SUMMARY:PAMA Presentation - Railway History of George Laidlaw

He has an interest in family history and by good fortune has access to a trove of historical information and artifacts.

SUMMARY:La Société d'histoire de Toronto - Une histoire mondiale de la vanille
DESCRIPTION:Conférencier : Éric Jennings\, Professeur d’histoire\, Université de Toronto\n\n  \nC’est grâce à un jeune esclave féru de botanique que la vanille\, orchidée originaire d’Amérique centrale\, devint au XIXème siècle une des denrées par excellence de l’empire colonial français. Tout bascule de nouveau lorsqu’est découverte et popularisée la vanilline de synthèse.  Contrairement à d’autres denrées (coton\, caoutchouc\, café\, indigo\, cacao) la vanille a fait jusqu’ici l’objet de relativement peu de recherches à ce jour.  A la frontière entre l’histoire du goût\, des savoirs botaniques et de l’économie des marchés alimentaires\, cette présentation met en évidence un vaste transfert\, depuis le monde Atlantique (Mexique) à l’océan Indien\, et de la sphère hispanique à l’orbite coloniale française de l’époque.
