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:Family History Series Part 1 – Kyla Ubbink
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives \nIf a picture says a thousand words\, then a family photograph tells a thousand tales; and ones we want to pass on and keep for the future. Knowing the photographic processes used to create an image helps identify the era the picture was taken in\, and guides us in how to go about handling\, using and preserving that image. From Daguerrotypes\, and Tin types\, to Colodial-Chloride and Gelatin\, and almost every photographic technique and emulsion type in between; you will learn the basics of how these photographs were created\, what time periods they were popular in\, and how to identify and date them. \nAbout the Presenter: \nKyla Ubbink began her career through an internship with the Library and Archive Canada’s conservation laboratories in 2000 and subsequent contract positions through to 2005.

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.
