The Places of Bay Roberts
1 2 COVES, STREETS, FIELDS AND MORE: The Places of Bay Roberts Researched & Written by: Folklore Graduate Field School Class of 2017 Edited by: Katherine Harvey Oral History Roadshow Series #005 Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador Intangible Cultural Heritage Office St. John’s, NL, Canada Layout / design by Jessie Meyer 2018 3 INTRODUCTION The recollections in this booklet were recorded by students in Memorial University’s Folklore Department. For three weeks in September 2017, Memorial’s newest folklore graduate students arriving from Northern Ontario, all parts of the United States, Iran, and Israel, were transplanted to Bay Roberts to participate in a cultural documentation field school: a required course that takes place at the start of the first semester of the graduate program. The field school participants were warmly welcomed by local residents, and this booklet is both a “give back” to the community, as well as a product of what the students learned. The academic goals of the field school are for students to learn first-hand about cultural documentation: techniques of audio-recorded interviewing, ethnographic observation, writing fieldnotes, documentary photography, video-recording, organizing and archiving field data, analysing field data, and public presentation skills. In addition to skills and techniques, students learn to work in teams, to meet new people, and to recognize local traditions and culture— this is at the heart of folklore fieldwork. The warmth with which we were welcomed to Bay Roberts—from the very first day was a highlight. It was a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon, but students enjoyed the “Toutons and Tunes” walking tour, which ended in the Red Shed (a special place indeed!) with tea, toutons, scrunchions, crab legs, and traditional tunes—what a delicious introduction! Over the course of the next three weeks, students were invited into people’s homes, where they shared cups of tea, baked goods, 4 and stories. -

Cahiers-Papers 48-1 Final Proof.Indd
Yours Affectionately: Artists’ Books Inspired by Correspondence Shirley Greer* In the summer of 2009, I exhibited Yours Affectionately, a series of 15 artists’ books, at the Queen Elizabeth II Library, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St John’s. This exhibition represented the culmination of two years of study for a practice-based Masters Degree from the Creative and Performing Arts Department of the Waterford Institute of Technology in Waterford, Ireland. This degree was made possible through the co-operation of the Waterford Institute and Sir Wilfred Grenfell College (Memorial University of Newfoundland), which enabled me to complete my studies in Newfoundland. The textual component of each of my books came from a series of four letters written to my grandparents in the 1930s. The writer was a then-retired Methodist minister, Rev. W.H. Dotchon (1862–1951) of Brigus, Conception Bay. Dotchon was Yorkshire born and had come to Newfoundland in 1899 to enter the ministry. He retired to Brigus in 1926 and remained there until his death. My grandparents lived in the neighbouring town of Bay Roberts. Several photos in the family album show Dotchon writing or with a book in his hand. This is not surprising, since he was an avid reader and a poet. In 1910 he travelled by train from Newfoundland to Victoria, BC, to attend a Methodist conference. His poetic travelogue of this trip was hand bound posthumously in 1978 by Rev. R.N. Roswell under the title Flowing Grace (From Ocean to Ocean) and is available at the A.C. Hunter Library and at the Centre for Newfoundland Studies in St John’s. -

'A Large House on the Downs': Household Archaeology
‘A LARGE HOUSE ON THE DOWNS’: HOUSEHOLD ARCHAEOLOGY AND MIDDLE-CLASS GENTILITY IN EARLY 19TH-CENTURY FERRYLAND, NEWFOUNDLAND by © Duncan Williams A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Archaeology Memorial University of Newfoundland February 2019 St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador ii ABSTRACT This thesis uses a household-based archaeological approach to examine changing settlement patterns and lifeways associated with a period of crucial change on Newfoundland’s southern Avalon Peninsula – namely the first half of the 19th century. The period witnessed a significant increase in permanent residents (including a large influx of Irish Catholic immigrants), the downfall of the migratory fishery (and resulting shift to a family-based resident fishery), and radical political/governmental changes associated with increased colonial autonomy. As part of these developments, a new middle class emerged composed mainly of prosperous fishermen and individuals involved in local government. A micro-historical approach is used to analyze a single household assemblage in Ferryland, thus shedding light on the development of a resident ‘outport gentry’ and changing use of the landscape in this important rural centre. Though likely initially built by a member of Ferryland’s elite (Vice-Admiralty Judge William Carter), the major occupation of the structure, as seen archaeologically, appears to be represented by the tenancies of two upper middle-class families. Comparative analysis places this household and its social landscape in the broader community of Ferryland, as well as emergent upper middle-class society in North America. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis owes much to many individuals and organizations, and it will be difficult to properly acknowledge them all in the space of a couple pages. -
