How are you today, my reading friend? Are you in need of a leg up? If so, search no more for yours truly has what you need. Behold, one small step for a woman, many small steps for womankind! Sorry, sometimes I get carried away – or upward. Being somewhat lazy by nature, yes, yes, it’s true, I thought best to tell part of our story by quoting the brief text that accompanied the photo above.

Hudson Strait Expedition Personnel of Base "C" - October 1927

The Hudson Strait Expedition: Looking beyond the prism of provenance

In honour of Archives Awareness Week (April 2-8), Ingenium is highlighting a few gems taken from our digital collection. In archives and museums, history is often told through the prism of provenance. This could mean that the history of the artifact is told from the point of view of the manufacturer that made the object, or by the company that used the object. Similarly in archives, we most often present records from the point of view of their creator or the last person to use them before they

Digital Archives: The iron ore crisis in Bathurst, New Brunswick

Kristy von Moos

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

In honour of Archives Awareness Week (April 2-8), Ingenium is highlighting a few gems taken from our digital collection. The captions displayed here are the original text. During the Second World War, iron was a vital commodity for ship building, as well as rails, guns, and munitions manufacturing. Raw ore was shipped from Little Bell Island, Newfoundland, among other mines, to Sydney, Nova Scotia, where it was made into steel. In September 1942, two ships waiting to be filled with ore were sunk

Ingenium – Canada's…

Greetings, gentle reader and welcome to the wonderful world of aviation and space. Yours truly is celebrating, or not, a birthday this month. Given this event of galactic proportion, I decided to abandon my usual anniversarial approach, if there is such an expression, for this month only of course, in order to pick a topic that tickled my funny bone. The photo above caught my attention a few years ago. I actually found it in two separate magazines, namely the June 1935 issue of the British

Avro Arrow

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

The Avro CF-105 Arrow was the first and, so far, the only Canadian-designed supersonic aircraft. The Avro CF-105 Arrow was Canada’s first and, so far, only Canadian-designed supersonic aircraft. Developed during the Cold War in the 1950s, the Arrow was designed to intercept Soviet bombers in Canada’s Arctic airspace as they attacked North America. Avro Canada developed the massive interceptor and a wholly-new jet engine, the Iroquois. The Arrow first flew on March 25, 1958, and was among the

Curtiss JN-4 Aircraft

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

The Curtiss JN-4 “Canuck” first earned its reputation as a trainer aircraft during the First World War and later won praise as a jack-of-all trades in postwar aviation. The two-seater Canuck was an improved version of an earlier design and was closely related to the American-made Curtiss JN-4 Jenny. Taking its first flight in 1917, the Canuck — known for its stability — became the standard flight trainer for the British and American air forces during the war. Many Canadians, who later served in

The Alaska Highway: Building Canadian Infrastructure Out of Wartime Necessity

Canadian War Museum

The construction of the Alaska Highway was a major feat of American and Canadian engineering that connected Dawson Creek, British Columbia and Delta Junction, Alaska. Built in just eight months, between March and November 1942, the highway was meant to strengthen the strategic position of the United States and Canada following Japan’s entry into the Second World War. This major transportation link connected Alaska and the Yukon with the South, and opened new locations to resource extraction

Second World War Nutrition Poster: Canadian War Museum 19750317-073

Canada’s Food Guide: Wartime Eating for a Healthier Postwar Population

Canadian War Museum

The first Canadian food guide, The Official Food Rules, was conceived in 1942 as a means of helping consumers navigate the difficulties of wartime rationing. If followed, the guide would ensure high nutritional standards for the men and women contributing to the war effort, decrease malnutrition associated with poverty, and improve the general health of Canadians. Scientists, medical doctors, academics and social welfare workers began working together in 1938 and eventually recommended the food

Sir Max Aitken (Lord Beaverbrook): Documenting Canada’s Wartime Experience

Canadian War Museum

Despite the enormous Canadian First World War effort, the government took a largely passive attitude to documenting the war. Luckily for Canada, and future generations, Sir Max Aitken (later Lord Beaverbrook) and Dominion Archivist Arthur Doughty successfully lobbied for better documentation and preservation of wartime activities. Aitken took it upon himself to establish the Canadian War Records Office (CWRO) in January 1916, with his own funds. The CWRO had two functions: to publicize the

How a Waterloo start-up plans to rid the world of landmines

Richard Yim grew up in a part of Cambodia where children had to be careful playing outside. While that may seem like a general note you learn growing up in Canada, Yim’s experience carries a lot more weight since Cambodia is littered with about 10 million landmines. Yim even had the horrific experience of witnessing his aunt die from stepping on a mine when he was just eight-years-old. When he moved to Canada with his family he was amazed to see kids playing outside like there was nothing to
