SUMMARY:Kingston Historical Society Presents Dr. Tabitha Renaud: "Without Words: The Communication Barrier between Indigenous Peoples and the Earliest European Explorers in North America"
DESCRIPTION:For hundreds of years historians have glossed over how First Peoples and the earliest European explorers communicated with one another during their first meetings. How did they convey information back and forth? How effective was this process? This talk returns to seminal episodes of “first encounter” to closely examine how people in reality communicated and how our broadening understanding of this earliest interaction between the settler society and our First Nations can change traditional historical interpretations and why it matters so vitally today. \nDr. Tabitha Renaud completed her PhD in history at Queen’s University under the supervision of Dr. Jane Errington and specialized in studying early encounters between Indigenous peoples and European explorers in the Americas. Tabitha serves as the Managing Director and chair of the Murney Tower Museum Committee as well as a Councillor of the Kingston Historical Society. She has also volunteered with the Kingston Association of Museums\, Galleries and Historic Sites (KAM)\, Kingston Regional Heritage Fair\, Beyond Classrooms Kingston\, Smiths Falls Heritage house Museum Advisory Board and the Lower Burial Ground Restoration Society. \nTo register\, and to receive all the details of how to connect\, please email Paul van Nest at pvannest@cogeco.ca.

SUMMARY:Kingston Historical Society Presents Marc Seguin: "The Lighthouses of Kingston: Guiding Ships through the Graveyard of Lake Ontario\, 1828 to 1914"
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the 19th century\, Kingston was the most important shipping port on the Great Lakes and ships sailing to or from Lake Ontario had to navigate through some of the world’s most dangerous waters\, an area that became known as “the graveyard of Lake Ontario.” Over the course of 85 years\, more than 45 lighthouses were built on the Canadian side of eastern Lake Ontario. These aids to navigation contributed immeasurably to the prosperity of Kingston and to the economic development of Canada. This talk is drawn from the speaker’s book For Want of a Lighthouse: Guiding Ships Through the Graveyard of Lake Ontario. \nMarc Seguin brings his lifelong interest in history together with a passion for Canada’s built heritage to this talk on the early lighthouses of Kingston and eastern Lake Ontario. Marc holds a degree in history from the University of Western Ontario and is a founding member of the lighthouse preservation organization “Save Our Lighthouses.” He has authored two books focusing on Lake Ontario: For Want of a Lighthouse: Guiding Ships through the Graveyard of Lake Ontario & The Cruise of The Breeze: The Journal and Life of a Victorian Soldier in Canada. Marc lives on the shores of Wellers Bay in Prince Edward County with his wife and two sons.

SUMMARY:Kingston Historical Society Presents Victoria Cosby: "Kingston through Her Eyes: Harriett Dobbs Cartwright and Her Adopted Home"
DESCRIPTION:Harriett Dobbs Cartwright emigrated from Dublin. Ireland to Upper Canada upon her marriage to Anglican minister Robert David Cartwright in 1832. Her voluminous correspondence chronicles her active engagement in the local affairs of her new ‘home’ in the colony of Upper Canada: as a wife\, as a mother\, and as a social activist. Cartwright played an incredibly important role in Kingston’s upper class community. She volunteered in the Female Benevolent Society and Orphans’ and Widows’ Friend Society\, through which she contributed to the establishment of such major Kingston institutions as Kingston General Hospital\, St. George’s Anglican Church\, the Kingston Penitentiary\, and Rockwood Asylum for the Insane. Harriett Dobbs Cartwright’s contributions to the community have had a lasting impact on the city of Kingston as we know it today. \nVictoria Crosby is a fourth year doctoral student in the Queen’s History Department. Her research interests include nineteenth-century Canadian women\, the British World\, as well as gender and sexuality studies. She is currently working on a biography of Harriett Dobbs Cartwright. \nTo register\, and to receive all the details of how to connect\, please email Paul van Nest at pvannest@cogeco.ca.

SUMMARY:Kingston Historical Society Presents Dr. Tim Cook: "Forgetting\, Remembering and Remaking Canada's Second World War"
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, best-selling author Tim Cook will talk about his book\, The Fight for History\, and will discuss the strange way that Canada chose to ignore for decades its epic contributions during the Second World War. Despite 1.1 million Canadians who served in uniform\, and millions more who supported the total war effort from the home front\, Canada rapidly left the war behind\, publishing few histories\, building fewer monuments\, and advancing into the prosperous second half of the twentieth century\, Dr. Cook will talk about the neglect of our Second World War history until quite recently\, and highlight the key role of veterans in reclaiming this important legacy of service and sacrifice. \nDr. Cook is the acting director of historical research at the Canadian War Museum. He was the curator of the museum’s First World War permanent gallery and he has curated numerous temporary\, travelling and digital exhibitions. Cook is the author or editor of 13 books and they have won the C.P. Stacey Prize for Military History (twice)\, the Ottawa Book Prize (three times)\, the RBC Taylor Prize for Literary Non-Fiction\, and the L.W. Dafoe Book Prize (twice). In 2012\, Dr. Cook was awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for his contributions to Canadian history and in 2013 the Governor-General’s History Prize. He is a frequent commentator in the media\, a member of the Royal Society of Canada\, and a Member of the Order of Canada. \nTo register\, and to receive all the details of how to connect\, please email Paul van Nest at pvannest@cogeco.ca.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Kingston Historical Society March 2020 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Victoria Crosby: “Kingston Through Her Eyes: Harriet Dobbs Cartwright and Her Adopted Canadian Home.” \nHarriett Dobbs Cartwright emigrated from Dublin\, Ireland to Upper Canada upon her marriage to Anglican minister Robert David Cartwright in 1832. Her voluminous correspondence chronicles her active engagement in the local affairs of her new ‘home’ in the colony of Upper Canada: as a wife\, as a mother\, and as a social activist. Cartwright played an incredibly important role in Kingston’s upper class community. She volunteered in the Female Benevolent Society and Orphans’ and Widows’ Friend Society\, through which she contributed to the establishment of such major Kingston institutions as Kingston General Hospital\, St. George’s Anglican Church\, the Kingston Penitentiary\, and Rockwood Asylum for the Insane. Harriett Dobbs Cartwright’s contributions to the community have had a lasting impact on the city of Kingston as we know it today. \nVictoria Crosby is a third year doctoral student in the Queen’s History Department. Her research interests include nineteenth-century Canadian women\, the British World and gender and sexuality studies. She is currently working on a biography of Harriett Dobbs Cartwright.
