Cet événement n’aurait pas pu se dérouler sans la contribution exemplaire des étudiants bénévoles ainsi que la participation financière des organismes suivants : Pointe-à-Callière, Musée d’archéologie et d‘histoire de Montréal, le ministère de la culture, des communications et de la condition féminine du Québec, l’institut culturel Avataq, Archéotec Inc., Arkeos, Ethnoscop, Patrimoine-Experts, et l’Université de Montréal. The organizing committee wishes to mention that this joint meeting of the CAA and the AAQ was proposed in the Fall of 2010 to celebrate the 50 year anniversary of the Department of Anthropology at the Université de Montréal and to reflect on the dynamism of archaeology over the last five decades. This event would not have been possible without the exemplary contribution of the student volunteers, as well as the financial participation of the following institutions: Pointe-à-Callière, Musée d’archéologie et d‘histoire de Montréal, le Ministère de la culture, des communications et de la condition féminine du Québec, l’Institut culturel Avataq, Archéotec Inc., Arkeos, Ethnoscop, Patrimoine-Experts, and the Université de Montréal.

    Schenectady County Historical Society Newsletter Vol. 63, No. 1, Winter 2019 | 518.374.0263 | schenectadyhistorical.org A Dotted Landscape: Piecing Together the History of Schenectady County's Forgotten Farms By Julia Walsh Schenectady County is in a state of revival. New events, businesses, initiatives and people have been coming to the city and surrounding communities to make their mark on one of the oldest settlements in New York State. As a native to the area, I see two sides to this; it is great to see a new swing of development, making Schenectady attractive to those who don’t already call it home. However, as developers seem to be changing the cityscape ever faster, it is interesting to note where nature has taken its course. As part of my 2018 internship with the SCHS, I explored several locations in rural Schenectady County abandoned by their former residents. For most of its history, Schenectady County’s economy was primarily agricultural. Farms dotted the landscape from Duanesburg to Princetown to Rotterdam. With the 20th century came a transition from farming to industry. Suburbs began to sprawl, bolstered by the growth of GE and the development of the automobile. The landscape and the culture of Schenectady County changed dramatically during the 1900s, as towns like Glenville became suburbs of city employees. Locals shifted their aspirations from self-sufficient or market-enterprising farms to a house in the GE plot and a college degree. The demographics of Duanesburg and Princetown changed as suburbanites moved in and farmers moved out. Today, many farms lay abandoned, their fields ever fallow.

  • Downtown Montreal: a Major Metropolitan Development Issue
    Downtown Montreal: A Major Metropolitan Development Issue Brief of the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal Concerning the Vocation of Downtown Montreal Commission du développement économique et du Centre des affaires September 2003 A brief description of the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal boasts some 7,000 members. Its primary mission is to represent the interests of the Greater Montreal business community and to play an active and responsible role in promoting the economic development of the urban agglomeration. Bolstered by its three specialized service branches (Info entreprises, the Electronic Commerce Institute and World Trade Centre Montréal) serving merchants and businesses of all sizes across Quebec, the Board of Trade is the largest private organization in Quebec dedicated to economic development. Introduction Strategic planning for downtown development: a critical issue for the economic development of metropolitan Montreal The Board of Trade is pleased to respond to the invitation of the Commission du développement économique et du Centre des affaires to share its thoughts and outlook on the development of Montreal’s Business district. Given that over the next few months the City will be working on a “strategic plan for bsiness district development,” the Board of Trade believes that holding a preliminary brainstorming session on the issues pertaining to this sector is very relevant indeed. In this vein, the Board of Trade is presenting in this brief its initial reflections, which it deems important for the future of Montreal’s core, i.e. both the downtown and the business district. That said, the Board of Trade would also like to underscore the tremendous importance it places on the need for a strategic development plan for Montreal’s core.

  • Schenectady County Historical Society
    Schenectady County Historical Society Newsletter Vol. 65, No. 1, 2021 | 518.374.0263 | schenectadyhistorical.org Schenectady's Relationship to Native America by Mike Diana, Education & Programs Manager An Introduction For many people, “American” history begins with European exploration of the continent. From there, the narrative invariably centers on the colonial perspective and, after 1776, the perspective of the United States. Consequently, the general public is generally uninformed about the Native American history that both predates the Pilgrims and persists to the present. And this article is by no means capable of addressing this broad historical issue. So let’s turn from this historical macrocosm to the microcosm of our own city, Schenectady. For the first century and a half of its existence, Schenectady shared a unique relationship with its neighbors to the west, a people known colloquially as “the Iroquois.” In my interactions with the public, I find most people misunderstand that relationship. Some visitors tend to imagine the Iroquois as a nebulous threat to the European settlers of Schenectady. Other younger visitors might think of the Iroquois as victims of the inexorable colonial and American conquest of the continent. Both conceptions are too simplistic. And so, in this article I will try my hand at describing the connection between the Iroquois and Schenectady. I’ll begin with a very basic introduction to who the Iroquois are. I’ll proceed to show how our city started as a small trading town, the vital point of contact between the Iroquois and the British colonial world. We’ll see how Schenectadians of the time were intimately familiar with the Iroquois and vice-versa.

  • Stories of Place: Urban Community and Contested Space in Montreal's Cabot Square
    Stories of Place: Urban Community and Contested Space in Montreal's Cabot Square Sara Breitkreutz A Thesis in The Department of Sociology and Anthropology Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (Anthropology) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada i ii ABSTRACT Stories of Place: Urban Community and Contested Space in Montreal's Cabot Square Sara Breitkreutz Cabot Square is a public space in west downtown Montreal. The Square has long been the site of controversy, as it is both a neighbourhood park and a gathering place for people experiencing various forms of homelessness and socio-economic marginalization. In 2008, the City of Montreal's Ville-Marie Borough released an urban planning document called the PPU Quartier des Grands Jardins (Arrondissement 2008), which included provisions to revitalize the Square, along with plans to build a set of condominiums across the street, carried out in 2012. The revitalization of the Square was initiated subsequently in 2014. Fieldwork was conducted between 2012 and 2014 in Cabot Square and the surrounding area in order to understand the ways in which the Square functions as a gathering place, and to learn from the experiences of people who spend time there, as well as the outreach workers and community organizers who support them. Theorizing space and place according to the work of Casey (1997), Massey (1994; 2005), and Ingold (2009; 2011), this thesis tells a story of Cabot Square as a gathering place with processual, relational, and political dimensions. Place is presented as an emergent human experience generated by paths of wayfaring and practices of relationality, and contested by divergent claims to boundaries and belonging.

  • The Failure of Loyalism in Albany County During The
    THE FAILURE OF LOYALISM IN ALBANY COUNTY DURING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION by Mark S. Connelly Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the History Program p -,-.J~AJe.. ~,c- /975 Date Dean of the Graduate School YOUNGSTCMN STATE UNIVERSITY June, 1975 ii ABSTRACT THE FAIWRE OF LOYALISM IN ALBANY COUNTY DURING THE AMERICAN REVOWTION Mark S. Connelly Master of Arts I Youngstown State University, 1975 In order to understand the failure of the Loyalist movement within Albany County, notice must be given first of all to the early history, the early nature of that county. Long before the Revolution, it clearly demonstrated a staunch anti-British spirit, first given impetus from its Dutch inhabitants and its economic conflict of interest with the British Em~ire. All of this may have proven insignificant, had the leadership of the county been supporters of the King in 1773, as they had been prior to 1768, but they were not. The Livingstons, the Van Renssalaers, and Philip Schuyler, by this time, ousted from power by the rival DeLancey faction, had tied their fortunes to the extra-legal committees and activities that characterized the period, moving with them toward the dissolution of British rule in the thirteen colonies. Unfortunately, a number of the eventual Loyalists were helping them alongbyalso sitting in on these various extra-legal bodies in the hope of acting as a moderate influence upon • them. By the time th_ey realized that this was an impossible task, they found themselves at the mercy of the very bodies in which they sat.

  • The Consauls
    The Consauls By Lottie and Homer Our mother, Ida Consaul, was born in a log cabin on the outskirts of Toledo. She was a descendant of a Spanish Huguenot by the name of Emmanuel Gonzales who moved to Holland and finally came to America in his own ship. According to the records in the State Department of Education Library in Albany, New York, he arrived near Albany in 1684. He married a woman who was a member of a large Dutch family and his children settled in Schenectady. The record shows that they fought against the Indians, barely escaping with their lives in the Schenectady Massacre. The Dutch spelled the name in various ways such as Consaul, Consaulus and Gunsaulus. Two streets in Schenectady are named after the Consaul family. The record reveals that Johannes Consaulus of "Nistigione" married Machtelt, daughter of Johannes Hemstraat in Albany on April 20, 1765. Their first son was Johannes, who was baptized in Schenectady on November 5, 1767. In due time he married Viney Manning and to this union four children were born. The eldest, John, whose birthday was September 27, 1793, was our great grandfather. He married Martha Waterbury (1799-1864) on July 7, 1817. They were the parents of ten children. William W our grandfather was born in Steuben, Oneida County, N.Y on September 30, 1818. The other children who lived beyond infancy were Joseph (1823-1841), Susan (b. Feb. 28, 1826) who married Watters Whitmore, Jason (1828 1910), Maria Lucinda (1831-1850), Amanda (b. Feb. 26, 1834) who married Alonzo Tinker, Savina (b.
