years War and introduced to basic military strategy, weaponry, etc. of the era. They might also benefit from an understanding of issues relating to warfare (high ground, advantage to the defender, etc.). The lessons do not assume an understanding of primary and secondary sources, but this too would further student ability to answer the inquiry question. Detailed Instructions 1. As a springboard activity to develop curiosity and model the interpretation of evidence, show students Benjamin West’s The Death of Wolfe (1770) in ATT 2. Explain to students they will be looking at a turning point in Canadian history, the Battle of Québec on September 13, 1759, that led to Britain taking control of Canada from the French.

  • The Fight for Canada
    CLASH OF EMPIRES: THE BRITISH, FRENCH & INDIAN WAR 1754 - 1763 CHAPTER 6 The Fight for Canada )M 1755 To 1760, British, French, and American Indians engaged in some of rgest and most dramatic military operations of the American war. Campaigns ic Canada and the St. Lawrence Valley involved joint operations between and forces, as well as large-scale European-style sieges employing heavy dl tll l y llLL tlplX exenginleering earthworKs. I ie contrast between tnese operations and f the campaigns in the American interior reveal both the remarkable military power that 18th-century empires could project far from Europe and also the limits of that power. The dominance of regular European troops and fleets in these campaigns reinforced the contempt shared by most Europeans toward native and colonial fighters. This perspective shaped profoundly the fate of Britain's American empire after the fall of Canada. DEFENDING NEW FRANCE French settlement in Acadia (now western Nova Scotia, eastern New Brunswick, and northeastern Maine) began in the early 1600s. France ceded Acadian territory to the British in 1713, but by 1750, more than 13,000 French-speaking inhabitants were living along the region's extensive coastline. The boundaries were still in dispute when conflict broke out in the Ohio Country in 1754. Most Acadians living in British territory had remained neutral during previous conflicts, but in 1755, fear of insurgency and desire for the Acadians' lands and fishing grounds led New England and British forces to ruthlessly expel the inhabitants. This ethnic displacement scattered Acadians across the British colonies and the larger Atlantic world.

  • Diagnostic Et Éléments De Vision 2022
    Diagnostic et éléments de vision 2022 Document présenté aux citoyens de Sainte-Pétronille 9 Juin 2012 Par : Conseil municipal de Sainte-Pétronille Avant-propos Au cours des derniers mois, différents événements ont amené les élus à se questionner sur les orientations souhaitées pour notre communauté dans les prochaines décennies. Tout d’abord, la décision rendue en octobre 2011 par la Commission de Protection du Territoire Agricole (CPTAQ) quant aux Ilots déstructurés ajoute des emplacements pour des usages autres qu’agricoles dans certains secteurs de la zone verte de la municipalité. Ensuite, les exigences de la nouvelle Loi sur l’Aménagement et l’Urbanisme ainsi que la volonté du Conseil des maires de la MRC d’harmoniser les règlementations d’urbanisme des 6 municipalités de l’Ile d’Orléans nous invitent à faire le point sur nos grandes orientations. Dans ce contexte, l’exercice de révision de la Vision municipale devient nécessaire. À cette fin, nous respecterons la procédure proposée par le MAMROT – LA VISION STRATÉGIQUE du développement culturel, économique, environnemental et social - Septembre 2005 La démarche comprendra quatre étapes : 1 - Rédaction du diagnostic sans commentaires (Maire et DG) ; 2 - Correction du diagnostic et ajout de commentaires (Élus et Membres de comités) ; 3 - Présentation du diagnostic et consultation populaire (Citoyens de la municipalité) ; 4 - Rédaction de la nouvelle vision municipale. Pour être crédible, la nouvelle vision doit reposer sur une évaluation honnête et critique de la situation actuelle et un bon repérage des défis à venir. Il nous faut répondre aux quatre questions fondamentales suivantes : Où en sommes-nous présentement ? Où allons-nous ? Où voulons-nous aller ? Comment s’y rendre ? Les deux premières questions peuvent être répondues à l’intérieur du diagnostic reflétant la situation actuelle de notre territoire.
