Good day to you, my assiduous reading friend. Are you ready to drink from the fount of knowledge otherwise known as our blog / bulletin / thingee? Good for you. Let us continue our investigation of the bird impact research work done in Ottawa, Ontario, by the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). To do that, we will have to put on our seven decade boots, our nine decade boots actually, and travel back in time to the year 1930. The Engine Laboratory of the Division of Mechanical Engineering

Good day to you, my reading friend. If you have no objection, we will commemorate / celebrate the acquisition, in December 2012, ten years ago this month, of two very interesting devices by the wonderful Canada Aviation and Space Museum, in Ottawa, Ontario, more specifically two fascinating devices donated by a great Canadian institution, nay, a world famous Canadian institution. Our topic of today is not as light hearted as some of our past fare, but I respectively make no apologies for that

It is with humility tinged with awe that yours truly must admit that I did not expect to find a quantity of information allowing me to write such a long article on ranaculture. Allow me to cite an example. An order in council which came into effect in Ontario in May 1933 protected northern leopard frogs, bullfrogs and green frogs from all forms of hunting during the months of May and June. Only frogs from American states or Canadian provinces other than Ontario could be sold in that province

Do not close this webpage, my reader friend disturbed / alarmed by our topic for today! Yours truly realises that the breeding of frogs for the purpose of consuming their legs, in other words ranaculture, can be a rather off-putting subject. This being said (typed?), it is a topic which fits very well within the mandate of the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, in Ottawa, Ontario, a brother / sister museal institution of the terrifically good Canada Aviation and Space Museum, also located in

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

Hello, hello! How are you, my reading friend? Are we ready to plunge into the eternal silence of the infinite spaces which frightened the French theologian / physicist / philosopher / moralist / mathematician / inventor Blaise Pascal (1623-62)? Wunderbar! Actually, did you know that Pascal designed the first calculating machine? Indeed, he more or less directly manufactured 20 or so arithmetic machines / pascaline calculators / pascalines between 1645 and 1654, but I digress. Would you believe

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
