Writing Safely on your Photographs<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One piece of advice that I always give to my researchers
at the Lambton County Archives is to identify the individuals in their
photographs. In your personal photograph collection, you may know the names of
all the aunts, uncles, and cousins, but unless you document this information,
that knowledge is lost to anyone else accessing your material. You should record
as much information as possible, including the names of the individuals in the
paper, the date the picture was taken, where the picture was taken, and if
applicable, the special occasion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There are established strategies in the archival
community for safely recording information on photographs. If you follow these
rules, you can minimize the impact of recording important information on your
photographs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">My preferred method is to not write on photographs at
all, but rather place them in an envelope or sleeve that contains the relevant
information. This way, you can label your photographs with the detailed
information that you need without physically inscribing on the photograph
itself. Through vendors such as Carr McLean, Brodart, and Gaylord, you can
purchase transparent photographic sleeves or acid-free envelopes that will
safely hold your photographs. By applying a label to the sleeve or writing on the
envelope, you can record your information and avoid marking the original
photograph. This is the best case scenario and a win-win for your priceless
photographs!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">There are reasonable options if you do want to inscribe
information directly on the photograph. For many older photographs, you can use
a soft lead pencil to record your information. Writing on the back of the
photograph, keep your letters small and neat to minimize the impact, and make
your markings lightly. Pencil can be erased, so by using pencil you are not
permanently altering the photograph.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For modern, glossy photographs, pencil often will not
stick or mark clearly on the back of the photographs, and it is not a good
option. There are many products on the market advertised as "photo safe
archival pens" that will write clearly on these types of photographs, but
I do not recommend ever permanently marking a photograph. In many cases, the
inks will smear, and sometimes bleed through to the front of the photograph.
Additionally, you cannot change the information after you have marked it down
in permanent ink, unless you want to scribble out what you wrote previously!
The Stabilo-All pencil is a good option that will write on the glossy
photographs but can be dry erased or wiped off of smooth surfaces. The
Stabilo-All pencils are similar to a pencil crayon, and you can find them for
purchase online. I have found that in some instances even the Stabilo-All
pencils will not write on glossy photographs, and in those cases I use the
method of putting the photograph in a sleeve or envelope and applying my
labeling to this protective cover.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The Lambton County Archives are home to a collection of 50,000
photo negatives from the <i>Sarnia Observer</i>
which depict local news<span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:Dana%20Thorne" datetime="2017-08-09T08:24"> </del></span>worthy events from the 1950's and 1960's. Every
summer, a post-secondary student is hired to work on digitizing this significant
collection. In 2017, we hired Journalism Major Julie Mutis to work with the
Sarnia Observer Negative Collection. While scanning negatives, Julie's
imagination was captured by a photograph of a young family arriving in Sarnia
in the late 1950's. Wanting to uncover more details about this family, Julie
took the initiative to make contact with the sisters from the picture. Silvia
and Marian were kind enough to travel to the Lambton County Archives and share
their experiences with Julie, sitting down to talk with her about their emigration to Canada and sharing about
their life here. Below is Julie's article, published here on the Lambton County
Archives blog as a Guest Blogger. Thank you, Julie!</div>

<br /><div class="MsoNormal">
This photo of the Haler family, Joseph, Maria and their two
daughters Silvia and Marian, appeared in the <i>Sarnia Observer</i> on July 25<sup>th</sup> 1957. An interview with
Joseph about the family's escape from communist Yugoslavia accompanied the
photograph. The family was happy to have finally arrived at their destination
but uncertain about what was in store for them here in Canada. Sixty years
later, Joseph and Maria's daughters Silvia Freer and Marian Strangway are able
to finish telling their family's story.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 1957 Slovenia was a part of Yugoslavia, a communist
country ruled by Joseph Tito. In the 1957 interview, Mr. Haler spoke about Tito
saying he only maintained control of the country through a strong military and
police presence. Though Silvia and Marian were very young when they lived in
Slovenia (8 and 6 respectively), they remember the climate of fear that
prompted their emigration to Canada. "With the communists, nothing was for
sure and if you didn't do exactly as they say, they would kill you," said
Marian.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="Halerstory">
Joseph Haler, who worked as a police officer for most of
his career in Slovenia, knew the dangers of going against the government's agenda
first hand. "When my dad's life was threatened I guess that was when the
decision was made that we had to get out of there," said Marian. In 1957 a
man came to the Haler's house and warned Joseph that the military was planning
to kill him. Marian and Silvia were not told the exact reason behind this
threat but said that they were always told it had something to do with Joseph's
actions during the Second World War. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Halerstory">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Joseph left the country first and arranged for his family to
follow him soon after. Silvia and Marian recall having to climb mountains along
the "Iron Curtain," the guarded border between communist and
democratic Europe, to meet the professional border crosser Joseph had hired to
take his family into Austria. Although the two remember being nervous about
crossing the border, they were not entirely aware of the situation they were
in. "We were kids we didn’t have to clue what was going on," said
Silvia. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After crossing without incident, save the loss of one of
Marian's shoes, the family headed to a bus station and traveled to Maria's
sister's home in Austria. "We were told to keep our mouths shut and not
say a word while we were on the bus and from there on it was party time for
us," said Marian. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Halers stayed with Maria's sister in Germany and then at
a refugee camp where the sisters attended school while their parents organized
the details of their trip to Canada. The Halers left a port in Trieste, Italy
on what the sisters describe as a very nice, luxury Italian ship. "Not
that we were staying in the luxury section," added Silvia. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The journey took around two weeks. "I know it was at
least two weeks because we had fish on Fridays and the fish was not good,"
recalled Silvia. The boat arrived in Montreal on Marian's seventh birthday and
after clearing customs, the Halers got on a train headed to Sarnia.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Although the family was happy to arrive in Sarnia, getting
here was only half the battle. "Everything was new. We couldn’t even speak
the language," said Marian. The sisters
said that their new neighbours made adjusting to life in Canada much easier. "I
guess we've been really lucky we have always had good neighbors and good
friends and everyone was always trying to help." Silvia and Marian said
their next door neighbours would even give them rides to school so they didn’t
have to make the long walk. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The sisters attended St. Peters where their peers were very
eager to help them learn English. "We picked up the language quickly,"
said Marian. "Dirty words really quick," added Silvia demonstrating a
habit the sisters have of finishing each other's thoughts. They said the kids
at school would teach them swear words which they would repeat at home, excited
to show their parents what they were learning. "Of course our dad picked
them up too and started to use them," said Silvia. It was Joseph's friends
who finally told him what kind of words his daughters were bringing home from
school. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Marian and Silvia said that learning English was harder for
their parents than it was for them but with the help of friends and co-workers,
they too learned quickly. Both Joseph and Maria quickly found employment upon
arriving in Sarnia. A friend of Maria's got her a job in the laundry department
at the hospital. She soon transferred to housekeeping where she became a
supervisor. Joseph had had a carpentry apprenticeship in Slovenia and continued
that career in Sarnia. <o:p></o:p></div>

Both Silvia and Marian graduated from SCITS and went on to
relocate multiple times in Canada and the U.S. Both are now retired and spend
their time volunteering for their respective communities of Port Huron and
Sarnia.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Leaving their home and family in Slovenia was not ideal for
Maria and Joseph but they did have the chance to go back. "It took a long
time before anyone would go back because everything was so unsettled out
there," said Marian. The Halers became involved with the Slovenian club in
Lobo and connected with other people who had been forced to flee their homes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Silvia and Marian said that their father would often talk proudly
about how he arrived in Canada with less than a dollar in his pocket. Despite
this and all of the other uncertainties that the Halers faced when the <i>Observer</i> article was written, Marian
said that "Before we knew it," "it just all fell into
place," finished Silvia. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span lang="EN-US">The
Lambton County Archives is thrilled to announce that we are undergoing a major
capital project this year. Our collections storage area has been filled to
capacity for several years now. Our collection continues to grow as we accept
new donations, and it has become increasingly difficult to find room for new material.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">With the
installation of a mobile shelving unit in our collections storage area, we will
more than double our current capacity. We will also be able to reconfigure our collections on the new shelves in ways that are more intuitive than the current configurations.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Another major advantage of this project is the fact that we can reclaim our secondary storage space. Currently, we have 46 filing cabinets storing thousands of land instruments in a small secondary space called the Land Records Room. Many of these land instruments are over 150 years old. Currently, the land instruments are not in our primary, climate controlled collections storage area. They are also stored in aging filing cabinets that are not tall enough to accommodate all of the instruments, and some suffer damage as the cabinets open and close. By removing the land instruments from these cabinets and putting them into 375 custom ordered boxes, we can eliminate any future damage to this important collection. The new mobile shelving units will permit us enough space to accommodate these 375 boxes in the climate controlled area. We will be able to reclaim the secondary storage space as a cataloguing and conservation area where we will have the room to process archival material.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
estimated duration of the renovation project is <b>May 15, 2017 - June 23, 2017</b>.
During this time period, we will not be able to access our collections storage
area to retrieval archival material. Our facility will remain open to the
public during regular operating hours throughout the renovation (Monday to
Friday 9am-5pm; Tuesday and Thursday evenings 6pm-9pm; and Saturday afternoons
12pm-5pm). We will still have the capacity to assist researchers because we
will retain access to the reference books in our reading room, our microfilm
collection, and all online services. However, without access to the archival
collection some of our resources will be limited, and we will not have access
to our photograph or negative collections.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
project is made possible in part by the Government of Canada. We were
successful in applying for a grant through the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund. The
other key contributor for this project is the County of Lambton.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
upgrading of our collections storage capacity was identified as a priority in
our 2014 Strategic Plan, and we are pleased to be implementing this major
improvement. Moving forward, the Lambton County Archives will be in an event
better position to safeguard the documentary history of Lambton County.</div>

Thomas Doherty was a unique individual in Lambton history.
He was a man with broad interest and an inquiring mind, a poet, inventor,
engineer and politician. Often
recognized as a Sarnia man, Doherty also had connections to other parts of
Lambton County and is often celebrated as one of Lambton’s industrial pioneers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thomas was born in Lanark County and moved to Uttoexter in
Plympton Township at the age of 6. At a
young age he showed an aptitude for fixing machinery and equipment, and
operated a small blacksmith shop fixing farm tools. It is believed that he built his first
thresher in his shop there. <o:p></o:p><br />

Thomas showed an early business aptitude and, keen to expand
on his skills, when the Village of Watford offered free land to anyone willing
to set up a foundry and machine shop he moved his family and founded Watford
Agricultural Implement Works in 1875. Doherty was an excellent businessman and realized quite
early that to be viable in a local market he needed to be diverse and could not
focus on one line of equipment, such as threshers. Watford Agricultural Implement Works instead
offered a full line of implements, which also allowed his shop to corner the
market on implement repairs. He also guaranteed his equipment would be equal to any other
manufacturer and customers could return it if not satisfied after
purchase. His extensive sales were based
mainly on customer testimonials.</div>

In 1881 Tom took advantage of a tax forgiveness scheme that
Sarnia was offering to attract new business and opened a foundry there. The Doherty Manufacturing Company, located at
the corner of Queen and Wellington Streets, focused on stove production and was
soon a major Sarnia employer. By 1913 the
plant had expanded to take up the entire block between Queen and Vidal Streets,
churning out 3000 stoves a year. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Tom was a constant tinkerer and had a naturally inquisitive
mind. He held patents for many of his inventions over the years, an early one
being the discovery of a method to make cast iron as strong as steel, yet more malleable
and easy to work with. Called ferrous
steel, he patented this method as the "Doherty Process". Through further experimentation, he developed a more refined
method of controlling the impurities in iron, producing what he named
"DeCarbon Steel". This steel
was used in his stoves which he guaranteed would not crack or warp and would
last two stoves made of regular steel. </div>

His business sense also played a large part in his success
with Doherty Manufacturing - he did not employ travelling salesmen, and passed
those savings directly on to the consumer.
To make his stoves more attractive, he produced intricately embellished
stoves, including elaborate designs, images and colour on ceramic tiles and used
nickel to add flair. The stoves were all
given whimsical names to evoke an emotional response in his customers. <o:p></o:p></div>

Beyond Ferrous Steel and DeCarbon Steel, Doherty held
patents for many other innovations. He
obtained his first patent in 1881 for "Doherty's Improvements on Thrashing
Machines". With his guarantee of
the "perfect separation of grain from the straw" he received $4,000
in orders at its unveiling at the Warwick Fair. In the early 1890's there was a demand for central heating
in homes, businesses, and government buildings.
Doherty set out to design, patent and manufacture a new, highly
efficient boiler system which was awarded a gold medal by the Parisian
Inventors Academy!<br />

Doherty also devised several engines. He developed a marine engine and a gasoline
engine which had two pistons in one cylinder and was said to be vibration
free. Thomas built Sarnia's first
Automobile in 1895, largely from bicycle parts.
The 3 wheeled vehicle was powered by a huge coil spring that had to be
manually wound every few blocks. His next car was a 5 seater seen here, with 4 cylinders,
pneumatic tires and a water cooled engine.
This novelty was not well loved in town though - often seen as a
nuisance and scaring horses. In fact, his car was banned from the Sarnia & Florence
Plank Road by its private owners for spooking a horse and upsetting the
carriage. This ban was even upheld in a
court of law when Doherty challenged it. "Doherty's Red Touring Car Put Out of Business by a
Trolley baggage Car" declared the Sarnia Observer in 1903 when Doherty's
Automobile and the baggage car of the Sarnia Street Railway affectionately
"kissed" each other.</div>

Thomas also worked with the Sarnia Waterworks to improve the
safety of the town water supply. He
invented and patented a new water filtration system for use in the new
waterworks, which was completed after his death. <o:p></o:p></div>

Doherty did not just obtain patents in Canada for his
inventions. He obtained patent rights in

around the world. <o:p></o:p></div>

Thomas was also actively involved in civic life, beginning
in Uttoxeter where he was involved in the Canadian Grange Movement, to try and
improve the lot of farmers across the Country.
He then went on to be a councillor in Watford, an Alderman in Sarnia,
chairman of the Sarnia Parks Board, a hospital trustee, and member of the
Sarnia Street Railway, Board of Trade, the Industrial Club, the Sarnia
Automobile Club, the Sarnia Waterworks and finally was acclaimed Mayor of
Sarnia in late 1915.<o:p></o:p></div>

Doherty's time as mayor was unfortunately cut short. On September 6, 1916 he addressed the
citizens of Sarnia at the laying of the cornerstone for an addition to St.
Paul's Presbyterian Church. <o:p></o:p></div>

After his speech, he returned to his chair where he

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Following the highly
successful screening of vintage film footage in Alvinston, Lambton County
Archives is looking for the public's help in locating and digitizing more old film
from across Lambton County.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin-top: 12.0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">A screening of film
footage captured in Alvinston during the 1940s attracted more than 130
residents to a recent viewing at the Alvinston Library. Lambton County Archives believes the
popularity of the event demonstrates there is an appetite for more vintage
local films and hopes to expand its archival holdings beyond traditional
documents and still photos to a wider selection of media.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin-top: 12.0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">"Lambton County
Archives would love to digitize residents' 8 mm or other vintage film,"
says Dana Thorne, Archivist.
"Lambton County needs video footage that features our local
history. Not only does old film footage offer unique insight into the past, it
is also important to create digital copies of this material before the fragile
film becomes unviewable."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin-top: 12.0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Any film loaned to
Lambton County Archives will be screened by the Archivist. If the footage is determined to have local
historical significance, the material will be converted to digital format with
a copy to be housed at Lambton County Archives. For more details about the digitization project, visit the Lambton County Archives <a href="http://www.lambtonmuseums.ca/lambton-county-archives/vintage-film-footage/" target="_blank">Vintage Film Footage</a> page or contact Dana Thorne at 519-845-3324 ext. 5239 or via email at dana.thorne@county-lambton.on.ca. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">One of the most interesting pieces of footage to come in so far is the "Stars of the Town" footage from Alvinston. The footage was shot in Februar 1949 by a name named LeRoy (Roy) Harold Massecar. When he was not busy in his fulltime work as a reverend, Massecar travelled across Ontario and filmed the activities in small towns between 1947 and 1949. He would show the video footage in town halls and community centres, charging a small admission for local residents to watch themselves on the silver screen.</span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin-top: 12.0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Roy used silent, black and white 8 mm film to capture approximately 100 Ontario locations. For more information on Roy's other projects, visit the <a href="https://www.lib.uwo.ca/archives/starsofthetown.html" target="_blank">Western Archives page</a> on the "Stars of the Town."</span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin-top: 12.0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">His footage was recorded in Alvinston in February 1949 and screened on March 4, 1949. Two shows ran at 7:30pm and 9:30pm and admission was forty-five cents or twenty-five cents. <i>The Alvinston Free Press</i> published several articles and an advertisement for the event, included below. The newspaper reported in the March 9 issue that the screenings were a success: "To say the least, they were a scream - one long one - each time someone did something 'funny,' none of which were posed for. Just the ordinary passing parade of life in a small town like Alvinston."</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">DVDs have been produced with copies of the footage. They can be purchased for $20+HST at the <a href="http://www.lambtonarchives.ca/" target="_blank">Lambton County Archives</a> (787 Broadway Street, Wyoming) or the <a href="http://www.lclibrary.ca/index.php?option=com_mtree&task=viewlink&link_id=1&Itemid=598" target="_blank">Alvinston Library</a> (3251 River Street, Alvinston).

Sometimes one man's vision for a single organization can have positive implications for the rest of the community. This was definitely the case when T.W. Nisbet embarked on an ambitious project to build a hall for the Boys' Brigade.<br />

The Boys' Brigade was conceived by Sir William Alexander Smith in Glasgow in 1883. The organization's goal was "the advancement of Christ's kingdom among boys, and the promotion of habits of obedience, reverence, discipline, self-respect..." [extracted from "Company Card of 1st and 2nd Sarnia Companies, 1900 - 1901, The Boys' Brigade in Canada," page 1] Originally a British movement, the Boys' Brigade quickly swept across the globe throughout the British Empire.<br />
<br />
Shortly after Smith established the organization, Bank of Commerce manager Thomas W. Nisbet brought the program to Sarnia with the first company of the Boys' Brigade in Ontario. He quickly took on an ambitious project to build a hall. Organized recreation was not very prevalent at the end of the nineteenth century, and Nisbet worked hard against negative public opinion to fund the building's construction (which had an estimated price tag of more than $10,000!) When he secured the support of a wealthy backer, Nisbet was able to hire H.G. Philips of Sarnia to oversee the design and construction. By June 3, 1894 a dedication service was taking place to acknowledge the opening of the new building. <i>The Sarnia Observer </i>published an extensive article on Nisbet's achievement after the dedication service:<br />
<br />
"In a building such as this which, thanks to T.W. Nisbet's energy, liberality and perseverance, Sarnia now possesses, athletic exercises, swimming, diving and all the various forms of physical training can be carried on pleasurably and profitably throughout the entire year.<br />

"The new hall, which is situated on the west side of Christina Street, a little north of George, is a two story red brick, with stone trimmings, fronting 61 feet on Christina Street, and running 119 feet back to the lane... The main entrance door is trimmed all round with stone, with the monogram of the Boys' Brigade on the key stone... The drill room is 57X90 feet, with a hanging gallery running completely round the apartment, fitted up for running track, and with seating room for audience. The drill room is fitted with trapeze, horizontal and parallel bars, travelling rings, ladders and all the appliances and fittings of a complete gymnasium..." (8 June, 1884, page 4)<br />
<br />
After the construction Nisbet assumed financial responsibility for the building's ongoing costs, which were funded in part by the sale of season tickets to Sarnians ($6.00 for a man and $3.00 for a woman). Nisbet's grand vision produced not only a building for the Boys' Brigade, but also an important social hub for the community that provided new and exciting athletic opportunities to all Sarnians.<br />

Over time the building would become known to local residents as the Armoury. It took on much wider functions than just an area for the Boys' Brigade when it was selected to house Sarnia's militia. The building was even converted to a theatre before it was torn down in 1962 to make way for Sarnia's new City Hall.<br />

Here are some of the Boys' Brigade Company Rules, extracted from "Company Card of 1st and 2nd Sarnia Companies, 1900 - 1901, The Boys' Brigade in Canada," pages 3-4:<br />
<br />
1. Members must at all times set a good example to their comrades and other boys.<br />
2. Members must take the greatest possible care of all accoutrements entrusted to them.<br />
3. Members must come on parade in uniform, sharp to the minute, looking smart and clean.<br />
4. Members must give prompt and cheerful obedience to all the orders of their officers and non-commissioned officers.<br />
5. Members must always salute their officers when they meet or go up to address them when in uniform.<br />

An old church site has caused
a big stir in Lambton County and raised ethical questions about burial grounds and monuments. This blog post will provide a brief outline of the controversy and then summarize some of the documents in our collection at the Lambton County Archives that point to the existence of a pioneer cemetery.</div>

At the beginning of October a
small woodlot at 8947 Petrolia Line was cleared by a bulldozer. When a citizen
noticed broken monuments on the bulldozed site, the individual posted a notice
on the internet expressing concern that a pioneer burial site was being
disturbed. This post resulted in a flurry of activity on social media (see posts on the Lost Lambton, Found! Facebook page) and a
backlash from local residents. One group erected a sign and a roadside memorial
commemorating the Victoria Methodist Episcopal Church that once stood on the
site.<o:p></o:p></div>

Some accounts from local
historians have also supported the presence of a cemetery. Helen Clark of
Chatham grew up in the area and remembers talking about the site with other
local residents: "A number of years
ago I also talked with a person … She found only a partial stone
amongst the overgrowth, with a portion of a name - 'Peter McDerm....'
During the past 2 years I have been compiling a community history on many of
the early pioneer families and have done further research on the McDermid family.
I really feel that Peter McDermid was buried there, but
have no documentation to support that conclusion."<o:p></o:p></div>

When you think of Lambton County's nineteenth century oil
boom, do you think of exotic beaches, palm trees and sunshine? Probably not! Would
you be surprised to hear that at least one newspaper in sunny Mexico City was
reporting on our local oil industry in the 1860s? The international appeal and impact
of our local oil history is truly astounding!<o:p></o:p></div>

Reporter Felix Foucou wrote for <i>The Two Republics</i>, an English-language newspaper that was distributed
in Mexico City. It was published between 1867 and 1900. Between October 1869
and January 1870 Foucou published a series of chapters exploring the international
oil industry. He traveled to North American oil fields including Petrolia, and
provides an overview of our local oil boom and a firsthand account of his visit
here.<o:p></o:p></div>

in Wyoming to Petrolia is both <o:p></o:p></div>
visceral and amusing: "Our journey was one
series of shakes and jolts. The logs of wood, shaken night and day by the heavy
teams laden with barrels of oil, were all out of place, leaving great holes...
the calash [light carriage], knocked out of the plank road by a great heavy
wagon, was plunged up to the nave of the wheel in the mind. My 'Compagnons de
Voyage' jumped to the ground in the twinkling of an eye, I did the same, but my
boots, come from Paris, were truly microscopic and insufficient for an <i>oil man</i>." (<i>Two Republics</i>, November 13, 1869 p. 1)<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He also provides a description of mealtimes for the Petrolia
oil men: "… I heard about a hundred steam-engines whistle; it was midday
the hour for the second breakfast. The white smoke disappeared amongst the
derricks and the trees which surround us; the machines stopped, and I saw,
pouring forth, from all sides of the forest, the oil men of Petrolia making
their way to the various hotels of the place… it is necessary, above all to
keep the <i>human</i> machinery in working
order, subject as it is there, to a severe moral and physical strain." (<i>Two Republics</i>, November 13, 1869 p. 1)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of his Foucou's most interesting experiences involved
venturing into the oil field with an "oil smeller" or
"diviner," an individual trained to identify land rich in oil: "
Having come to a little bit of land whose proprietor accompanied us, [the oil
smeller] took notice of where he was, and then commenced walking slowly towards
the Southwest, holding in each hand one of the branches of the magical
implement: it was a little hazel-rod in the shape of a V… our sorcerer
therefore walked on holding the two branches with great force; the top of the V
was upwards and continued in this position for several minutes, when I saw it
suddenly bend towards the breast of the operator, who immediately stopping us
affirmed that in this same place, they would find at a depth of 400 feet a vein
of petroleum…" (<i>Two Republics</i>,
November 13, 1869 p. 1)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This story was featured prominently on the newspaper's front
page from October, 1869 to January, 1870, indicating a strong Mexican interest
in the international petroleum industry. Even all those years ago, Lambton
County's oil story garnered international recognition. Foucou provides a great
summary of the industry's impact when he notes, "Such was the commencement
of a business, whose importance the Americans so laconically describe by the
two significant words: <i>mammoth business</i>."
(<i>Two Republics</i>, October 23, 1869 p. 2)</div>

Preservation at Home</h3>
Many family documents, photos, letters, and diaries are passed down from generation to generation. You can help to preserve your own family documents by properly storing and safely handling them in your home.<br />
<br />
By keeping your documents in appropriate conditions, you can help ensure that they are preserved for generations.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Storage Conditions</h3>
Temperature extremes and fluctuations lead to degradation of documents. UV light from the sun or interior light bulbs can cause paper to degrade and ink to fade. To ensure that your documents last, keep them in conditions that are comfortable for people. A good rule of thumb is to <b>keep your family documents in the central part of your home</b>, where it is not too hot or cold, and not too dry or damp. <br />
<ul>
<li>Keep documents on the main floor (not in a hot attic or damp basement)</li>
<li>Keep the temperature between 15-21 degrees C (60-70 F) and 40-50% humidity</li>
<li>Ensure good air circulation</li>
<li>Keep away from light</li>
<li>Store flat in acid-free boxes, folders, or polyethylene plastic sheets (these can be found in stationary or art supply stores)</li>
<li>Keep like documents together (separate original papers, photos, and newspaper clippings from each other) </li>
</ul>

</h3>
<h3>
Handling of Records</h3>
Treat your historical family documents with care. Don't do anything to the documents that cannot be reversed (such as writing on them, laminating, taping, or gluing them.) Avoid frequently handling your records which can expose them to wear and tear.<br />
<ul>
<li>Don't eat or drink near records</li>
<li>Keep hands clean and dry (or wear white cotton gloves) since oil on skin can damage records</li>
<li>Use plastic paper clips instead of metal clips or rubber bands (which can rust or tear paper)</li>
<li>Don't put documents on permanent display (since light can damage them) and use copies for display purposes instead</li>
<li>Contact a professional conservator to repair or clean historic documents </li>

There are numerous events, tributes, and celebrations occurring all year long and the Sarnia Centennial Celebration Committee is promoting many on their <a href="http://sarnia100.ca/" target="_blank">website</a>. The Lambton County Museums department is also joining the celebrations!

The Imperial City Exhibit </h3>
In partnership, the LHM along with the Lambton County Archives has created an exhibit titled <i>The Imperial City</i> at the <a href="http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/home.do" target="_blank">Legislative Assembly of Ontario</a>. This exhibit explores the festivities surrounding Incorporation Day in 1914 and contrasts that scene with the parade of 1916 where Sarnia bid farewell to troops heading off to fight in the First World War. Both days saw an emerging city come together in celebration and support but for very different reasons. This exhibit can be seen at the Legislature in Toronto from April until July<span style="color: red;"></span> and we've provided a peek at some of the most interesting images and artefacts here in this post. <br />

<h3>
Incorporation Day </h3>
On May 7, 1914 Sarnia became a city. The day was filled with celebrations and the crowd that gathered along Front Street gave a loud welcome to Canada's Governor General, the Duke of Connaught, and his daughter Princess Patricia. A small village sixty years earlier, Sarnia had grown into a major industrial, manufacturing, and transportation centre.<br />

<h3>
First World War </h3>
Just three months later Canada entered into the First World War. Soldiers from Sarnia would fight and die in the Somme, at Vimy and Ypres. The men and women who stayed behind worked in factories farmed, raised funds, scavenged resources and wrote letters to loved ones overseas.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Troops Leave for War </h3>
Sarnia residents bid farewell to their local 149th Battalion in the spring of 1916. Troops marched from the city hall square to the Grand Truck railway station amid much pomp and ceremony. Though the crowds cheered and waved flags, it was a heart-breaking moment for many who would never see their sons, husbands, brothers or friends again.<br />

Participating students were given the opportunity to research a local fallen soldier from the First World War and write an essay on their findings for submission to Library and Archives Canada's <a href="https://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/cenotaph/index-e.html" target="_blank">Lest We Forget Project</a>. In the fall of 2012, a work-to-rule disruption threatened the survival of the initiative.<br />
<br />
Thanks to a timely community partnership, the Lambton County Archives (LCA) was able to ensure the continuation of the club. Archivist Heather Lavallee and local librarian Leigh Jackson acted as consultants, providing research help, offering instructional sessions, and creating an online research guide for students.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Program Objectives: Fostering Community-Led Partnerships</h3>
Through History Club the LCA, which traditionally served retirees and seniors, saw an opportunity to connect with an underserviced user group -- teenagers. Previously, LCA programming and service priorities worked in favour of existing patrons.<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<br />
By consulting and engaging with the club's teacher representatives, the LCA was able to design, plan, and deliver tailored outreach activities to meet the immediate needs of a local community group, and thereby shift the programming focus outward.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Program Outcomes</h3>
With the <b><i>ACRL Information Literacy Standards </i></b>as a framework, a series of monthly instructions sessions was developed. Using recommendations from <i><b>William Horton's E-learning by Design</b></i> manual, a <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/historyclublambton/" target="_blank">dedicated research site</a> was created to share links to recommended resources, research tips, presentation summaries, and contact information.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Participants:</h4>
<ul>
<li>learned genealogical and historical research skills</li>
<li>gained a better understanding of their community through the study of local history</li>
<li>created materials to add to the archival collection (local and national) while contributing to the historical record</li>
<li>developed an awareness of the role of the LCA within the community</li>
</ul>
<h4>
LCA:</h4>
<ul>
<li> promoted our collection and services</li>
<li>developed relationships with members of the community that were not typically represented</li>
<li>removed traditional barriers to archives use by developing an online research guide allowing students to easily access resources remotely and waived user fees for in-person visits</li>
<li>highlighted the value of the LCA as an important community resource</li>
<li>gained materials to add to the archival collection</li>
</ul>

Through collecting statistics and using assessment metrics, we were able to<br />
generate the following results.<br />
<br />
Most importantly, the essays which<br />
the students wrote will be added to<br />
our collection at the LCA. <br />

Conclusion</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
History Club was a successful program for participants, the LCA, and the local community. The students learned genealogical and historical research skills, and the club was able to continue and thrive thanks to the support and expertise of the LCA.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Through instructional sessions and the creation of a research site, the LCA reached an under-represented user group, developed new community partnerships, increased in-person visits, and raised awareness of LCA resources and services (while adding to the archival collection with user-generated content.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Most importantly, the LCA was able to offer timely programming to meet community needs. Moving forward, the LCA hopes to establish further community-led partnerships and work to expand the History Club program by connecting with other local high schools.</div>

This post will highlight some of the most interesting features of this new technology.<br />

<h3>
Background</h3>
Canon, the manufacturer of microfilm reader machines, has discontinued their micrographics line. This means that the traditional reader-printer machines are no longer available for purchase, and soon enough, we will not be able to find parts to service our older machines. Instead of the traditional lens and projection method of older microfilm machines, the most recent technology in microfilm readers is a system involving a high-powered <i><b>digital camera</b></i>. The image from the camera is viewable on a computer monitor, and the program allows for a larger number of options and functionality than the older machines. This is the future of microfilm machines!<br />
<br />
<h3>
Browse Tab</h3>
The <b>Browse</b> tab in the program lets the user adjust the image, much like the "wheel" in the lens of the older machines. However, inside this tab, the user has a higher degree of control over how much is "zoomed in" and how much is "focused." The user can also easily adjust light levels and even use the "Straighten" tool to level out the image! <br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiToEFB_K0S7kRe0EpLFetN0h2gonXRU4jglZDgYQhlxrKJSB1O8O6ZlHtFnOQmBwJBMLaKPq92-YPCVqXnkUkuqpufG61lunFfigG7L4D8tdGBeSi8MnOw_H20bJnl5Jb8sXuP0YyvlLxK/s1600/Browse+screenshot.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Browse tab screenshot" border="0" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiToEFB_K0S7kRe0EpLFetN0h2gonXRU4jglZDgYQhlxrKJSB1O8O6ZlHtFnOQmBwJBMLaKPq92-YPCVqXnkUkuqpufG61lunFfigG7L4D8tdGBeSi8MnOw_H20bJnl5Jb8sXuP0YyvlLxK/s320/Browse+screenshot.png" title="Browse tab screenshot" width="320" /></a></td></tr>

</tbody></table>
<br />
<h3>
Cropping Tab</h3>
The <b>Cropping</b> tab in the program lets the user crop an image to only what they want, and eliminate the unnecessary text. By simply clicking and dragging boxes around content, the user can select just the specific article they want.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm_smcL7ai_NdC1myADI0y_oS5PJpQSg_jxm1ElsNwJOJnVQFsxZZd_eRYol17PjnRyTzkIaBldnOpvXupHXOUQvCBuia_2PzzekwpfDA8nP0SWJ1bXLQQPafLrAsRpDxLtJyvfyqJqcnh/s1600/Cropping+screenshot+2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Cropping tab screenshot" border="0" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm_smcL7ai_NdC1myADI0y_oS5PJpQSg_jxm1ElsNwJOJnVQFsxZZd_eRYol17PjnRyTzkIaBldnOpvXupHXOUQvCBuia_2PzzekwpfDA8nP0SWJ1bXLQQPafLrAsRpDxLtJyvfyqJqcnh/s320/Cropping+screenshot+2.png" title="Cropping tab screenshot" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A screenshot of the "Cropping" tab where users can crop the image to capture only what they want.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<h3>
Saving</h3>
The images can be saved to a USB in various formats (PDF, JPEG, TIFF, etc.) Most useful is the <b>Searchable PDF</b> option which uses OCR (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition" target="_blank">Optical Character Recognition</a>) software to create a PDF which is searchable using the "Find" functionality in Adobe. (Click and hold Ctrl + F on your keyboard to "search" a document that has OCR capability.) This will make locating important names, dates, or locations in your research that much more effective!<br />
<br />
<h3>
Conclusion</h3>
The new ST ViewScan microfilm machine is an extremely useful piece of technology which gives users much more tools at their disposal than the older microfilm readers. Step-by-step instructions are available at the terminal and staff are more than happy to give users an orientation to our newest piece of equipment at the Archives.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Carolyn explained during her presentation that this book
chronicles her personal experience with genetic genealogy as well as the
how-to's and potential issues involved in this avenue of genealogy. There were
always family mysteries surrounding both of Carolyn's great-grandfathers and
the birth of her daughter around the time of the human genome project spurred
her to research her ancestry.</span></div>

past" in that it can reveal where in the world our ancestors came from and
how we are related to others. There are three basic DNA tests which all require
a cheek swab:</span></div>

this form of testing is limited by the fact that only women pass this DNA on.
mtDNA does not change quickly from one generation to the next, so it is a
powerful tool to reveal if people had a common female ancestor. This is limited
since it can only reveal the commonality, and not when that commonality
occurred (i.e. could be five years ago or 500 years ago.)</span></span></div>

For all of these tests, after you send a cheek swab to the
company, they analyze the DNA and compare it against other samples in their
database. They will then contact you with the results (which vary depending on
which test you pay for) but generally, they can tell you if you have genetic
relatives (those whose DNA is close to yours meaning you share a common
ancestor) and your ethnic background.<br />

Possible Ethical Issues </h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
When you are testing something as personal as DNA, it is
important to be aware of possible ethical concerns right from the beginning.
There is always the potential to find that a relative you may be testing is not
genetically related (i.e. father is not the biological father.) This issue is
so common that software has been designed to catch these "false
paternities" which has been estimated to account for about 10% of tests. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s your obligation to give people the full information and potential results
before they agree to contribute to your research. This not only impacts them,
but their children and the wider family. DNA testing always has the potential
to open up closed doors, so you should establish who you will be sharing
information with at the beginning of your research.</div>

Land records are a resource that sometimes get overlooked by researchers. Land settlement in Ontario has a complex history that can sometimes be cumbersome to research. This blog post seeks to address the history and dispel the confusion surrounding this informative resource. Land records can fill in the blanks between census records and flesh out how your ancestors lived between birth, marriage, and death registrations.<br />
<br />
<h2>
History of the Land</h2>
It is important to understand the history of the land you are researching so that you can put the information you find into its proper context. Land changes by geographical boundaries for administrative purposes over time. Thus, a piece of land may have been part of a different township, county, or district at different periods in time. As a result, you may have to look for land records in different administrative institutions. For example, concessions 1-4 of the former Sombra Township in Lambton County passed into the control of Gore Township in Kent County during the mid-19th century.<br />
<br />
Over time, the land which is now our community was in the District of Hesse, the Western District, and after redistricting finally became Lambton County. Knowing at which point in time and which administrative institution will allow you to be a more effective researcher into land records. See the Archives of Ontario <a href="http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/en/maps/ontario-districts.aspx" target="_blank">webpage on Early Districts and Counties</a> for more information.<br />

<h2>
Early Land Settlement</h2>
All land in Ontario was considered <b>Crown Land</b> (as in belonging to the government) from the time it had been surrendered to the Crown by a First Nation, up until ownership was transferred to the first private owner. The land was initially surveyed into townships consisting of concessions and lots. Concessions were strips of land about 1 1/4 mile wide and are often separated by road allowances of 66 feet wide. Concessions were then divided into lots, which were typically 200 acres, and individuals seeking land had to apply to the Crown to be granted one of these lots. <br />

<h3>
Crown Land Granting Process</h3>
The process to obtain a piece of land was a lengthy and complicated one. It changed over time with different jurisdictions and administrative institutions responsible for the process, but it was generally as follows:<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Petition</b>: an individual submitted a petition (application) to the Crown</li>
<li><b>Grant:</b> if the petition was successful, the Crown would issue a land grant to the petitioner who then became a settler on a 200 acre lot</li>
<li><b>Settle Land:</b> certain settlement duties were required to be met (such as clearing so much of the land, building a residence, etc.)</li>
<li><b>Patent:</b> once the settlement duties were complete, the Crown would issue a patent which officially transferred ownership to the private individual</li>
</ol>
<h3>
Resources for Crown Land Records</h3>
The <a href="http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/uclandboard/index-e.html" target="_blank">Upper Canada Land Board (1765-1804)</a> database from Library and Archives Canada is an online index to individuals mentioned in the Land Board records. Most records are between 1789-1794 (when Land Boards existed to facilitate settlement in the districts) and contain many references to Loyalists in the minutes, reports, and correspondence. This index points you to a microfilm reel containing the full document which can be ordered through the Lambton County Archives and consulted in our facility.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/land/land-petitions-upper-canada-1763-1865/Pages/search-petitions-upper-canada.aspx" target="_blank">Upper Canada Land Petitions (1763-1865)</a> is an online index from Library and Archives Canada of the petitions to obtain land in Upper Canada. Petitions are very useful since the applicant was required to prove their identity and may contain items such as letters of support from a magistrate or commanding officer. The petitioner was also required to explain why they deserved a grant and may contain the individual's life story or service in the American Revolutionary War or the War of 1812. This index points you to a microfilm reel which can be ordered through the Lambton County Archives or your local library. Also, the reels have been digitized and the <a href="http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/microform-digitization/006003-110.02-e.php?&q2=29&interval=50&sk=0&&PHPSESSID=8gnuugffe9q41a4j170velsl71" target="_blank">records are available online.</a> Note the microfilm number from the online index and consult the pdf of the digitized record. A note of caution however, the records are not searchable so you should consult the "Help" page to decipher how to navigate the records using the reference information from the index.<br />
<br />
The best resource for Crown land records is the <b>Ontario Land Records Index (OLRI</b>.) This resource, created by the Archives of Ontario, is an index of many records from various institutions involved in the granting process. It is only available on microfiche (at the Archives of Ontario, ordered through your local library, and at institutions who own a copy.) At the Lambton County Archives, we have a copy of the index, which has been indexed by surname and by township. Thus you can search it by ancestor or by land.<br />
<br />
When you find an individual (or piece of land) the information is all in code. You can decipher the code through the <a href="http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/en/access/documents/research_guide_205_land_records.pdf" target="_blank">Using the Ontario Land Records Index</a> research guide created by the Archives of Ontario. For example, from the OLRI for John Wetheral, I was able to use the research guide to tell me that he received the South half of lot 10 in the 10th concession in Brock Township. The land was issued on 25 Sept 1834 as a sale involving the Canada Company (a settlement agency) and was a Clergy Land sale.

<h2>
Local Land Transfer Process</h2>
After the land was surveyed and granted to the first private owner, subsequent transactions for a piece of property were registered through the local <a href="http://www.ontario.ca/home-and-community/land-registry-offices-lro" target="_blank">Land Registry Office</a>. Thus land transfers between private individuals are registered at the local level. Although these transactions started in Ontario in 1793, it is important to note that registration was not mandatory until 1846, so many transactions were not registered or were registered many years after the event had occurred. <br />
<br />
To research local land records, you will need to know the legal description of the property: the <b>lot and concession numbers</b> for a specific township. These records are available at the Land Registry Office (LRO) where the land was registered or at a local repository. For instance, pre-1955 land registry records for Lambton County are at the Lambton County Archives.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Resources for Land Registry Records</h3>
Once land registration was legislated in 1865 to local LRO, <b>Abstract Indexes</b> were created to record transactions registered to a certain lot. In these ledgers, separate pages were kept for each individual lot as it was patented by the Crown. So while these indexes contain information such as name of buyer/seller (grantee/grantor), type of transaction (bargain and sale, deed, will, etc.), date, size of property, amount of money, and the corresponding<b> instrument number</b>, these indexes are for the <i>entire</i> lot. Many lots have been subdivided numerous times over the years into smaller parcels of land (i.e. north half of lot 1 concession 1, the southwest corner of lot 1 concession 1), but the transactions are all registered to lot 1 concession 1. This can make it difficult (but not impossible!) to see the ownership history of a particular property.<br />

<br />
After consulting the Abstract Index for the land you are researching, you need to note the instrument number in order to locate the corresponding <b>Land Instrument</b>. These are the original documents for the sale, deed, mortgage, will, etc. registered in the Abstract Index. It is important to note that many of these instruments have not survived, for example, pre-1846 transactions when land registration was not mandatory, or mortgages which were given to the owner when fully paid. However, many land instruments have been preserved and we have them for all townships in Lambton County.<br />

Many history books describe the achievements of men and remain silent about women, and the roles of women are often forgotten. This slowly started changing in the 1960s and 1970s when a new way of thinking about history developed. <i>Social historians</i> began looking beyond the upper classes, politicians, and heroes to study how so-called "ordinary people" lived. This contrasts sharply with historians who focused on royalty without looking at peasants, and generals without looking at soldiers. Since many women did not have opportunities to establish themselves as power politicians or businesspeople, this new perspective that looked beyond the "big names" of history began to include women.<br />

The roles, responsibilities and opportunities for women in 2013 are very different than they were in the past. It's important to remember that women in Lambton County in the 1800s lived in a society that had very different perspectives on the opportunities available for omen. These roles of women should be considered in the wider context of what society expected from women, and what women were taught they could give back to society. Expectations have changed drastically since Lambton County's population began growing more quickly in the mid-1800s. Changes in the roles of women will continue, and in 2113 historians may look back over the last hundred years and marvel at the lives of women in 2013!<br />
<br />
This discussion also applies to the concept of work. Women have traditionally been left out of discussions about work because the concept of work ignores a lot of the unpaid work that women do (housework, childcare, care of the elderly or sick, community service). If we think more broadly about the concept of work we can better understand the contributions women in the past made to society. Women in rural settings contributed to their households not only through tending children, cooking and cleaning, but also by managing the household budget and often assisting in physical tasks around the farm.<br />

This exhibit carries a special significance because the history of women is often forgotten or ignored. It's a rare chance to celebrate the women who have shaped Lambton County.<br />
<br />
Lambton Heritage Museums staff were able to pull some treasures from their collection to display in the new exhibit. One example is a dress from Helen Corey that tells a special story. Mrs. Corey lived in Petrolia and her husband worked in the oil industry. On display is a black dress that she purchased in Paris in 1926, along with the original receipt from the transaction.<br />

This dress was made for a night of dancing. The skirt is composed in several layers with a light top layer that floated while Helen danced and a stiffer layer underneath that swayed back and forth. The delicate beads along the neck are glass-blown beads.<br />
<br />
This delicate dress had deteriorated badly over time. Fortunately, part of the role of the Lambton Heritage Museum is to restore and bring back to life artifacts that would otherwise waste away.<br />
<br />
The dress was restored by a conservator in London who painstakingly sewed back on hundreds of the sequins that had fallen off over time. The conservator discovered that the sequins are made from a gelatinous or vegetable-based material and dissolve in hot water. If you look carefully at the underarms of this dress, you can see many of the sequins are partially dissolved or missing - Helen Corey must have enjoyed many nights of dancing and it cost her a few sequins! Through her restoration work on the dress, the conservator was able to uncover new and interesting information about Helen Corey and her dress.<br />
<br />
Visit the exhibit <i>Shine: Spotlight on Women of Lambton </i>at the Lambton Heritage Museum (10035 Museum Road - eight kilometers south of Grand Bend off Lakeshore Road) between May 12 and November of 2013 to see this and other interesting artifacts!<br />

Firefighting has an interesting history and the history of firefighting in Lambton County is no exception. Fire has historically posed a major threat to developing towns and cities around the world. Infamous damage occurred in England when the Great Fire of London raged from September 2 to 5 in 1666, destroying an estimated 13,200 homes and 87 churches. Fires were devastatingly common in early towns and cities, which were vulnerable because of over-crowding, many wooden structures, and the fact that so many daily activities (cooking, heating, lighting) involved open flames. Frequent fires eventually urged the establishment of formal firefighting organizations. However, prior to the formal fire departments, towns and cities often depended on volunteer operations.<div>

The first fire department in Sarnia was organized in the mid-1850s but it was poorly supported. A volunteer operation, Sarnia's first firefighters did not have proper equipment until town council purchased a hand drawn fire engine in 1859. Even with the new equipment, criticisms arose when the fire department did not arrive on scene in a timely manner. To combat the tardiness, financial incentives were offered to the first firefighters arriving on scene. Competing fire companies developed in Sarnia, and the first fire company to arrive at the scene of a fire was the only company to get paid! The Beaver Hose Company was one of these competing fire companies, and they were known for their fast responses.</div>

On July 6, 1912 the fire department became an official town department and service was standardized in Sarnia. Horses would continue to draw fire engines until the first trucks were introduced in the 1920s. More details about the history of the Sarnia Fire Department can be found on the <a href="http://www.city.sarnia.on.ca/visit.asp?sectionid=174">City of Sarnia's website</a>.</div>

Some parts of Lambton County faced special threats due to oil activities. Fires in the oil fields could be very frightening and fierce. When fires occurred during the great oil boom in Oil Springs in the 1860s (see the <a href="http://www.lclmg.org/lclmg/Museums/OilMuseumofCanada/BlackGold2/OilHeritage/OilSprings/tabid/208/Default.aspx">Oil Springs Boom and Bust</a> page on the Oil Museum of Canada's website for more details), witnesses reported that flames raged on the waters of the Black Creek, where overflow product had trickled from the oil fields. Petrolia also had to contend with some dicey situations as local refineries caught flame.

A grand station-hotel was built to mark the Canadian Terminus of the rail line, the grandest Grand Trunk structure west of Toronto. An impressive three-storey white brick building, the station-hotel was 200 feet long and approximately 40 feet tall. Features included first and second class waiting rooms, dining facilities, apartments for the stationmaster and his family, and overnight accommodations. The station stood on the waterfront on land that is now partially beneath the Blue Water Bridge and </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">the west balcony featured a beautiful view of the St. Clair River and Lake Huron.

Unfortunately, the opening of the St. Clair Tunnel in 1891 marked the end of rail service in Point Edward. All rail focus shifted to Sarnia, leaving the grand Point Edward station deserted and forcing hundreds of local residents to follow their railway jobs to Sarnia (two thirds of the population left).

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">The station building was destroyed by fire in September 1871. The fire was discovered by stationmaster Mr. John McAvoy. The blaze started in a barrel of hot ashes in a shed at the north end of the building, and it was encouraged by a gusty wind off the lake; within half an hour, the whole hotel burned to the bare brick walls. The <i>Sarnia Observer</i> reported on September 15, 1871, "[Mr. McAvoy] lost all his personal belongings including $660 cash." Apparently the cash was stuffed in the pocket of a vest he was unable to retrieve from the fire. Although he lost his money, McAvoy did escape with his life and the life of his family, also rousing the half-suffocated bartender from his bed before he could succumb to the smoke. The red brick telegraph and ticket office at the south end of the building were spared when firefighters tore up a section of the wooden station platform and soaked the wood to prevent further flames spreading. Soon after on September 22, the <i>Sarnia Observer </i>reported that the Grand Trunk would rebuilt the station-hotel in the spring; in fact, construction began on December 1 of that year. Construction continued in earnest throughout the chilly Canadian winter. On April 19, 1872 the <i>Sarnia Observer</i> announced "Grand Trunk Ry. station, at Point Edward nearly re-built after the fire." The new station had many of the same features as the old, including a customs office, agent's office, waiting room, ticket office, ladies waiting room, bar dining room, kitchen and pantry, with the agent's private dining room on the second floor. The building had fifty </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">apartments in total. It cost $20,000 for the reconstruction.</span></div>

The Prince of Wales, Albert Edward (later Edward VII), was scheduled to stop in Point Edward and Sarnia after touring Toronto and London. There was some confusion in the week leading up to his visit regarding when and how the Prince would travel to Lambton County, and County Warden Archibald Young made sure that he personally traveled to Toronto himself to confirm the details. Early in the morning crowds from Sarnia and Point Edward as well as travelers from across the county (arriving on foot, horseback and cart) crowded into the gallery where the opening address would take place. A Reception Committee including local dignitaries greeted the Prince and there were a series of formal addresses.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Some came in traditional dress with feathered headdresses and painted faced, while others wore European-style clothing. Native American H.P.

Apparently not given to speeches, Grant bowed several times from the depot balcony but did not address the crowd.

In 1860 the Beatty Transportation Company began a steamship service from the Point Edward station to Duluth on the aptly named steamer <i>Manitoba</i>. West of the Grand Trunk station a shed was built for immigrants to take a break on their long journeys. Immigrants crammed into colonist cars on trains were in need of clean clothes and a bath before continuing the long journey. In front of the shed was an enclosed space on the river where train loads of immigrants (500 - 1000 people) could wash themselves and their clothes before loading onto steamboats for farther destinations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

MacArthur shows a large group of Icelandic settlers arriving in Point Edward on their way to settle on the shores of Lake Winnipeg, beyond the borders of Manitoba in the Northwest Territories, in October, 1875. 266 Icelandic immigrants were traveling together to the settlement. The eruptions of Mount Hecla had left hundreds homeless in Iceland, and the Canadian government sent agents there to provide government loans to families who would come and settle in Canada. Point Edward served as a point of call for these and other immigrant families settling across western Canada and the United States. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Throughout Lambton County's history some businesses have ignited the public imagination and left an interesting legacy. The Newton Hat Shop is one example, a local business first established in Sarnia and eventually moved to Petrolia, owned by Katherine N. Newton. The Lambton Room is fortunate to have some interesting documentation from Newton's business.</span></div>

She created and decorated her own hats but also ordered the latest hat fashions from hotspots like Toronto, Vancouver, New York and Paris. Newton operated two different hat shops, one in Sarnia and one in Petrolia. A newspaper advertisement in the <em>Sarnia Canadian Observer</em> announced the arrival of a store on March 14, 1919 at 129 Front Street (see scan from paper). The stores have been referred to variably as "The Newton Hat Shop" and "Miss Newton's Hat Shop." By 1946 the Sarnia location had closed and the Petrolia location was changing locations again, as announced in </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Petrolia Advertiser-Topic</i> on December 12: "Another new business will be open to the public in Petrolia on Saturday next when Miss Kate Newton, of town, opens the Newton Hat Shop in the former Pearson block."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Newton owned and operated her hat shop at a time when few other women were in business for themselves. She was a pioneer for businesswomen and exercised creative talents crafting hats and managerial/economic talents running her own small business. Little has been recorded about Newton personally outside of her business life. She ultimately chose not to marry and lived at 4227 Henry Street in Petrolia with her older brother, Roy, her sister, Ethel, and her mother.</span><br />

These were purchased by George L. Smith, a local historian who has often swooped in to collect and purchase local artifacts and documents that might otherwise have been lost to history (it was also Smith who rescued from a dumpster the original Sarnia Observer Negative collection, thousands of negatives published between the 1950s-1970s and now safely stored in the Lambton Room - see blog post <a href="http://thelambtonroom.blogspot.ca/2012/02/local-history-gem-sarnia-observer.html">Local History Gem!

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I'm conducting research for the <a href="http://www.lclmg.org/lclmg/Museums/LambtonHeritageMuseum/tabid/113/Default.aspx">Lambton Heritage Museum</a>'s 2013 exhibit, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Shine: Spotlight on Women of Lambton</i>. I've been looking for good examples of women making positive change in their communities and beyond through formal organizations. In the Lambton Room's vault I found some really interesting material from the Inwood Red Cross Society, not an entirely female society but one with many female members. The Inwood Red Cross Society was established just after the outbreak of WWII to support Canadian soldiers. Here is a brief history of the Red Cross and the founding of the group in Inwood, and scans of some traces of the society we have in the Lambton Room collection. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

It can trace its roots back to Louis Riel's 1885 Northwest Rebellion, when Dr. George Ryerson designed a Red Cross flag to identify the wagon he used to transport wounded soldiers. Dr. Ryerson founded the British Red Cross overseas, which later became the Canadian Red Cross.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">On the home front, the Red Cross was a rally point for local residents eager for opportunities to support troops overseas. The Inwood Red Cross Society was established in 1940 as "S.S. #14." Shortly after the society was formed, on June 1 the group put out a call for "wool blankets so urgently needed." Not wasting any time, by June 3 members had shipped from Inwood "four pair new blankets and four slightly used blankets." (Information taken from Inwood Red Cross Society Minute Book, 1940-42, p. 3-5 in Lambton Room collection.) The Inwood Red Cross Society demonstrates how men and women worked together to provide for Canada's armed forces during WWII. Women held many important roles in the society including secretary, treasurer, sewing convenor, knitting convenor, quilting convenor, and social convenor. We have many interesting documents from their organization including minute books, receipts from purchases made for fundraisers and soldier care packages, and letters written by grateful soldiers.</span></div>

Directly across the street from the developing Watford/Warwick Museum is the Watford Fire Hall. They held a mural unveiling on Saturday afternoon. The series of three murals were produced by local artist Francis Martin and celebrate the history of the Watford Fire Hall, local military contributions and the famous Maxmobile that came out of Watford.</div>

Doors Open sites in Petrolia focused on Victorian architecture and stained glass. In Christ Church I had the opportunity to play the church bells! These bells are the only piece that survived a fire which destroyed the original church building. Each of the 11 bells has its own individual name.<br />

The Lambton Room Archives also participated in Doors Open. The archives brought out interesting material from their vault including rare photographs of interesting characters from Lambton County's history and a cookbook from the 1830s. Tips on genealogical research were provided and Lambton Room Historian Heather Lavallee was also on hand demonstrating conservation techniques.<br />
