Coronavirus Le coronavirus

A Word from the President

Un mot de la preacutesidente

As I write this more than 100 million people worldwide are on lockdown and to date more than 170000 people have been infected with COVID-19 the coronavirus that has already taken 7000 lives By the time I finish writing those numbers will have grown at an alarming rate Our capacity to handle this pandemic will in contrast have shrunk

Global health concerns have had an enormous impact on the Canadian Historical Association As I write we are still assessing what is and what is not possible as far as Congress at Western University at the beginning of June is concerned Both postponement and a substantial change in the format remain under discussion If there is anything that might be called a CHA annual conference at any time in 2020 there is no doubt that it will be dramatically different from all the previous conferences Just how remains an open question

Everyone in our community of historians has been affected by the spread of the virus whether they are K-12 teachers whose classes have been put on hold university professor who are scrambling to shift what remains of the term onto an online platform precarious historians whose summer con-tracts are even more uncertain than usual public historians working in museums and galleries that are closed or working with dramatically reduced hours or researchers whose plans for trips to archives at home and abroad have been put on hold Many of us I fear will also become infected with the disease Historians may not be on the frontline of the defence against COVID-19 but we most certainly feel the effects

The transformation at the very least of Congress will be a great disappointment to all those who have worked so hard putting together a terrific program everyone who is included on that program and all those who were looking forward to a few days in London catching up with old friends being inspired by the presentations or doing something some-what embarrassing at Cliopalooza The asterisk that will be the year 2020 may serve to remind us of just how much we appreciate face-to-face contact Historians are not always the most gregarious or extroverted group but 2020 may con-vince us that the connections we make and continue at live events like conferences are valuable and worth continuing even as we explore more avenues of virtual connectivity

The CHA had been exploring alternate ways of linking his-torians in different fields different jobs and different career stages long before we knew anything about COVID-19 Our website (cha-shcca) offers all sorts of information and links regarding careers in history sources publications teach-

Les preacuteoccupations sanitaires mondiales ont un impact eacutenorme sur la Socieacuteteacute historique du Canada Au moment ougrave jrsquoeacutecris ces lignes nous sommes toujours en train drsquoeacutevaluer ce qui est possible et ce qui ne lrsquoest pas en ce qui concerne le congregraves qui se tiendra agrave lrsquouniversiteacute Western au deacutebut du mois de juin Le report ou une modification substantielle du format du congregraves sont deacutebattus preacutesentement Quoiqursquoil en soit si une reacuteunion que lrsquoon pourrait deacutecrire comme une confeacuterence annuelle de la SHC a lieu en 2020 il ne fait aucun doute qursquoelle sera radicalement diffeacuterente de toutes les confeacuterences preacuteceacutedentes Reste agrave savoir comment proceacuteder

Tous les membres de notre communauteacute drsquohistoriens ont eacuteteacute toucheacutes par la propagation du virus qursquoil srsquoagisse drsquoenseignants de la mater-nelle au secondaire dont les cours ont eacuteteacute suspendus de professeurs drsquouniversiteacute qui srsquoefforcent de transfeacuterer ce qui reste du semestre sur une plateforme en ligne drsquohistoriens preacutecaires dont les contrats drsquoeacuteteacute sont encore plus incertains que drsquohabitude drsquohistoriens publics tra-vaillant dans des museacutees et des galeries fermeacutes ou dont les horaires de travail sont consideacuterablement reacuteduits ou de chercheurs dont les projets de voyages dans des archives nationales et eacutetrangegraveres ont eacuteteacute suspendus Beaucoup drsquoentre nous je le crains seront eacutegalement infecteacutes par la maladie Les historiens ne sont peut-ecirctre pas en pre-miegravere ligne de deacutefense contre la COVID-19 mais nous en ressentons tregraves certainement les effets

La transformation agrave tout le moins du Congregraves sera une grande deacuteception pour tous ceux qui ont travailleacute si fort pour mettre sur pied un programme formidable pour tous ceux qui sont inclus dans ce programme et pour tous ceux qui attendaient avec impatience de passer quelques jours agrave London pour revoir de vieux amis srsquoinspirer des preacutesentations ou faire quelque chose drsquoun peu gecircnant agrave Cliopa-looza Lrsquoasteacuterisque rattacheacute agrave lrsquoanneacutee 2020 peut nous rappeler agrave quel point nous appreacutecions les contacts en personne Les historiens ne sont pas toujours le groupe le plus greacutegaire ou le plus extraverti mais 2020 pourrait nous convaincre que les liens que nous eacutetablissons et maintenons lors drsquoeacuteveacutenements en personne comme les confeacuterences sont preacutecieux et meacuteritent drsquoecirctre maintenus mecircme si nous explorons drsquoautres voies de connectiviteacute virtuelle

ing resources and once we can hold them events The ongoing process to make that information accessible and user-friendly continues We have started to supplement the popular Intersections with a more frequent compendium of news and coming events called Historians Corner We have also started to work towards augmenting the in-person meetings of the CHA with webinars The first two are in the pipeline now and with luck will be available in the coming weeks We know how tricky it is to produce virtual content but in the interest of serving a broader historical commu-nity that for a number of reasons including finances family commitments health carbon footprint and now very obvi-ously the coronavirus cannot travel we started to navigate ways that we might make this work months ago

We have also been in negotiations with other large aca-demic associations and with the executive of the Federation of Humanities and Social Sciences regarding experiments in virtual participation at Congress These discussions pre-ceded the arrival of the pandemic and revolved around a more ordered unveiling of an in-personon-line mix at Congress than is under discussion now but the CHA has been represented in these discussions from the beginning

Congress is certainly a big part of what we do but it is far from the only thing Right now we have an opportunity to proceed with some of the good ideas wersquove copied from both the American Historical Association and the Royal Historical Society The former gave us a model for our recent survey on sexual harassment at Congress although our resulting policy looks a little different than the one that the AHA produced In particular it is shaping up to be not a policy on sexual harassment as is the case with the AHA but rather a policy on harassment period The RHSrsquos Race Ethnicity and Equality in UK History Report (httpsfilesroyalhistsocorgwp-contentuploads20181017205337RHS_race_report_EMBARGO_0001_18Octpdf) has pro-vided important guidance for the CHA in addressing similar problems surrounding the lack of diversity in university his-tory departments and in the profession more generally

A number of groups and individuals have also urged us to use our resources to figure out things about the nature of the profession ndash whorsquos getting jobs and where what those jobs looks like and how precarity is being addressed or perpet-uated in various institutions We can do that and will work ndash from home remotely and respectful of social distancing ndash to use our position as a national organization to survey the state of the historical profession in Canada in more concrete ways than we have to date

Valuing Historical FictionWhen I was in Chapters Indigo the other day there were a num-ber of books on display that were being promoted as ldquohistorical storiesrdquo that would ldquoinstantly transport you back to the pastrdquo I was intrigued for a number of reasons

I have always enjoyed historical fiction One of my favorite movies of all time is The Lion in Winter which stars Katharine Hepburn Peter OrsquoToole Anthony Hopkins Jane Merrow and Timothy Dalton (in his film debut a couple of decades before he was cast as a monogamous James Bond during the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s) The Lion in Winter tells the tale of the personal ambitions and political maneuvering of members of the royal family of Henry II of England as they gather for Christ-mas in 1183 What makes the movie worth watching in my opinion is that like all good historical fiction it blends historical facts with imagination and creative style The person who wrote the screenplay James Goldman was a student of history and took great care to develop the characters setting plot and theme so as to elucidate the past As a result the movie appeals to the viewer on an emotional and intellectual level Historical fiction be it in film or in such books as Lawrence Hillrsquos award-winning Book of Negros Timothy Findleyrsquos The Wars and Hilary Mantelrsquos Wolf Hall is an important genre because as Helen Cam once wrote ldquoit can awaken the incurious especially the young to the interest in the past widening the horizons of all and enticing a minority to serious studyrdquo

It was with a good deal of excitement therefore that I read the summaries on the back of the books on display But unfortu-nately the books were not historical fiction as suggested but rather what Jill Paton Walsh terms ldquocostume novelsrdquo The dis-tinction is an important one A costume novel is of little use to the historian because it doesnrsquot pay enough attention to histor-ical detail In the ldquocostume novelrdquo the author simply places the fictional characters in a historical setting but they do not partic-ipate in public events or interact with other characters so as to reveal the social political cultural and economic conditions of a previous age This ldquocostumerdquo treatment of the past is one of the most frequent objections voiced by historians in their criticism of historical novels

I have no time for costume novels but I believe there is a place for historical fiction in the profession and in the classroom Any-one who has worked with the primary evidence knows that the documentation of any complex event is never fully complete or totally reliable And when one attempts to account for the motives that govern human behaviour ndash particularly those from ldquobelowrdquo who have been marginalized and denied a voice ndash the task of reconstruction is made doubly difficult As a result some enterprising historians have begun using fiction to fill the large and small gaps we often find in the archives

For example Lorelle Semley at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester Massachusetts is using historical fiction ldquoto explore what it was like to be an enslaved girl who becomes a free woman of color in Bordeaux and struggles with the promise and limits of emancipation after the French Revolutionrdquo Her novel To Be Free and French draws upon her earlier academic research on Africans and Antilleans in Bordeaux from the eighteenth to twentieth centuries During the revolution and its immediate aftermath people of color occupied various positions as skilled and unskilled workers students and artists Yet their personal experiences are largely absent from our historical memory of the city and the French empire By employing the ldquohistorical imag-inationrdquo ndash to use RG Collingwoodrsquos term ndash Semley hopes to write a more inclusive history of Bordeaux of France and of the French empire

Similarly Laura Kamoie builds on her previous historical research to tell the fascinating tale of the eldest daughter of Thomas Jefferson Using much of the same information that she mined while writing her doctoral dissertation Kamoie along with co-author Stephanie Dray has written a historical novel Americarsquos First Daughter which imaginatively brings to life Patsy Jefferson Randolph as helpmate and legacy-maker of Thomas Jefferson Like The Lion in Winter the novel captures the temper of the age ndash its morals and its psychology and its material con-dition ndash and is consistent with the established facts of history Kamoie uses the historical evidence that exists but where it is missing she inserts well-informed assumptions about the world in which Patsy Jefferson Randolph and her contemporaries lived

In this sense the works of historical fiction are tremendously important to our profession Not only do they draw people to the discipline but they also advance our art by way of what the cultural critic and historian Robert Slotkin calls a thought-ex-periment As in modern physics thought experiments advance our artistic science by offering an interpretation of the past that can be empirically challenge by others Without such works the forward movement of knowledge would be slower and more dif-ficult

I wish there were more professional historians in Canada writing historical fiction After all we are the best equipped to tackle the task But right now there are few incentives to do so Perhaps if we start acknowledging the work it takes to research and write good historical fiction and reward those who engage in the art by accepting their works towards tenure and promotion we will have more of it in Canada

The Canadian Committee on Womenrsquos and Gender HistoryLe Comiteacute Canadien de lrsquohistoire des femmes et des sexes has enjoyed another busy and productive year One of the most significant developments approved at our 2019 AGM was the changing of the Committeersquos name to include the term ldquoGenderrdquo The membership felt that this shift better reflected the plural-ity of scholarship supported by our organization Such a name change is a complex process in the digital age and is ongoing

At the 2019 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Historical Asso-ciation (CHA) in Vancouver we were pleased to present a keynote address by Valerie J Korinek entitled ldquoQueer Thoughts for Challenging Times Writing Canadian Histories of Sexual-ity and Gender from the Marginsrdquo Dr Korinekrsquos presentation raised important issues about the marginal place occupied by histories and historians of sexuality in Canadian historical scholarship and the Canadian historical profession We were also excited to announce several prize winners Karissa Patton (University of Saskatchewan) was the recipient of the Marta Danylewycz Memorial Fund with the prize money going to support her increasingly timely dissertation work on the history of reproductive and sexual health activism in Alberta Denyse Balliargeon Josette Brun and Estelle Lebel won the French-lan-guage Hilda Neatby Prize for their article ldquolaquo Jrsquovois pas pourquoi jrsquotravaillerais pas raquo marieacutees agrave lrsquoeacutemission teacuteleacuteviseacutee Femme drsquoau-jourdrsquohui (Socieacuteteacute Radio-Canada 1965-1982)rdquo analysing the complexity of feminist expression within the Radio-Canada program laquo Femme drsquoaujourdrsquohui raquo at a crucial time in Que-becrsquos history (Recherches feministes) Karen Flynn won the English-language Hilda Neatby Prize for her complex intersec-tional analysis of the discrimination case of Gloria Clarke Baylis in her article ldquolsquoHotel Refuses Negro Nursersquo Gloria Clarke Baylis and the Queen Elizabeth Hotelrdquo (Canadian Bulletin of Medical HistoryBulletin candien drsquohistoire de la meacutedecine) Honorable

mention was also given to Donica Belisle and Kiera Mitchell for their article ldquoMary Quayle Innis Faculty Wivesrsquo Contributions and the Making of Academic Celebrityrdquo (Canadian Historical Review) Several of our members also received other Canadian Historical Association honours including Shirley Tillotson whose book Give and Take The Citizen-Taxpayer and the Rise of Canadian Democracy took home the Best Scholarly Book in Canadian History Prize

Many publications by our members were celebrated at the annual book launch held at the Peter Wall Ideas Lounge and Patio at UBC and which was organized with the invaluable work of Laura Ishiguro Several excellent books were highlighted and the beautiful venue was an exceptional place to socialize and catch up on the work of our members

The CCWGH-CCHFG anticipates another busy year as we address ongoing challenges including the significant number of our members who are under- or precariously employed

At the upcoming CHA meeting we are proud to sponsor a roundtable discussion and celebration honouring Franca Iacov-ettarsquos many contributions to Canadian womenrsquos and gender history

The CNHH has two main areas of focus The first is to further the study of the history of humanitarianism and development assistance by building collaborations within Canada and interna-tionally The second is to make connections between academics and practitioners to preserve the written documentation and memories of the important organizations and movements related to this history




At the CHA Annual Meeting held at UBC last June we spon-sored a panel session entitled ldquoLearning from DevelopmentDevelopment from Learning Aid and Education 1945-1975rdquo The panel chaired by David Webster and with presentations from David Meren Kevin Brushett and Jill Campbell-Miller focused on intersections between education international development and foreign aid within Canadian history between the 1950s and 1980s A recording of this panel ses-sion can be found on our website at httpaidhistorycatalklearning-from-developmentdevelopment-from-learn-ing-aid-and-education-1945-1975description-tab

We also hosted our Sixth Annual Meeting and Workshop in Vancouver on June 6 2019 We were happy to coordinate with the British Columbia Council for International Cooperation (BCCIC) who invited their members to attend In addition to sharing news from the network attendees also discussed how the Network could be useful for organizations looking to preserve their history on the West Coast This led to a fruitful exchange with the BCCIC Plans are in the works to create a webinar for NGOs on maintaining and preserving their documentary his-tory in collaboration with the Archives and Special Collections (ASC) at Carleton University

The Humanitarian Archival Rescue Project in collaboration with ASC has been busy acquiring more fonds of note is a sub-stantial amount of papers from the Archives of the Canadian Red Cross (the transfer is documented here httpaidhistorycacarleton-universitys-macodrum-library-accepts-deposit-of-ca-nadian-red-cross-materials) together with a handful of personal archives from CIDA retire workers

Additionally the BCCIC invited the CNHH to give a presenta-tion at their AGM which happened to be the 30th anniversary of their organization Kevin Brushett and Jill Campbell-Miller spoke via teleconference in October Dr Brushett focused on a general history of international cooperation in Canada while Dr Campbell-Miller used the organizationrsquos own documentary history to put together a historical overview of the BCCIC A blog about this event originally posted on the BCCICrsquos website

For the coming year the CNHH is sponsoring panel at the CHA Annual meeting on engagements with the public particularly through the use of visual history in teaching subjects related to humanitarian history in a panel entitled ldquoMaking Connections with the Public Alternative Approaches to Learning Historyrdquo

Many members of the CNHH were contributors to a new volume published in open access form by the University of Cal-gary Press in August A Samaritan State Revisited Historical Perspectives on Canadian Foreign Aid edited by David Web-ster and Greg Donaghy A summary of a book launch held in November at the Bill Graham Centre of Contemporary History can be found at httpaidhistorycaa-samaritan-state-revisit-ed-book-launch-november-19-2019

Collaborative work with NGOs has continued Thanks to a MITACs grant doctoral candidate Helen Kennedy will in the coming four months co-producing micro-histories with the World University Service of Canada (WUSC) the Leb-anese Disability Hub the Latin America Working Group the Multi-Cultural Council of Saskatchewan and IMPACT Undergraduate research assistants Anne-Michegravele Lajoie and Elizabeth Reid have worked with Alternatives and WUSC respectively to help with oral histories and archival proj-ects An account of the Alternatives work can be found at httpaidhistorycaentrevues-et-documentation-pour-lhis-toire-dune-aventure-montrealaise-de-solidarite-internationale

Carletonrsquos course in the history of humanitarian aid in the Fall of 2019 produced five original histories of development and aid based in the collections hosted by ASC at the request of the CNHH personal collections of CIDA employees the Canadian Red Cross MATCH and the CIDA educational collection The account of the work done on the Canadian Red Cross can be found at httpsredcrosshomeblog

I left one field of what for me was precarious work to enter another field of precarious work when I decided to start my PhD Arguably Irsquom still in the same field History is History it shouldnrsquot really matter if Irsquom doing History at a museum or a university

The conversation of the precariat is in no way new to me With multiple university museum library and archives contracts in three provinces over four years I knew precarity well I accepted that it was a temporary part of my life while I gained experience and sorted things out

And so my eyes were wide open to the precariousness of doctoral study I was given various versions of ldquothe talkrdquo by senior faculty members at my institution and others to make sure that I was returning to academia with a plan to get out as soon as I defended my dissertation What I wasnrsquot so clear on however was how behind the curb academic circles were on acknowledging and resolving the precariousness of their colleagues

Of course it really shouldnrsquot be a surprise for any member of the Canadian Historical Association (CHA) who has been paying attention Universities and other arts and culture sec-torsmdashmany of which we as students are speciously told we can enter as ldquoalt-acrdquo Plan Bs without any further schooling or trainingmdashare surviving because of their dependence on high-ly-educated precarious workers

Active History anonymously released the ldquoPrecarious Histor-ical Instructorsrsquo Manifestordquo1 on February 20th 2020 This is the first time that graduate students and sessional instructors working towards or with PhDs in History across Canada have gotten together to address the precarity that they all share It makes some direct and realistic recommendations to their professional associations departments faculties and funding agencies

It also illustrates some of the shared realities that link graduate school with post-PhD life Part of the preamble to the mani-festo reads

Who Thinks that Precarity Strengthens our Field

Qui pense que la preacutecariteacute consolide notre profession

Jrsquoai quitteacute un travail qui eacutetait selon moi preacutecaire pour entrer dans un autre domaine de travail preacutecaire lorsque jrsquoai deacutecideacute drsquoentreprendre mon doctorat On peut dire que je suis toujours dans la mecircme pro-fession Lrsquohistoire est lrsquohistoire peu importe que je fasse de lrsquohistoire dans un museacutee ou dans une universiteacute

La conversation du preacutecariat nrsquoest en aucun cas nouvelle pour moi Apregraves avoir eu de multiples contrats drsquouniversiteacutes de museacutees de bibliothegraveques et drsquoarchives dans trois provinces sur quatre ans je connaissais bien la preacutecariteacute Jrsquoai accepteacute que ce soit une partie tem-poraire de ma vie le temps drsquoacqueacuterir de lrsquoexpeacuterience et de reacutegler les choses

Ainsi jrsquoeacutetais tregraves consciente de la preacutecariteacute des eacutetudes doctorales Des professeurs de mon eacutetablissement et drsquoautres personnes mrsquoont donneacute diffeacuterentes versions du laquo sermon raquo pour srsquoassurer que je retournais agrave lrsquouniversiteacute avec un plan de sortie degraves que je deacutefendrais ma thegravese Ce que je nrsquoai pas compris cependant eacutetaient la faccedilon dont les universitaires en coulisse srsquoy prenaient pour admettre et solutionner la preacutecariteacute de leurs collegravegues

Bien sucircr cela ne devrait pas surprendre les membres de la Socieacuteteacute historique du Canada (SHC) qui ont eacuteteacute attentifs Les universiteacutes et les autres secteurs artistiques et culturels - qui nous dit speacutecieu-sement en tant qursquoeacutetudiants que nous pouvons opter pour le plan B laquo carriegraveres non universitaires raquo sans autre forme drsquoeacuteducation ou de formation - subsistent en raison de leur deacutependance agrave lrsquoeacutegard de travailleurs preacutecaires tregraves instruits

Active History a publieacute le laquo Precarious Historical Instructorsrsquo Mani-festo raquo1 anonymement le 20 feacutevrier 2020 Crsquoest la premiegravere fois que des eacutetudiants diplocircmeacutes et des enseignants agrave temps partiel qui ont amorceacute ou qui possegravedent un doctorat en histoire agrave travers le Canada srsquounissent pour aborder la preacutecariteacute qursquoils partagent tous Le mani-feste formule des recommandations directes et reacutealistes agrave lrsquointention de leurs associations professionnelles deacutepartements faculteacutes et organismes de financement

Le texte illustre eacutegalement certaines des reacutealiteacutes communes qui lient les eacutetudes supeacuterieures agrave la vie postdoctorale Une partie du preacuteam-bule du manifeste se lit comme suit

Too many of us have experienced the anxiety of being forced to reapply for jobs every four months of hav-ing courses cancelled with no warning after weeks of preparation of being offered courses with as little as a few daysrsquo notice All of us are denied access to research funding shortly after we achieve our PhDs Many of us have found ourselves unable to collect unemployment insurance because adjunct and ses-sional labour contracts do not meet the minimum hour requirements Many of us have travelled to multiple institutions often hours away from home to cobble together enough contracts to pay our rent Our working conditions isolate us from our families relationships and communities The ripples of our losses and suffering extend beyond the university

For many of us this life of precarity marginalization and struggle begins in graduate school As the under-employment and unemployment of trained historians has become normalized the role of graduate student supervisors in championing and supporting their students in their job search has largely been aban-doned This has further divorced the profession from the lived conditions of its members Declining fac-ulty cohorts have decreased the capacity of graduate student supervisorsrsquo to give their students the time they need to address this As a result more and more graduate students must advocate for themselves in asymmetrical relationships within their departments and their universities often to the disadvantage of their professional status

Why encourage or employ anyone who talks about the valid systemic concerns of the field if there is no willmdashor capacitymdashto fix it It is too risky to continue talking about lived precarity as an individual when the system and those who guide it does not appear to be changing

Here we have people who are underpaid and overworked with little recourse few guarantees of tenure-track and even less opportunities for national organizing who have figured out a way to work together and use Active History as a platform to share their common concerns

That act in and of itself should for one thing be applauded

But unfortunately nobody knows who to praise

It is of course an anonymous manifesto Anyone asking why it is anonymous is ignoring the implicit risk of graduate stu-

Nous sommes trop nombreux agrave avoir veacutecu lrsquoangoisse drsquoecirctre obligeacutes de postuler agrave nouveau agrave un emploi tous les quatre mois de voir des cours annuleacutes sans preacuteavis apregraves des semaines de preacuteparation de se voir proposer des cours avec un preacuteavis de quelques jours seulement Nous nous voyons tous refuser lrsquoaccegraves au financement de la recherche peu apregraves lrsquoobtention de notre doctorat Beaucoup drsquoentre nous se retrouvent dans lrsquoincapaciteacute de percevoir lrsquoassurance chocircmage parce que les contrats de travail de semestre et agrave temps partiel ne remplissent pas les exigences minimales en matiegravere drsquoheures Beaucoup drsquoentre nous se rendent dans plusieurs institutions souvent agrave des heures de route de chez nous pour combiner suffisamment de contrats pour payer notre loyer Nos conditions de travail nous isolent de nos familles de nos relations et de nos communauteacutes Les reacutepercussions de nos pertes et de nos souffrances srsquoeacutetendent au-delagrave de lrsquouniversiteacute

Cet acte en soi devrait drsquoune part ecirctre applaudi

Mais malheureusement personne ne sait qui feacuteliciter

Il srsquoagit bien entendu drsquoun manifeste anonyme Quiconque se demande pourquoi il est anonyme ignore le risque implicite des eacutetudiants diplocircmeacutes et des doctorants qui parlent de preacutecariteacute Ces deux groupes sont remplis de personnes qui individuellement recherchent du financement etou travaillent aupregraves drsquoagences etou drsquoemployeurs Pourquoi encourager ou employer quiconque parle des preacuteoccupations systeacutemiques valables dans notre profession srsquoil nrsquoy a pas de volonteacute - ou de capaciteacute - pour y remeacutedier Il est trop risqueacute de continuer agrave parler de la preacutecariteacute veacutecue en tant qursquoindividu alors que le systegraveme et ceux qui le guident ne semblent pas chan-ger Un avantage marginal de cet anonymat est que les personnes qui dans nos propres deacutepartements vivent la preacutecariteacute au quotidien auraient peut-ecirctre pu le reacutediger eacutegalement


dents and PhDs who talk precarity Both of these groups are full of people who individually seek funding andor work from agencies andor employers Why encourage or employ anyone who talks about the valid systemic concerns of the field if there is no willmdashor capacitymdashto fix it It is too risky to con-tinue talking about lived precarity as an individual when the system and those who guide it does not appear to be chang-ing A fringe benefit of this anonymity is that just maybe the people in our own departments who are living precarity every day could have written this too

The people involved in writing the manifesto are hardworking historians They are not a group that representmdashor are repre-sentativemdashof us all But what this manifesto does do is give us all a starting point It tells us as an association and as mem-bers of this association what the problems are And it suggests some ideas to act on so that we can fix the problem of precarity that is seeing too many of our colleagues leave History behind for good

Canadian historiansmdashespecially those who study labour injus-tice in the pastmdashmust go beyond admitting that there is a problem We know that precarity is a problem Now is the time to work together to fix the problem step by step however we can

I urge you all to read the rest of the manifesto Bring it with you for discussion at whatever table(s) you sit at Talk about it with the precariat who experience it sure But also be sure to talk about it with tenured professors university adminis-trators and funding agencies some of whom can make the changes that our field at large needs Start working on real solutions for your precarious colleagues with them and while doing so assume the risk that they cannot Our field depends on it

Irsquove absolutely valued my time on CHA Council as graduate student representative It has been an honour and a privilege Please continue to do the good work that our field needs And know that your next step if you have any power in the field is to act on the calls to action and recommendations writ-ten in this manifesto This is where we start to improve the field Make our work environments ones where students and instructors can flourish with secure employment and you just might see the ldquoenrolment crisisrdquo resolve itself

Pourquoi encourager ou employer qui-conque parle des preacuteoccupations systeacutemiques valables dans notre profession srsquoil nrsquoy a pas de volonteacute - ou de capaciteacute - pour y remeacutedier Il est trop risqueacute de continuer agrave parler de la preacutecariteacute veacutecue en tant qursquoindividu alors que le systegraveme et ceux qui le guident ne semblent pas changer

Les personnes impliqueacutees dans la reacutedaction du manifeste sont des historiens qui travaillent fort Ils ne sont pas un groupe qui nous repreacutesente - ou qui est repreacutesentatif de nous tous Mais ce mani-feste reacuteussit agrave nous donner agrave tous un point de deacutepart Il nous dit en tant qursquoassociation et en tant que membres de cette association quels sont les problegravemes Et il suggegravere quelques ideacutees sur lesquelles agir pour que nous puissions reacutesoudre le problegraveme de la preacutecariteacute qui voit trop de nos collegravegues laisser lrsquoHistoire derriegravere eux pour de bon

Les historiens canadiens - en particulier ceux qui eacutetudient les injustices du travail dans le passeacute - ne doivent pas se contenter drsquoadmettre qursquoil y a un problegraveme Nous savons que la preacutecariteacute est un problegraveme Le moment est venu de travailler ensemble pour reacutesoudre le problegraveme eacutetape par eacutetape du mieux que lrsquoon peut

Le manifeste - je vous invite tous agrave le lire en entier Apportez-le avec vous pour en discuter ougrave que vous alliez Parlez-en avec les historiens en situation preacutecaire qui la vive bien sucircr Mais aussi nrsquooubliez pas drsquoen parler avec les professeurs titulaires les admi-nistrateurs drsquouniversiteacute et les organismes de financement dont certains peuvent apporter les changements dont notre profession a besoin en geacuteneacuteral Commencez agrave travailler avec eux sur de veacuteri-tables solutions pour vos collegravegues preacutecaires et ce faisant assumez le risque qursquoils ne puissent pas le faire Notre profession en deacutepend

Jrsquoai grandement appreacutecieacute le temps que jrsquoai passeacute au Conseil de la SHC en tant que repreacutesentante des eacutetudiants diplocircmeacutes Cela a eacuteteacute un honneur et un privilegravege Je vous prie de continuer agrave faire le bon travail dont notre profession a besoin Et sachez que votre prochaine eacutetape si vous avez un quelconque pouvoir au sein de notre profession est de donner suite aux appels agrave lrsquoaction et aux recommandations que contient ce manifeste Crsquoest par lagrave que nous pourrons ameacuteliorer la situation Faites de notre environnement de travail un lieu ougrave les eacutetudiants et les enseignants peuvent srsquoeacutepa-nouir en ayant un emploi stable et vous verrez peut-ecirctre la laquo crise des inscriptions raquo se reacutesoudre drsquoelle-mecircme

The final plans are coming together for the 99th annual meet-ing of the CHA to be held at Western University in London Ontario 1-3 June 2020 The proposals have been accepted the sessions assembled the events developed the rooms booked the catering ordered the preliminary program posted ndash why only a global pandemic could stop us now

Rest assured Congress generally and the CHA specifically will be keeping a close eye on the COVID-19 public health risk and will keep delegates aware of developments But Congress and the CHA are currently moving ahead with normal preparations

We are very pleased with the program that has been assembled for CHA2020 There are 79 sessions spread across the three days with presentations and roundtable discussions on all manner of topics related to the research teaching and presentation of his-tory One highlight is sure to be the keynote address from Prof Olivette Otele of Bristol University the United Kingdomrsquos first chair in the History of Slavery Prof Otele will speak on ldquoColo-nial Legacies and Afrophobia in European Citiesrdquo Although the CHA2020 program committee chose not to adopt a conference theme Prof Otelersquos talk aligns perfectly with the Congress theme of ldquoBridging Divides Confronting Colonialism and Anti-Black Racismrdquo and we expect it will draw an audience of delegates from a number of associations

Other sessions of special interest include a ldquoState of the Profes-sionrdquo plenary roundtable being held immediately prior to the CHArsquos AGM and prize ceremony We expect a lively productive discussion about enrolments precarity equity and much else that will engage both the onstage participants and the audience There will be panels honoring the work of Prof Franca Iacovetta and the late Prof Robert AJ MacDonald and for the first time Prof Ian McKay will share the stage with his brother Gover-nor Generalrsquos award-winning poet Prof Don McKay There is a roundtable on the Canadian Historical Reviewrsquos Forum on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission ndash and indeed a stellar number of panels concerning Indigenous History (and settler colonialism and anti-Black racism and gender history andhellip) There will be lots to learn from lots to think about lots to dis-cuss

And there will be plenty happening outside the sessions too We have organized a jam-packed day-long Black History tour of Southwestern Ontario it is very reasonably priced thanks to

CHA 2020 SHC 2020

sponsorship from Western the CHA and the Ontario Black History Society For the more adventurous there is a two-day canoe trip down the Thames River to a feast at Munsee Dela-ware First Nation and for the somewhat less adventurous there is a 90-minute hike of the Medway Valley Heritage Forest ndash or simply do both We have sought to develop ldquosmall platesrdquo pro-gramming for a wide range of interests whether it be a ldquoBeer and Bantingrdquo night that starts at a brewpub and ends at Banting House National Historic Site or a ldquoSpeed Networking for Public Historiansrdquo lunch that gets young scholars talking to represen-tatives of 15 Canadian public history institutions or what have you (Registration for these and other events can be made at cha-shccaevents) Of course there will also be a Cliopalooza dance and social event ndash my attempts to rename it Stagecoachella hav-ing gone nowhere ndash with the musical stylings of DJ Geoff Read And thatrsquos not to mention the cross-listed activities we have with other associations or the many activities organized by Congress itself such as Westernrsquos Festival of Public Scholarship

If you have any questions as CHA2020 approaches please feel free to contact us at chashc2020uwoca You will be visiting Western at the time of year when in my opinion it is at its love-liest We look forward to seeing you in London this June

Becoming a Historian (BAH) is a handbook for graduate students early career historians and their supervisors It contains guidance and practical advice on navigating post-graduate study sharing academic research and finding work inside and outside the acad-emy First published in 1999 and revamped in 2007 in 2020 CHA will publish a new edition that reflects the challenges and oppor-tunities of historians in the coming decade

This version of the guide is the culmination of three years of consultation with CHA membership including online calls for feedback and panels held at CHA in 2018 and 2019 to discuss the guide These conversations largely confirmed what the editors were thinking the career outcomes of academically-trained his-torians have changed Earlier versions of the guide reflected the assumption that historians would work in tenure-stream jobs Over a decade into the academic job ldquocrisisrdquo universities are fun-damentally changed Increasingly historians are working outside the academy applying skills honed in graduate school in new and unexpected ways

The new edition revises and updates earlier editions of Becoming a Historian Sections on applying for graduate school collegiality grants the conference circuit and publishing have been retained in similar form In these sections wersquove added content about accessibility (use the mic) social media publishing for a general audience and financial survival Other sections are relatively new reflecting an expanded understanding of what a historian can be and where they can work Yoursquoll find a more extensive section on career outcomes which includes advice from working historians profiles and sample CVs

BAH 30 is a manual by historians-for historians and doesnrsquot seek to answer the big picture questions facing universities In our con-sultations CHA graduate student members expressed frustration about PhD enrolments precarity and the concept of ldquoalt acrdquo work We donrsquot address these issues directly in the manual We do how-ever try to reflect a reality with which universities continue to grapple most MA and PhD prepared scholars will work outside the academy

As editors we stand on the shoulders of the previous generations of editors Molly Ladd-Taylor and Franca Iacovetta as well as numerous CHA members who dedicated their time to the man-ual Their evergreen advice forms of the basis of what yoursquoll find in the new edition Like the historians who came before us we took up the task not because wersquore career experts but because we want to give students a personal and experiential perspective on working in history

At Congress 2020 wersquoll launch the guide in a panel session co-or-ganized with the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences At the session wersquoll share our experience bringing the new edition together with other academic associations Look out for the ses-sion in your Congress 2020 manual

History Beyond the Classroom

Lrsquohistoire agrave lrsquoexteacuterieur de la salle de classe

Ce texte est le troisiegraveme texte publieacute dans Intersections par le Laboratoire drsquohistoire et de patrimoine de Montreacuteal (LHPM) de lrsquoUQAM qui avait organiseacute une seacuteance reacuteunissant des commu-nications teacutemoignant drsquoexpeacuteriences de recherche partenariales de lrsquoeacutequipe au Congregraves de 2019 Les deux preacuteceacutedents qui ont eacuteteacute soumis par Joanne Burgess (deacutepartement drsquohistoire lrsquoUQAgraveM) ont eacuteteacute publieacutes dans le numeacutero 23 lrsquoautomne dernier

En 1875 lrsquoingeacutenieur drsquoorigine britannique Charles E Goad amor-ccedilait au Canada la production drsquoun genre cartographique dont il ne soupccedilonnait probablement pas tout lrsquointeacuterecirct pour la recherche historique un siegravecle plus tard Les plans que lui et ses successeurs ont creacuteeacutes devaient alors aider les compagnies drsquoassurance agrave eacuteva-luer les risques drsquoincendie des bacirctiments assureacutes La composition des bacirctiments et leur disposition inteacuteressaient particuliegraverement les compagnies drsquoassurance qui ont fait usage de renseignements tels que lrsquousage des bacirctiments les mateacuteriaux de construction le nombre drsquoeacutetages la preacutesence de reacuteservoirs agrave combustible etc

Une meacutecanique srsquoest peaufineacutee avec le temps pour permettre aux firmes de cartographes de dessiner des plans aussi preacutecis que possibles Aujourdrsquohui les historiens et autres chercheurs inteacuteresseacutes par lrsquoenvironnement urbain appreacutecient ces sources cartographiques agrave grande eacutechelle qui leur permettent de mieux connaicirctre lrsquoeacutevolution du paysage bacircti de plusieurs villes cana-diennes entre les anneacutees 1880 et 1960 En raison de la preacutesence des adresses et des lignes de deacutemarcation cadastrale lrsquoinforma-tion geacuteographique peut ecirctre lieacutee agrave drsquoautres sources historiques telles les annuaires municipaux et les rocircles drsquoeacutevaluation fonciegravere

Dans ce contexte Montreacuteal a eacuteteacute minutieusement cartogra-phieacutee En raison de lrsquoeacutetendue du territoire les producteurs ont conccedilu pour cette ville un deacutecoupage factice et irreacutegulier en 21 volumes ayant chacun son propre cycle de reacuteeacutedition et sa propre carte-index Pour les non-initieacutes la consultation de ces plans eacutetait fastidieuse

Il y a quelques anneacutees une conversation srsquoest amorceacutee au sujet de ce corpus entre le personnel de Bibliothegraveque et Archives nationales du Queacutebec (BAnQ) et les membres du Laboratoire drsquohistoire et de patrimoine de Montreacuteal (LHPM) Drsquoune part les conservateurs du patrimoine souhaitaient trouver des solutions pour faciliter lrsquoaccegraves aux sources cartographiques diffuseacutees dans BAnQ numeacuterique drsquoautre part les chercheurs envisageaient exploiter les outils des humaniteacutes numeacuteriques pour interroger autrement ces sources Il a eacuteteacute convenu de faire converger les inteacuterecircts de chacun par la conception et le deacuteveloppement drsquoun

nouvel instrument de recherche moderniseacute une carte-index dynamique des plans drsquoassurance-incendie de Montreacuteal qui serait utile agrave la fois aux speacutecialistes et au grand public Le LHPM a ainsi mobiliseacute lrsquoexpertise et les outils techniques neacutecessaires

Le projet mis en branle srsquoest drsquoabord inspireacute drsquoun modegravele proposeacute par la New York Public Library Google Earth srsquoaveacuterait alors un outil de diffusion approprieacute Mais suite agrave lrsquoadoption par le LHPM drsquoune plateforme de cartographie (deacutenommeacutee SCHEMA) deacutedieacutee agrave la gestion des donneacutees geacuteomatiques il srsquoest aveacutereacute plus avan-tageux drsquoen faire usage pour le deacuteveloppement de la nouvelle carte-index Les couches geacuteoreacutefeacuterenceacutees pouvaient ainsi ecirctre partageacutees entre diffeacuterents projets du Laboratoire et les techno-logies HTML 5 sur lesquelles reposent SCHEMA permettaient aux usagers drsquoacceacuteder agrave lrsquoapplication sans avoir agrave installer Google Earth ou tout autre module externe Les plans geacuteoreacutefeacuterenceacutes et lrsquoapplication de la carte-index sont ainsi heacutebergeacutes sur les serveurs de lrsquoUQAM et accessibles agrave partir de la plateforme de BAnQ numeacuterique Les volumes et les planches sont de plus associeacutees agrave leurs fiches respectives de BAnQ numeacuterique ce qui permet aux usagers de passer directement de la carte-index aux documents numeacuteriseacutes agrave des fins de consultation ou de teacuteleacutechargement

Apregraves une longue phase de geacuteoreacutefeacuterencement des plans une carte-index a eacuteteacute rendue publique au printemps 2018 sur la plate-forme de BAnQ numeacuterique La reacuteponse favorable des publics en teacutemoigne la collaboration ici a eacuteteacute non seulement fructueuse mais aussi neacutecessaire

We encounter the question on a regular basis ndash why donrsquot archives just digitize everything You wouldnrsquot have to fill up so much physi-cal space if you did that And everyone would have access Well yes hellip and no Digitization isnrsquot nearly as straightforward as those not doing it would have you believe

There was a point in time where digitization grants were all the rage I will readily admit to seeking this funding as often as possible but with an ulterior motive What I wanted (and what my institution needed) was capacity new servers with redundant storage to secure against hard drive failures backup power and more This was all in support of a much bigger plan hellip digital preservation infrastructure

The intention of grants was to expose more of the ldquohiddenrdquo holdings of archives libraries and museums For end-users (researchers) digitization is viewed as a panacea ndash search and discovery could be only a Google search away At best archives have been able to prioritize their most often consulted collections and make them available to the public For Queenrsquos University Archives our photo-graphs genealogical files and university publications have topped the list ndash and this has certainly paid dividends A prime example is one of our earliest forays into mass digitization the family files of Dr HC Burleigh

Dr Burleigh was a local physician who as folk sources recount would spend 15 minutes on a house call and 45 minutes discussing family history (but not of a medical nature) The rich genealogi-cal files he created have been some of the most often consulted by researchers seeking their Loyalist lineages Prior to the digitiza-tion of these files between 2012 and 2014 Queenrsquos Archives would field anywhere from 250 to 500 requests per year for any part of the collection Since making these files available through the Inter-net Archive the average year results in around 210000 views of all files (or 200 views per file per year) Conversely phone email and in-person requests for these files have been almost non-existent over the past 5 years

Digitization for Access

Outside of the largest institutions digitization is normally one of many jobs an archivist has The act of scanning a photograph for example can occupy anywhere from a few seconds to a few min-utes and the real value comes from making it discoverable This includes adding metadata to provide context to the material and ensuring the scans can be managed over time But what does digiti-zation often miss Serendipity

Researchers arrive at the archives with a general idea of what they are seeking but tangents can often lead to greater discovery In the dig-ital representation of this material this all depends on how archives represent the relationships between their digitized materials We can mimic original order (the order in which records are found in a file and in which files are found in a box or elsewhere) but that also requires digitizing every page in every file and providing descrip-tion adequate enough to represent its place in the files With infinite time money and staff this may be feasible Most recently we com-pleted the digitization and description of the entirety of the John Buchan fonds a feat that took one full-time archivist eight months

to scan and describe This represents 76 m of over 10 km of records held in our institution ndash now we just have 9993 km to go

Digitization for Preservation

The idea that archives can digitize their records to better preserve the originals is fraught at best and myopic at worst Over time physically handling material can indeed wear the paper expose the acetate negatives to suboptimal temperatures among a host of other risks These risks are typically mitigated by storing the records in secure humidity and climate-controlled vaults and ensuring that researchers are aware of any handling precautions (that and itrsquos bet-ter than continuing to be stored in an attic or dank basement for another 20 years)

There are rare instances when digitization could be relied on as a means of preservation Special media such as magnetic tape (audio and video) is at imminent risk of obsolescence and archives should be actively planning to convert such media to new formats just to keep them accessible Obviously therersquos enough equipment float-ing around on eBay and elsewhere to keep VHS and audio cassettes running for the next decade But older Beta formats for example are at greater risk - both for hardware scarcity and for format degra-dation - and migrating these to a more widely supported format is key In these cases digitization makes perfect sense although now we set a new clock running - that of digital obsolescence

Digital obsolescence appears both through software and through hardware Software obsolescence is the expiry of older file formats and can be overcome by migrating to either newer more widely adopted formats or to recognized open formats suitable for long-term preservation (or both) We see hardware obsolescence in the floppy disks CD-Rs and zip disks of yesteryear and like their magnetic ana-log cousins time availability of equipment (and occasionally bit rot) prevent us from accessing and migrating this data Through the early intervention of the archivist digital forensics techniques and solid preservation planning we can hope to rescue and maintain these files for the future The process will need then to repeat itself every 5 to 10 years and requires plenty of disk space to store

Storage is cheap hellip unless you are managing digital assets for long term preservation When people speak of how inexpensive digital storage is they often mean they can pick up a terabyte hard drive for $100 This will suffice to store something for the short term but the risk increases the longer these records remain on an unmonitored and non-redundant storage device That means archival digital storage needs to be replicated and the integrity of the files checked regularly over time

We continue to digitize because we know our researchers want access and we also need to preserve key at-risk materials As the world digitalizes (moves from analog to digital processes) archives cannot escape this current But we do so with the full knowledge of whatrsquos at stake and what we need to do to ensure our years of hard work persist for future generations That is we act as archives always have ndash in timeless service to history

Jrsquoai grandi agrave Fort Chambly au Queacutebec et quand jrsquoeacutetais jeune gar-ccedilon jrsquoai quelques fois entendu des histoires sur lrsquoinvention de George Foote Foss (mon grand-pegravere) Parfois jrsquoeacutecoutais ces his-toires de mon pegravere qui partageait les deacutetails avec les amis et les voisins qui venaient agrave la maison Cependant crsquoest mon grand-pegravere qui en parlait le plus souvent car nous lui rendions souvent visite Je me souviens affectueusement de lui moi assis sur un pouf pregraves de ses pieds alors qursquoil srsquoasseyait dans sa grande chaise confortable racontant les eacutetapes qursquoil avait franchies en brico-lant en planifiant et finalement en construisant une automobile agrave moteur agrave essence qui est devenue la premiegravere au Canada - appeleacutee par la suite la laquo Fossmobile raquo

Au deacutebut des anneacutees 1960 (je nrsquoavais que 7 ans) je me souviens du regain drsquointeacuterecirct qursquoil y a eu pour ses reacutealisations Crsquoest agrave cette occasion qursquoil srsquoest vu deacutecerner deux titres de membre hono-raire lrsquoun du Vintage Automobile Club of Montreal (VACM) et lrsquoautre du prestigieux Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) Seulement deux Canadiens ont reccedilu ce dernier hon-neur Lrsquoautre eacutetant le colonel Robert Samuel McLaughlin qui a fondeacute la McLaughlin Motor Car Company en 1907 lrsquoun des pre-miers grands constructeurs automobiles au Canada

As a young boy growing up in Fort Chambly Quebec I would from time to time hear stories of George Foote Fossrsquo (my grand-fatherrsquos) invention At times I would overhear these stories as my father shared the details with friends and neighbours who were visiting our home However the stories most often came directly from my grandfather as we visited him frequently I recall him fondly while sitting on a footstool near his feet as he sat in his large comfortable chair recounting the steps he took in tinkering planning and ultimately building a gasoline engine automobile which was to be the first in Canada ndash later dubbed ldquoThe Fossmobilerdquo

In the early 1960s (I was only about age 7) there was a flurry of renewed interest in his accomplishment It was then that he was presented with two honorary memberships one from the Vin-tage Automobile Club of Montreal (VACM) and the other from the prestigious Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) Only two Canadians have ever received this latter honour The other recipient being Colonel Robert Samuel McLaughlin who started the McLaughlin Motor Car Company in 1907 - one of the first major automobile manufacturers in Canada

With these two initiatives there came a swarm of media attention and I can recall being shown newspaper clippings many of which I still have in my possession today Not only were there photo-graphs and articles written about his honorary memberships but many of the local papers also reprinted his earlier writing of


honoraire et de nombreux journaux locaux ont eacutegale-ment reacuteimprimeacute certains de ses eacutecrits dont laquo The True Story of a Small Town Boy raquo qui avait eacuteteacute publieacute en 1954 dans le Sherbrooke Daily Record

Le fait drsquoavoir un membre de la famille ayant une importance historique signifie que la plupart de ses descendants ont fini par utiliser son histoire drsquoinven-tion et les diverses publications agrave ce sujet comme sujet pour des projets scolaires Je me souviens drsquoavoir utiliseacute son histoire pour lrsquoun de mes propres projets sco-laires Mes deux enfants lrsquoont fait aussi et il y a tout juste un an ma petite-fille de 6 ans a eacutegalement fait une preacutesentation agrave son eacutecole sur lrsquoinvention de son arriegravere-arriegravere-arriegravere-grand-pegravere

On me demande souvent si mon grand-pegravere avait deacutejagrave dit avoir regretteacute de ne pas srsquoecirctre associeacute agrave Ford ou de ne pas avoir produit son invention en seacuterie Drsquoapregraves ce que je me souviens lrsquoavoir entendu dire il nrsquoen avait aucun Il jouissait drsquoune vie simple et

George Foote Foss (30 septembre 1876 - 23 novembre 1968) eacutetait meacutecanicien forgeron technicien de veacutelos et inven-teur originaire de Sherbrooke au Queacutebec Au cours de lrsquohiver 1896 il met au point une automobile monocylindre agrave essence de quatre chevaux-vapeur Au printemps 1897 il termine son invention la premiegravere automobile agrave essence construite au Canada qursquoon appellera plus tard la laquo Fossmobile raquo

Crsquoest au deacutebut de 1896 lors drsquoun voyage agrave Boston au Mas-sachusetts pour acheter un tour agrave tourelle pour son atelier drsquousinage en expansion que mon grand-pegravere vit ses premiegraveres automobiles Ces voitures des Brougham eacutelectriques eacutetaient loueacutees au taux de 400 $ lrsquoheure Il en a loueacute une mais mal-heureusement apregraves seulement une demi-heure de trajet les batteries sont mortes De retour agrave Sherbrooke il deacutecide de construire une automobile qui reacuteglerait ce genre de problegraveme

Mon grand-pegravere a conduit sa voiture agrave Sherbrooke pendant quatre ans Plus tard il srsquoest installeacute agrave Montreacuteal ougrave la voiture est resteacutee inutiliseacutee pendant un an avant de la vendre pour 75 $ en 1902 Auparavant il avait refuseacute une offre de partenariat avec Henry Ford qui a ensuite creacuteeacute la Ford Motor Company Il a refuseacute celle-ci car il croyait que le Quadricycle de Ford eacutetait infeacuterieur agrave la Fossmobile Il a eacutegalement refuseacute un soutien financier pour la production en seacuterie de la Fossmobile invo-quant son inexpeacuterience dans ce domaine car il nrsquoavait que 21 ans agrave lrsquoeacutepoque

George Foote Foss (September 30 1876 ndash November 23 1968) was a mechanic blacksmith bicycle repair-man and inventor from Sherbrooke Quebec During the winter of 1896 he developed a four-horsepower single-cylinder gasoline powered automobile In the spring of 1897 he

completed his invention the first gasoline-powered automobile to be built in Canada which was later referred to as the ldquoFossmobilerdquo

It was in early 1896 during a trip to Boston Massachusetts there to buy a turret lathe for his expanding machine shop that my grandfa-ther saw automobiles for the first time These cars electrically driven broughams were rented out for $400 an hour He rented one but unfortunately after a ride of only half an hour the batteries died Returning to Sherbrooke he decided to build an automobile that would address this sort of problem

My grandfather drove his car in and around Sherbrooke Quebec for four years He later moved to Montreal where the car sat idle for a year before he sold it for $75 in 1902 He had previously turned down an offer to partner with Henry Ford who went on to form the Ford Motor Company He turned down the offer as he believed Fordrsquos Quadricycle vehicle to be inferior to the Fossmobile He also turned down financial backing to mass-produce the Fossmobile citing his inexperience to do so as he was only 21 years old at the time

ldquoThe True Story of a Small Town Boyrdquo originally published in The Sherbrooke Daily Record in 1954

Having a relative with historical significance meant that most of his descendants have ended up using his inven-tion story and the various publications about it as a topic for school projects I used it for one of my school proj-ects as did both of my two children and just a year ago my 6-year-old granddaughter did a ldquoshow and tellrdquo at her

school about her great-great grandfatherrsquos invention

I am often asked if I know if my grandfather had expressed any regrets about not partnering with Ford or not mass-producing his invention From what I remember he never did He enjoyed a simple life and

I heard him say on more than one occasion that ldquoyou donrsquot live a long life with the stresses of running a big

businessrdquo He passed away at age 92 so perhaps his the-ory was right at least for him

Recently I re-opened the Foss family archives to better understand and accurately document my


il a mentionneacute plus drsquoune fois laquo On ne vit pas longtemps avec le stress de diriger une grande entreprise raquo Il est deacuteceacutedeacute agrave lrsquoacircge de 92 ans alors peut-ecirctre que sa theacuteorie eacutetait bonne du moins pour lui

Jrsquoai reacutecemment fait des recherches dans les archives de la famille Foss pour mieux comprendre et documenter les reacutealisations remarquables de mon grand-pegravere Mon objectif eacutetait de trouver des moyens de partager cet eacuteveacutenement historique canadien avec les passionneacutes de lrsquoautomobile les historiens et les geacuteneacuterations futures Agrave cette fin jrsquoai creacuteeacute laquo Fossmobile Enterprises raquo pour geacuteneacuterer des reacuteseaux favoriser la collaboration et partager ces souvenirs historiques importants

En tant que petit-fils de George Foss jrsquoai parleacute avec des visionnaires et je sollicite lrsquoaide drsquoautres experts potentiels en restauration de vieilles automobiles pour un projet tregraves speacute-cial Lrsquoobjectif est drsquoutiliser la reacutetroingeacutenierie (la reproduction drsquoun produit drsquoun inventeur ou drsquoun fabricant) pour creacuteer une laquo automobile hommage raquo en srsquoinspirant le plus possible des speacutecifications de lrsquoinvention de George Foss de la premiegravere auto-mobile agrave essence construite au Canada la Fossmobile Il nrsquoexiste plus de dessins originaux donc cette automobile hommage sera baseacutee uniquement sur un examen deacutetailleacute des photos originales de la Fossmobile

Jrsquoai commenceacute le processus drsquoacquisition de piegraveces drsquoautomobile de lrsquoeacutepoque dans lrsquoespoir de construire cette automobile en ne reproduisant des piegraveces que lorsqursquoil est absolument neacutecessaire de le faire Je superviserai ce processus et collaborerai avec des historiens et des experts de lrsquoautomobile En cours de route le voyage sera documenteacute tout en srsquoassurant du souci du deacutetail

Lrsquoespoir est drsquohonorer lrsquoheacuteritage de mon grand-pegravere et de mettre en lumiegravere ce chapitre important de lrsquohistoire canadienne Une fois termineacutee cette automobile hommage sera lrsquoincarnation tan-gible de la premiegravere voiture agrave essence construite au Canada Il y a un inteacuterecirct croissant pour la preacutesentation de la Fossmobile com-plegravete dans les salons automobiles classiques Toutefois elle sera eacuteventuellement remise agrave un museacutee canadien afin drsquoameacuteliorer lrsquoeacuteducation historique pour les geacuteneacuterations actuelles et futures

grandfatherrsquos remarkable accomplishment My objective is to find ways to share this historic Canadian event with automotive enthusiasts historians and future generations of Canadians To this end I have established ldquoFossmobile Enterprisesrdquo as a means to build networks foster collaboration and share important his-torical memorabilia

As George Fossrsquo grandson I have talked with some visionaries and am seeking the help of other potential experts in ldquoVintage Automobile Restorationrdquo for a very special project The goal is to use reverse engineering (the reproduction of an inventor or manufacturerrsquos product) to create a ldquoTribute Automobilerdquo emulating as closely as possible the specifications of George Fossrsquo invention of the first gasoline powered automobile built in Canada the Fossmobile There are no original drawings so the Tribute Automobile will have to be based solely on detailed scru-tiny of original Fossmobile photos

I have begun the process of acquiring vintage parts from the era with the hope of building this automobile replicating parts only when it is absolutely necessary to do so I will provide oversight for this process and collaborate with automobile historians and experts Along the way the journey will be documented while ensuring attention to detail

The hope is to honour my grandfatherrsquos legacy and bring to greater light this significant chapter of Canadian history With its completion this Tribute Automobile will be a tangible embodiment of the first gasoline car built in Canada There is a growing interest in showcasing the completed Tribute Fossmo-bile in classic automobile shows However it will eventually be donated to a Canadian museum to enhance historic education for current and future generations

Richard Allen

Richard Allen lived his scholarship politics and passions as an integrated whole A historian social activist and teacher of immense intelligence integrity compassion and decency Rich-ard passed away in March of 2019 just as his most recent book of essays Beyond the Noise of Solemn Assemblies The Protes-tant Ethic and the Quest for Social Justice in Canada was to be launched

The son of a United Church Minister Richard grew up surrounded by discussions of the intellectual questions that would come to preoccupy much of his writing the role of reli-gious belief in fostering social justice onersquos duty to human-ity the role of spirituality in our daily lives After degrees at University of Toronto and University of Saskatchewan and time working with the Stu-dent Christian Movement he earned a doctorate from Duke University He subsequently taught at the University of Regina (1964-73) and at McMaster (1973-87) Richardrsquos PhD disserta-tion became his first book The Social Passion a landmark study that remains a preeminent treatment of the social gospel in Can-ada The book situated its subject within transnational religious philosophical debates while offering an in-depth analysis of the emergence growth and decline of the social gospel across Can-ada Characterized by extensive archival research and a breadth of vision that was remarkable The Social Passion empathized with historical actors while still holding them up to scholarly scrutiny It was a balancing act that I respected and that he also conveyed in his graduate teaching

I was lucky to be one of his McMaster PhD students Richard did not advertise himself as a feminist but his quiet unrelent-ing professional support (at a time when academe was not that friendly to feminists) sustained me ndash indeed his encouragement was one reason I pursued a PhD Richard mentored by example He always engaged critically but with a spirit of tolerance and respect We had some significant political differences but his role was not to change my mind but rather offer feedback that would help me become the very best scholar possible

Richard was also absolutely committed to an English-French dialogue and a bilingual Canada in 1977-78 he spent a year in Montreal with his wife Nettie and their two sons Philip and Dan-iel learning French In 1982 his new research on Salem Bland

a leading social gospel intellectual was interrupted by a distin-guished political career Richard was elected an NDP MPP for Hamilton West in 1982 and served in the Legislature until 1995 including five years as a Cabinet Minister in the Bob Rae NDP government Richardrsquos commitment to social democracy was inseparable from his spiritual outlook and scholarly interests He was a tireless advocate for the disenfranchised and vulner-able a critic of inequality and intolerance and a firm believer in the possibility of a peaceful transition to a more just society After he left the legislature his engagements seemed to multi-ply he championed a progressive vision within the United Church was an enthusiastic pro-moter of the arts and he worked for countless social justice causes in Hamilton and beyond

Nor did Richard ever retire from scholarship Although he increasingly dealt with sight prob-lems he dedicated himself anew to research and writing producing the first volume on Salem Bland A View From the Murney Tower Salem Bland the Late-Victorian Controver-sies and the Search for a New Christianity An erudite combination of religious intellectual history and biography it traced the emergence of Blandrsquos vision of faith in the service of a more just Christian world When he passed away Richard was working on volume two of the Salem Bland biography as well as a memoir His wife of 52 years Nettie a true soulmate passed away in 2016 a diffi-cult blow for Richard

At Richardrsquos memorial in Hamilton I was struck by the common sentiments expressed by family and colleagues They stressed the qualities we all identified with Richard his inquisitive inci-sive mind love of scholarship and his compassion decency humanity Richard lived that humanity in both personal and social ways earning the esteem of all those whom he touched I will never forget volunteering for his first by-election in 1982 I worked with Liberal and Conservative scrutineers and as the votes were counted the other two women seemed positively secretly delighted he had defeated their candidates I suspect they might have secretly voted for him That was the kind of respect Richard elicited throughout all his careers

John Herd Thompson

John Herd Thompson passed away on 13 July 2019 following a diag-nosis of lung cancer Over the course of a career that spanned more than forty years John pro-duced a rich body of work marked by elegant writing a deep appre-ciation of place and a wariness of pat stereotypes A historian of the Prairie West who spent the bulk of his career in the east a Cana-dianist based for over two decades in the United States and a scholar who viewed the past through the bifocals of region and transna-tionalism John addressed historical questions from unexpected angles Along the way he taught dozens of graduate students to do the same

Born in Winnipeg in 1946 John received his bachelorrsquos degree from the University of Winnipeg in 1968 and his masterrsquos from the University of Manitoba the following year He soon became known to his fellow Western Canadian historians as a scholar and enthusiastic conference attendee Based on his MA thesis he presented a well-received paper on Prohibition in Manitoba at the Western Canadian Studies Conference at the University of Calgary in 19721 He was then attending Queenrsquos University which granted his PhD in 1975 Already a lecturer at McGill he was immediately promoted to assistant professor John taught at McGill for eighteen years until he moved to Duke University in 1989 where he would teach for another twenty-three John var-iously held visiting professorships at SFU (while at McGill) and at the University of Alberta (while at Duke)

Although his permanent academic appointments were in central Canada and the southeastern United States Johnrsquos scholarly interests grew from and remained rooted in region and in the West His 1975 dissertation at Queenrsquos University under the direc-tion of Roger Graham which became his first book The Harvests of War was about World War I in the Prairie West

1 It was published as JH Thompson ldquoThe Voice of Moderation the Defeat of Prohibition in Manitobardquo 170-190 in The Twenties in Western Canada (Ottawa National Museum of Man 1972) ed Susan M Tro-fimenkoff

and won the Canadian Historical Associationrsquos regional history book prize2 From the 1970s through the 1990s he wrote a series of articles on agriculture and agricultural labour and in 1998 he published Forging the Prairie West in Oxfordrsquos Illustrated History of Canada series3 His interest in the West was not confined to the prairies Seven years later came British Columbia Land of Promises in the same series co-written with Patricia E Roy4

Johnrsquos commitment to region was one of several ways he chal-lenged students and colleagues alike to think outside the national box He likewise had an early and enduring interest in trans-national history His very first published scholarship explored links between American muckrakers and reformers in Western Canada5 He later returned his attention to CanadandashUS relations most famously in a textbook on the topic that he wrote with Ste-phen J Randall but also in a series of articles and book chapters6

John certainly did not eschew the nation altogether Notably he co-authored with Allen Seager Decades of Discord a history of the interwar period in McClelland and Stewartrsquos Canadian Centenary Series7 It was nominated for the Governor Generalrsquos Award for English-language non-fiction

Diverse as the topics of these publications are an overarch-ing theme is clear that a unified Canadian history national-ist by its nature is insufficient in that it hides both regional specificities and cross-border commonalities The range of Johnrsquos publications also reflect his interest in the relationships among international trans-national and cross-national histories in the use explana-tion and citation of images not

merely as illustration but as evidence and in the synthesis and dissemination of accessible historical narratives

Johnrsquos public-facing stance was apparent in other ways as well While at McGill John ran for parliament as a New Democrat in Saint-Henri-Westmount in 1984 his 5889 votes (almost 15 of the ballots) were at the time he would later recall the largest number of votes the NDP won in Quebec that year He helped shape national discourse more successfully during his fourteen years as a historical consultant for the Heritage Minutes series

On the strength of Decades of Discord Duke University recruited John in 1989 to continue its traditional expertise in Canadian history As History Department chair and later director of graduate studies he helped build the departmentrsquos strength in Western history and led a significant revamping of the gradu-ate program He also served as director of Canadian and later North American Studies Although he eventually became an American citizen he never gave up his Canadian citizenship He loved to tell the story of how he crossed his fingers behind his back when he had to renounce allegiance to Queen Elizabeth II during his US naturalization ceremony reveled in driving around Durham with the punny license plate ldquoCANAJIN-Ardquo and was a proud supporter of Dukersquos ice hockey teams

Johnrsquos career was distinguished by his commitment to graduate student mentorship and training John supervised thirty-three MA theses and nineteen doctoral dissertations (including those of two of the three authors here) Many more students beyond

7 J H Thompson with Allen Seager Canada 1922ndash1939 Decades of Discord (Toronto McClelland and Stewart 1985)

those he formally supervised (the other present author included) considered him a mentor All Johnrsquos students benefited from his gentle and generous style of graduate mentorship They learned about the importance and craft of fine writing from Johnrsquos exem-plary prose and talented editorial eye Johnrsquos influence extends through his former graduate students to the colleges universi-ties and government agencies across Canada and the US where many of them now teach research write and work

After retiring from Duke on Canada Day 2012 John moved to New Westminster British Columbia and wintered in Puerto Vallarta Mexico In retirement he continued research projects on the transnational history of the North American Plains and avid fan that he was on the history of baseball He also lent his expertise as a volunteer for provincial and federal NDP candi-dates in Greater Vancouver

John took immense satisfaction watching news of the 2011 ldquoOrange Waverdquomdashwhich elected several young NDP candidates who never dreamed they would winmdashcome in from Quebec And it is tempting to imagine how things might have been dif-ferent had something like the Orange Wave happened during the Liberal collapse of 1984 John may not have influenced Canada from Parliament Hill but he helped shape decades of popular and scholarly conceptions of Canadian history through his writing public history work and teaching
