SUMMARY:Museum of Lennox and Addington: 6 Strings Screening and Exhibit Opening
DESCRIPTION:On June 10th\, 1800\, a bitter dispute between rival factions within the Mohawk Village on the Bay of Quinte escalated into violence and the bloody murder of a father and his son\, with others critically wounded. Six Strings is the compelling\, revealing and true account of how the Mohawk people conducted their own system of justice long before the Indian Act. \nThis event represents a moment in time before Indigenous people were obliged to abide by the British colonial court system. Six Strings highlights the testimonies of witnesses to the murders offering a unique glimpse into the lives of the Mohawk people and their complex interactions with the changing world around them. As the investigation unfolds what is revealed is a sophisticated system of traditional justice and a people that embraced reconciliation and forgiveness with the custom of condolence and commitment to move forward. \nThe accompanying 7 minute film will be extended into a 50 min documentary once funding is secured. The future feature film will draw on the talents of Indigenous artists\, historians\, musicians\, and actors to create a vivid and remarkable view of Mohawk life\, the relationship between the British government and the Mohawk Nation\, and the complex circumstances that culminated in the fateful events of June10th\, 1800. \nIn addition to the screening of 6 Strings\, Callie Hill\, Executive Director of Tsi Tyónnheht Onkwawén:na\, who will be presenting the film and exhibit.

SUMMARY:Museum of Lennox and Addington (Virtual): The Rural Diary Archive: Transcribing Daily Life in Eastern Ontario
DESCRIPTION:The Rural Diary Archive website (https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/) brings together the work of over 200 diarists (1820-1960) across Ontario. It encourages users to learn about the authors\, easily search fully transcribed diaries in the collection and help transcribe handwritten ones. This presentation explores several Eastern Ontario diaries in the collection\, the nature of diary writing\, and the ways one can use diaries for your own research. Dr. Catherine Wilson will share some examples from her forthcoming book Being Neighbours: Cooperative Work and Rural Culture\, 1830-1960. \nCatharine’s interest in rural and family history began while growing up in Grenville County where her Loyalist and Irish ancestors settled. To celebrate 1967\, her parents built a log cabin in their basement. Inspired by the family heirlooms displayed there\, she’s been fascinated with the history of daily life ever since. Much of her scholarship has included genealogical research and is recognized for employing under-utilized sources such as diaries and innovative methods that revise historical interpretations. Her early work focused on Irish immigration\, pioneer settlement and farm tenancy. Her current SSHRC-funded project explores reciprocal work bees (barn raising\, quilting\, and threshing bees\, etc.) using Ontario farm diaries. She explores the creation\, maintenance and definition of neighborhood and its practical workings. She teaches Canadian History\, Social History\, and Rural History to undergraduates and graduates at the University of Guelph. She is also the Redelmeier Professor in Rural History\, Coordinator of the speakers’ series The Rural History Roundtable\, Founder and Director of the Rural Diary Archive website\, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.

SUMMARY:Museum of Lennox and Addington: Heroines of the Storm: Film Screening with Dale Morrisey
DESCRIPTION:On November 9th at 7pm\, join us at the Museum of Lennox & Addington for a live screening of episode four\, The War at Home\, from Dale Morrisey’s documentary series Heroines in the Storm. \nThe live screening will be followed by a talk and question period by filmmaker Dale Morrisey. \nEpisode four focuses on the war at home and how it impacted women as well as how women played a crucial role on the home front. During World War Two women faced new challenges but also exciting new opportunities as men marched off to war. Increasingly women were called on to fill roles left empty by men who joined the war effort. Women such as the Gibbard Girls helped as factories shifted to wartime production\, and so did the bomb girls who helped with munitions. Women helped farmers facing labour shortages to grow and then harvest food that helped feed civilians at home and soldiers abroad. On the baseball diamond women stepped up to plate in an experimental professional women’s baseball league. The film makes use of first person interviews\, historians\, along with archival images and footage – some of the images and footage have rarely been seen by the public. \nHeroines in the Storm is inspired by the book Extraordinary Women Extraordinary Times by Sherry Pringle. \nRegister here: https://museumoflanda.as.me/?appointmentType=27197669

SUMMARY:Little Wanderers: A Literary History of the British Home Children in Canada
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives \nBetween 1863 and 1939 as many as 118\,000 children came to Canada under a British program of child migration. These “Home Children” journeyed to Canada from the UK in search of a better life. Following the advice and help of Victorian social reformers\, these little migrants hoped to leave behind a life of poverty and/or class discrimination limiting their opportunities and happiness in the Old World. In Canada\, the children were often sent to work on farms or in domestic service. They would have a profound role in shaping the future of their adopted countries. Many went on to have their own farms or businesses; some dedicated themselves to defense of their country in war; a majority stayed in Canada and had families of their own. Indeed\, some estimate that as many as one in ten Ontarians are descendant from Home Children. Sadly\, this history is not always happy; many of the children were abused\, neglected\, and exploited by appalling working conditions and poor wages. \nBut why was migration viewed as a reasonable solution to poverty in the first place\, and why was Canada the selected destination for these displaced youth? Our presentation on the “Little Wanderers” seeks to answer these questions by looking at some of the influential literature from the period. We will discuss works by prominent social reformers documenting the dire situation of the working-class and poor people in the Victorian city. We will also consider how the idea of child migration might have been normalized by Victorian children’s adventure fiction – with their tales celebrating colonialism as a means to self-reform and social belonging. Our talk on the “Little Wanderers” will conclude with a selection of texts specifically depicting the experiences and reception of the Home Children in Canada\, including the legacy of these young migrants in their adoptive country. \nAbout the Presenter: \nBrooke Cameron is Associate Professor of English at Queen’s University in Kingston\, Ontario. She is the author of Critical Alliances: Economics and Feminism in English Women’s Writing\, 1880-1914 (University of Toronto Press\, 2020)\, as well as multiple peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on gender and economic themes in Victorian literature. Her current research on the British Home Children in Canada is supported by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council grant (SSHRC). She and her graduate student\, Alicia Alves\, recently developed a virtual archive of the library history surrounding the Home Children (also titled\, “Little Wanderers”). Cameron is at work writing a book project on Victorian social reformers and child migrants. \nAlicia Alves is a PhD Candidate at Queen’s University in Kingston\, Ontario. Her work focuses on Victorian and Edwardian children’s literature\, but she is also interested in children’s literature more broadly. She has published an article and a book chapter on this topic\, and is currently completing a dissertation on “A Child’s Best Friend: Human-Animal Hybridity in Late-Victorian and Edwardian Children’s Literature.” Alves was co-creator with Dr. Brooke Cameron of a SSHRC-funded virtual library display focusing on children’s literature and the Home Children for the W. D. Jordan Special Collections at Queen’s University Library.

SUMMARY:Revisiting Colonial Dinnerware with Sequoia Miller
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives \nA collection of ceramic tableware on view in Toronto’s Gardiner Museum depicts idealized scenes of nineteenth-century Canadian life. Manufactured in England\, these objects and others like them participated in the colonial project by imagining and asserting both national and colonial identities. In this virtual program\, Sequoia Miller\, Chief Curator at the Gardiner\, will discuss how seemingly decorative objects such as these engage complex questions around colonialism\, political economy\, and cultural authority. Dr. Miller will also consider the role of museums in offering new and critical interpretive strategies for thinking through problematic historical objects. \nAbout the Presenter: \nSequoia Miller is a historian\, curator\, and studio potter. He is the Chief Curator at the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art\, Toronto. Miller holds a PhD in the History of Art from Yale University; an MA from the Bard Graduate Center for Decorative Arts\, Design History\, and Material Culture; and a BA in Russian from Brandeis University. Recent curatorial projects include RAW and Ai Weiwei: Unbroken at the Gardiner and The Ceramic Presence in Modern Art at the Yale University Art Gallery. Before re-entering academia\, Miller was a full-time studio potter based in the Pacific Northwest.

SUMMARY:History of Millinery in Canada – A Show and Talk with Norma Shephard
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives \nJoin Mobile Millinery Museum director Norma Shephard for a discussion of 20th Century Canadian Millinery Designers. Among other discoveries\, learn which designer is considered by experts to have been the greatest in Canadian history and why; which designer had a reputation for making any woman look beautiful; and which Canadian millinery designers are excelling at their craft today. \nAbout the Presenter: \nNorma Shephard is the founder and director of the Mobile Millinery Museum\, a unique travelling museum whose “working hats” have raised funds for diverse causes; from homeless teens in rural Ontario\, to cancer research and diagnostic equipment\, to a women’s and children’s shelter in Israel. Shephard’s use of hats\, shoes\, and bridal gowns as cultural story blocks to prompt the telling of tales\, myths\, and legends transforms audience members into folklore informants\, eager to share their own reminiscences. \nRecognized as an historian and authority on vintage costume\, Shephard has appeared on Canada A.M.\, CBC Morning\, CBC Fresh Air\, CBC Ontario Today\, CH Morning Live\, Breakfast Television\, Canadian Living Television\, This Morning Live\, Main Street\, CKCO\, The Source\, and Neighbour to Neighbour and has been featured in numerous print media. Shephard is the subject of a biography by Patricia Boyle\, entitled The Hat Lady. “What Martha has done for the domestic arts\, Norma is doing for museum curatorship\,” says Boyle. “She has taken material history out of the archives and into the community\, presenting it in new and exciting ways. When I realized that Norma was being recognized internationally I knew it was time for a book.” \nIn 1985 she earned a Canadian Achiever’s Award for entrepreneurship and since founding her museum in 1999\, has penned and photographed Accessorizing the Bride; Vintage Wedding Finery Through the Decades (Schiffer Publishing)\, 1000 Hats (Schiffer Publishing)\, In Step With Fashion: 200 Years of Shoe Styles (Schiffer Publishing)\, Lingerie; Two Centuries of Luscious Design (Schiffer Publishing) and Dear Harry; The Firsthand Account of a World War I Infantryman. Col. Gordon Atkinson\, retired\, said of Dear Harry\, “…fascinating and evocative of war … a tome of obvious labour and love. Tim Cook\, First World War Historian at the Canadian War Museum and author of Shock Troops said\, “As a student of Canadian history your book was a thrilling opportunity to gain insight into a little taught era in our heritage.” \nAs an editor and writing coach\, Shephard has assisted others in achieving their dream of being published. She writes regularly on the subject of history for Canadian and American magazines\, and her latest book for Schiffer Publishing\, Darlings of Dress; Children’s Costume 1860-1920 is available now from Schiffer Books and amazon.com.

SUMMARY:Nature in Photography: Bill Bickle
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives \nJoin local wildlife photographer Bill Bickle as he shares with you stories of local species that he has photographed. Marveling in the beauty of nature\, Bill will tour us through Eastern Ontario by showing off the majestic creatures he has been able to photograph in their natural habitats. Following the presentation\, Bill will be available for a live question period. \nAbout the Presenter: \nAn interest in nature was formed early for Bill. Photography as a passion came later. Now both come together to produce beautiful images as he captures birds\, animals and flowers in their natural surroundings. It is the love of nature’s flora and fauna that stimulates Bill’s extensive research into habitat and characteristics of his subjects. Armed with this knowledge he then commands patience most would not endure\, waiting for the ultimate posture\, lighting and\, sometimes surprising interaction that results in some of his most outstanding photographs. \nBill’s ability to anticipate action before it happens allows him to capture images that\, for many\, would be halfway out of the frame. The crisp clarity of his work allows those who only witness nature from a distance to realize the beauty of his specimens up close and personally. Perhaps even encouraging us to take a closer look ourselves next time we encounter nature’s gifts. \nIt is this combination of creativity and camaraderie with nature that provides a calm and rewarding harbor for Bill. And it is his dedication in search of engaging images that will continue to provide us all with a view of nature we may not otherwise experience. \nBill has been featured and won several National and International Photo Competitions\, including National Geographic International Competition\, Museum of Nature in Ottawa\, Canadian Geographic Magazine & 8 times been awarded Canadian Wildlife Photography of the Year since 2008.

SUMMARY:Folk Art Collecting: David Field
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives \nJoin local folk art collector David Field\, and take a wandering trip around\, thinking about folk art – what does not apply; how does one define it; what does one appreciate when one views and acquires folk art. There are some categories and regional differences that are worth thinking about\, and lastly – a love affair with a few pieces that I have had over the years. \nAbout the Presenter: \nFolk art – I buy it\, I research it\, sell it\, I collect it and I live with it. For over 40 years I have been interested in folk art in all its forms. I grew up professionally as an engineer but fed my esthetic side as a collector and dealer in folk art. I acquired my first piece in the Middle East in the 1970’s – a painted window shutter. On return to Canada\, and purchasing an 1850’s house in Eastern Ontario\, I worked at learning about and acquiring folk art pieces that spoke to me. I have written for the former Upper Canadian on folk artists. My folk art collection has been on display at the Lennox & Addington Museum and I continue to deal in folk art and Canadiana as Croydon House Antiques.

SUMMARY:Jane E. MacNamara: Life on the Farm\, Your Ancestor‘s Place in Ontario Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives \nWe often think of farming as a traditional occupation—something that hasn’t really changed much. But that is not and was never the case. Farmers had to react and adapt to changing conditions like climate\, technology\, economics\, new markets and new competitors. Some farmers did more than adapt. They set out to be the most productive by innovating with new techniques and processes\, products\, and marketing. Farm journals and business records survive in many archives. Farmers may have had help and encouragement along the way from agricultural associations\, community groups\, government agencies\, or private patrons. Digitization of many of the records of these pro-agriculture organizations has made them a viable source to help us understand the changes that were happening around our farming ancestors—and whether they were leading the way or following the pack. \nAbout the Presenter: \nJane E. MacNamara\, Toronto\, is the author of Inheritance in Ontario: Wills and other Records for Family Historians (OGS/Dundurn) and writes about genealogy at wherethestorytakesme.ca. A longtime member of the Ontario Genealogical Society\, Jane lectures about research methodology\, Ontario\, and English family history to genealogical and historical groups throughout southern Ontario. She teaches courses for Toronto Branch OGS\, most notably hands-on courses about Ontario records.

SUMMARY:What Gravestones Can Tell You About Your Ancestors: A Genealogists Guide
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives \nGenealogists know information retrieved from gravestones has a practical application to identify the deceased. However\, gravestones\, as a research tool\, can offer up more information about your ancestors when interpreted correctly. Besides functioning as a memorial to the deceased\, gravestones provide insight into nineteenth and twentieth century life. The visual imagery of the gravestone motifs functions as a decorative element\, which reaffirm the position of the deceased within the community and celebrate relationships. On an artistic level\, gravestones offer insights into popular culture. Motifs were specifically chosen by the carver or family members to communicate messages about the departed and their significance in the community. \nIn an era when illiteracy was common\, carvers relied on the symbols to convey messages of mortality and spirituality to those unable to read. Themes relating to life\, death and the hope for everlasting life are just some of the messages portrayed on the stones. Discover the clues and information that gravestones can reveal about your ancestors and the world in which they lived. \nAbout the Presenter: \nLaura Suchan\, Executive Director at the Oshawa Museum\, will be presenting on her work with gravestones in Ontario for this special Zoom meeting. Laura has been the Executive Director for the last 25 years and has spoken publicly at provincial\, national and international conferences.
