  • 100 the Folklore of Le Détroit/Le Folklore Du
    Museum Anthropology Review 1(2) Fall 2007 The Folklore of le Détroit/Le Folklore du Détroit. An online exhibition of the Virtual Museum of Canada.1 Reviewed by Hilary Joy Virtanen Online exhibitions provide unique advantages for curator and audience alike, including the creation of venues for materials and information ill-suited for physical presentation, the availability of the exhibition to a wider audience, and the potential for instant access to the materials. These three features are found in many of the online exhibitions that I have viewed, and all are well-illustrated in the bilingual exhibition The Folklore of Le Détroit/ Le Folklore du Détroit. This exhibition, presented through the Virtual Museum of Canada by the Windsor Public Library and Windsor’s Community Museum (Ontario), explores oral traditions of francophone communities along the Detroit River, a 30-mile ribbon of water between Ontario and Michigan that separates the cities of Windsor and Detroit. This isolated linguistic community, first established in 1701, has maintained and shaped many traditions, from both France and francophone regions in Canada. While the focus of the exhibition rests largely on Canadian communities, retaining a stronger French heritage due to historical circumstances, Michigan’s Detroit francophonie also provide rich examples. The exhibition homepage identifies the target audience as schoolchildren around grade five. The exhibition and the lesson plan materials provided within, however, are aimed more widely toward primary and secondary students. The content is presented in both French and English, with separate sites for each. The design is largely geared toward children, with charming graphics and numerous clickable sound and animation files to illustrate the materials.

Collection includes drawings by Brit Andresen, Peter O'Gorman, Michael Keniger and University of Queensland architectural students. Date range 1966 - 2011 Biography Brit Andresen was born in 1945 in Trondheim, Norway. During her childhood, Brit travelled to Australia on several occasions while her father worked as an engineer on large hydroelectric projects from 1951 to 1963. She completed her Bachelor of Architecture in 1969 from Trondheim University, Norway. In 1977 Andresen moved to Australia to work in what was intended to be a temporary full-time position with the University of Queensland. She went on to be the first female appointed in the Department of Architecture. It was here she met Peter O’Gorman. They married in 1980 and set up the practice Andresen O’Gorman Architects. Their work has been awarded and internationally published, which includes a special edition of UME 22 (2011). O’Gorman died in 2001. In 2002 Andresen was the first female recipient of the RAIA Gold Medal. Andresen’s concern in the 1980s about the rapidly disappearing Australian architectural heritage led to two projects – one with Michael Keniger and a number of students entitled “Main Street: Queensland country towns” and the other “Anglican Churches in the Diocese of Brisbane. The latter project was also to become the topic of Andresen’s PhD dissertation. After 33 years at University of Queensland, Andresen retired in in 2010 and was appointed Emeritus Professor in the School of Architecture.

LockdownNew guest alesTake every-Aways month.available A touch of Irish charm at the heart of the village. 2 Rowledge Review From the Vicarage This year, our community’s act of remembrance will, by necessity, look somewhat different (see elsewhere in this issue for more details). But it is important that we do not confuse the process by which we remember, with the actual act of remembrance itself. Too often in life, it seems that if we are not very careful, we can get too focused on ‘process’ and end up overlooking the very meaning of what we set out to do. So this year, whilst we will not be able to hold our traditional Service of Remembrance in the Church (social distancing rules have sadly limited us to only 18 available seats), we will not walk solemnly behind the cross to the War Memorial and we will not be able to gather for the traditional two-minute silence, we can still stop at 11am wherever we are, to remember the sacrifice of so many in the cause of freedom. Jesus of Nazareth spoke of the importance of remembering, but he was more interested in the need to remember, rather than the method used. In fact, he kept it very simple. This is how Luke’s gospel records Jesus’ last meal with his friends: “He took some bread and gave thanks to God for it.

  • The Meecheegander Missives
    The Meecheegander Missives: Information on Michigan and Detroit to Prepare Information and Referral Professionals for the 2011 AIRS Conference in the ‘D’ June 5 – 8, 2011 The Meecheegander Missives.doc i The original posts to the AIRS Networker listserve were made daily from April 10, 2011 to June 5, 2011. During June, July, and August, the posts were collected into a single document, corrected when necessary, reformatted, garnished with illustrations pirated from the Internet, and indexed. Final edits were made August 10, 2011. The Meecheegander Missives.doc ii Introduction When it was announced that the 2011 Annual Training and Education Conference of the Alliance of Information and Referral Systems (AIRS) was coming to Michigan, those of us on the board of the local affiliate, MI-AIRS, knew we had our work cut out for us. With the help of Sharon Galler (who has coordinated AIRS Conferences from coast to coast), we divvied up assignments and set to work. I volunteered to write an FAQ for the Conference (a copy of which can be found at the back of this document) to be posted on the MI-AIRS Web site. And I also impetuously volunteered to contribute daily postings promoting the conference to the AIRS Networker , the listserv that’s followed by most people in the profession of community information and referral. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I enjoy writing, and how much work could it take—15 or 20 minutes a day or so? WRONG. It wound up taking a lot more time and effort than I had anticipated.
