Hei, min lesevenn, hvordan går det? Det går bra. Takk for at du spør. Again, sorry for starting the second part of this article with three sentences in Norwegian. All right, let us begin. In late December 1912, in other words very soon after the miniature Cadillac mentioned in the first part of this article was presented to a blisteringly ecstatic Prince Olav, heir to the throne of Norway, the main representative of Cadillac Motor Car Company in the United Kingdom, Frederick Stanley “Fred”

Sorry, sorry, yours truly forgot that I was conversing with you in Norwegian. The topic of this edition of our wonderful blog / bulletin / thingee is an automobile. But not any type of automobile. Nay. A Cadillac. Yes, yes, a Cadillac. Only once in my long life have I had the opportunity of placing my curatorial posterior on the plush seat of a Cadillac

Re-examining Archival Research Following the COVID-19 Pandemic

University of Toronto

Re-The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a laundry list of consequences on everyday life; a list far too long to synthesize into one tidy blog post. Instead, I want to shine a light on the impact that the pandemic has had on archival research. For much of the last two years, physical archives have been closed to researchers. For example, the University of Toronto’s archival collections have been shuttered for in-person use, while their online collections and services have remained accessible

What Counts as History? Top-Down Versus Bottom-Up Agency

University of Toronto

Popular understandings of history often rest on the perceived achievements of “great men.” These retellings tend to structure their narratives around particularly prominent individuals or decisive political and cultural moments. Certainly, this approach can help to reveal the basic elements of an important historical episode – names, dates, and places, for example – but it tends to obscure the individual and collective efforts of people in their day-to-day life. Indeed, “Great man” methodology

Over the past few years, yours truly must admit that the relatively limited number of pontificating road transportation texts aimed in your general direction have dealt with microcars – or farm tractors. I would like to fire my broadsides in a slightly different direction today with a peroration on bicycles. Not any boring bicycle, mind you, nay. You undoubtedly expect something more, my sophisticated reading friend. I shall therefore enlighten you with a text on what appears to be the second

Buongiorne, amico lettore, buongiorno e benvenuti a questa seconda e ultima parte del nostro articolo su un uovo italiano su ruote, l’Iso Isetta. You will remember that this Italian microcar was mainly produced in West Germany. This being said (typed?), that country was not the only one where an assembly line was set up, which explains in part the several nicknames given to the Isetta: in West Germany, rollende Ei (rolling egg); in Argentina, ratón alemán (German mouse); in Brazil, bola de

Buongiorno, amico lettore, buongiorno. Come vanno le cose? […] Bene, bene. Vorrei discutere con voi di una storia molto interessante. La storia sfaccettato e multinazionale della microvetture Isetta. Iniziamo senza ulteriori indugi. Let us indeed start without further ado, in English if I you allow me. Once upon a time, in 1945, once the Second World War was over, there was an Italian manufacturer of electric heaters and refrigerators, as well as household appliances, Società Anonima Isothermos

Hej och hur mår ni? I am once again delighted to hear (read?) that you are doing well, my reading friend. The other chapter of the Volvo P1800 saga mentioned last week began in the United Kingdom in 1962. Err, actually, that chapter really began in 1928. It was indeed that year that a young British subject in search of for adventure completed his third novel, Meet the Tiger. Leslie Charteris, born Leslie Charles Bowyer-Yin, introduced therein the character who made him famous throughout the
