ARCHIVES and SPECIAL COLLECTIONS QUEEN ELIZABETH II LIBRARY MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY, ST ARCHIVES and SPECIAL COLLECTIONS QUEEN ELIZABETH II LIBRARY MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY, ST. JOHN'S, NL Gard, Peter, 1949-. COLL-146 Website: Archives and Special Collections Author: White, Linda Date: 1990 Scope and Content: Peter Gard first deposited his journalistic papers with the Archives and Special Collections on December 14, 1989. These papers were generated during the 1980s and reflect the author's career as a contributing writer on predominantly Newfoundland subjects to various newspapers and magazines. The Collection consists of a variety of research notes, research material, drafts, and essays which provided background information for the articles written for these publications as well as originals and copies of the articles themselves. Through this Collection a researcher can discover information on a multitude of issues, as well as trace the varied career of an eclectic writer. Custodial History: Peter Gard deposited his papers in the Archives and Special Collections on December 14, 1989. Restrictions: There are no restrictions on the use of the materials in this Collection but users should be aware that copyright regulations may apply to some parts of the Collection and should act accordingly. Biography or History: Peter Anthony Gard was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 1949 the son of Michael Gard and Inge (Schloss) Gard. He has two sisters, Michele and Barbara. In 1960, the family moved to British Columbia and lived in various suburbs of Vancouver before settling in White Rock in 1963. Gard attended several Catholic schools and in 1967 graduated from Semiahmoo Senior Secondary, a public school in White Rock. He was class valedictorian and a member of that year's province-winning team on the CBC television program, Reach for the Top. In 1972, Gard completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in history at the University of British Columbia. On graduation Gard moved to Victoria, British Columbia where he worked designing toys for developmentally impaired children. After this he moved to Ottawa where he was employed as a junior statistician with the Ministry of State for Science and Technology. In 1975, he returned to British Columbia and began a Master of Arts degree in social history intending to analyze 18th century French comedy. However, Gard did not complete the program and instead chose to move to Newfoundland in 1977 with his companion, Penny Houlden. Later, in 1977, Gard returned to British Columbia in hopes of finishing his thesis but abandoned the idea and returned to Newfoundland again. Gard's initial employment in Newfoundland was documenting "door surrounds" of houses in Newfoundland, a job funded through a Canada Council Explorations Grant. This collection numbered over 1000 and was subsequently acquired by the Folklore Archive of Memorial University of Newfoundland. Gard spent the next two years in the restaurant business. He worked for seven months at 290 Restaurant after which he started his own small catering and restaurant business, "Duckworth Dinner". In 1982, Gard worked briefly for Penny Houlden as a museum consultant. This was followed with a position as writer researcher on J.R. Smallwood's Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador. In 1983, Gard began his present career of freelance writing with contributions to Newfoundland Lifestyles and Atlantic Business Review. By 1985 he was a regular contributor to Atlantic Insight, Arts Atlantic, Vanguard, the Newfoundland Herald and Maclean's. By the end of 1985, Gard had left Maclean's and worked briefly for the Financial Post before going with the newly created St. John's newspaper, the Sunday Express. He held this position until 1987 when he decided to return to freelance writing with a concentration in the fields of arts and culture. In 1988, he became a regular visual arts reviewer for the CBC radio program, Weekend A.M., and by 1989 had achieved notoriety with a weekly column in the Sunday Express in which he reviewed local restaurants with Marlene Creates, his sardonic "Companion". In 1990, his freelance writing also included a video review column and a bi-weekly CBC cooking commentary. Gard's other interests and activities included writing a popular hiking guide, Trails of the Avalon, in 1989 with Bridget Neame, and a lengthy essay for the 40th anniversary retrospective of the art of Helen Parsons Shepherd and Reginald Shepherd in the same year. He curated an exotic art exhibition for the Eastern Edge Gallery and was active in founding the Writers' Alliance of Newfoundland and Labrador, of which he served as the first chairperson from 1987 to 1988. He also won first prize for poetry in the 1990 provincial Arts and Letters Competition. On a national level he held the seat for freelance writers on the board of ACTRA, a position he was active in creating. In 1987, Gard moved his residence from St. John's to Petty Harbour. He has taken an active part in community life there, editing two issues of the Petty Harbour-Maddox Cove Anti-Amalgamator, a community action newsletter devoted to saving Petty Harbour-Maddox Cove from amalgamation with St. John's. Gard continues to live and write in Petty Harbour. Arrangement: When Peter Gard's papers arrived at the Archives, they were contained in three cardboard boxes. They had been organized by Gard into categories representing each newspaper and periodical for which he wrote. This filing system has been maintained wherever possible. 1. Atlantic Insight 2.

  • 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.

Falkingham had been a captain in the Royal Navy since 1713, and already had served as a commodore on the Newfoundland station.1 In mid-May 1732 the Admiralty requested and re- ceived copies of Falkingham’s Commission and Instructions, including the traditional “Heads of Inquiry,” a detailed list of questions on the state of the fishery.2 Focusing primarily on the cod economy, the queries also covered a wide range of demographic and social aspects of life on the island, particularly during the summer.

  • The French, English and a Fish: How They Transformed the Island of Newfoundland, 1696-1713 by Jacquelyn Irene-Rose George
    The French, English and a Fish: How They Transformed the Island of Newfoundland, 1696-1713 by Jacquelyn Irene-Rose George A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Approved April 2016 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee Susan Gray, Chair Victoria Thompson Kent Wright ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2016 ABSTRACT Newfoundland is an island on the east coast of Canada that is mostly forgotten to the study of history. This paper looks in depth at the fighting between France and England between 1696 and 1713, which in Europe coincided with the Nine Years’ War and the War of the Spanish Succession. In 1696, fighting broke out on Newfoundland between England and France because of the Nine Years’ War. Pierre le Moyne d’Iberville, a French officer, commanded the attacks on over twenty English settlements. The attacks lasted less than a year. Attacks would happen again because of the War of the Spanish Succession. France and England would attack each other trying to gain control of the prized commodity of the island, the cod fish. This study looks at how French and English fighting on Newfoundland helped to change the landscape and shaped the way the history of the French and English on the island is portrayed today. Historians tend to look more at the modern history of the island such as: soldiers in World War I and World War II, when Newfoundland became a Canadian province, and the English history of the island. This study argues that, by studying French and English fighting on the island, we can better see the historical significance of Newfoundland.

  • 19 Century Newfoundland Outport Merchants the Jersey Room, Burin
    19th century Newfoundland outport merchants The Jersey Room, Burin, c. 1885, S.H. Parsons photo (GPA collection). submitted to Provincial Historic Commemorations Program Dept. Business, Tourism, Culture & Rural Development P.O. Box 8700 St. John's, NL A1E 1J3 submitted by Robert H. Cuff Historian/Writer Gerald Penney Associates Limited PO Box 428, St. John’s, NL A1C 5K4 10 November 2014 Executive Summary In their impact on Newfoundland and Labrador’s economic development, patterns of settlement, and community life, 19th century outport merchants made a significant historic contribution. Their secondary impact, on the Province’s political and cultural development, may be less obvious but was nonetheless vital. Each merchant had a demonstrable impact beyond his home community, in that each supplied nearby communities. Although a merchant’s commercial home sphere was typically in the headquarters bay or region, the majority of the outport merchants were also involved in both fishing and in supplying planters/ fishers in migratory or vessel-based fisheries elsewhere: the Labrador and French Shore fisheries; the seal hunt; and the western boat and Bank fisheries of the south coast. For the purposes of this review it was found helpful to draw a distinction between “resident outport merchants” who lived the full range of their adult lives in rural Newfoundland and the “merchant gentry” whose outport residency was an episode in their business and family life which was otherwise substantially spent in the Old Country or in St. John’s. The resident group may be more worthy of consideration for the Province’s commemoration program. Existing commemorations tend to favour the merchant gentry.
