  • Visions of Canada: Photographs and History in a Museum, 1921-1967
    Visions of Canada: Photographs and History in a Museum, 1921-1967 Heather McNabb A Thesis In the Department of History Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada May 2015 © Heather McNabb 2015 ii iii ABSTRACT Visions of Canada: Photographs and History in a Museum, 1921-1967 Heather McNabb, PhD. Concordia University, 2015 This dissertation is an exploration of the changing role of photographs used in the dissemination of history by a twentieth-century Canadian history museum. Based on archival research, the study focuses on some of the changes that occurred in museum practice over four and a half decades at Montreal’s McCord Museum. The McCord was in many ways typical of other small history museums of its time, and this work illuminates some of the transformations undergone by other similar organizations in an era of professionalization of many fields, including those of academic and public history. Much has been written in recent scholarly literature on the subject of photographs and the past. Many of these works, however, have tended to examine the original context in which the photographic material was taken, as well as its initial use(s). Instead, this study takes as its starting point the way in which historic photographs were employed over time, after they had arrived within the space of the museum. Archival research for this dissertation suggests that photographs, initially considered useful primarily for reference purposes at the McCord Museum in the early twentieth century, gradually gained acceptance as historical objects to be exhibited in their own right, depicting specific moments from the past to visitors.

Although I alone am responsible for the errors, shortcom- ings and ultimate choices made. The text benefitted immensely from the generous criticism of colleagues and I wish to acknowledge in particular Shannon Fitzpatrick, Laura Madokoro, and David Meren and the institu- tional knowledge of Martha Crago, Fred Genesee, Hudson Meadwell, and Toby Morantz. I am indebted to Molly Titus as the model intelligent read- er, to Marieke de Roos for design assistance and the Student Society of McGill, the McGill Daily, the Manitoba Archives, McCord Museum, McGill and McGill University for their permission to reproduce images. Finally, I wish to recognize the history undergraduates who sparked this project with their undergraduate course research. I look forward to learning from them in their future work. Suzanne Morton 2019 Indigenous McGill The principle that it is impossible to move forward on Indigenous issues without being informed by the past, is central to current discussion on campus and in the wider community. In this vein, the Provost’s Task Force on Indigenous Studies and Indigenous Education (2017) has challenged us to conduct a critical self-study of “the historical relationship of McGill University with Indigenous communities and peoples.” This booklet is meant to represent a preliminary contribution, a placeholder while the larger university project awaits action. It starts with the premise: McGill’s history is Indigenous history, and the university’s campus has always been Indigenous space.
