Power of Attorney of Colonel John Butler for Robert Hamilton and Robert Addison, January 4,1797

John Butler (1728-1796) was originally from Connecticut but settled with his family in the Mohawk valley of New York around 1742. His father was a Captain in the British army and well acquainted with William Johnson (superintendent of Northern Indians). Butler impressed Johnson with his aptitude for Indian languages and diplomacy. He began to work with Johnson in 1755, and received several promotions in the department, until his apparent retirement in the early 1770s. At the onset of the Revolutionary War in 1775, Butler relocated to Canada to join the British forces, settling in Niagara. During the War, Butler was instrumental in maintaining the alliance with the Indians. After the War, Butler became prominent in local affairs in Niagara, but failed to secure any important offices when the province of Upper Canada was formed in 1792. In an effort to recoup some of the financial losses his family suffered during the War, Butler illegally attempted to supply trade goods to the Indian department with his son Andrew, his nephew Walter Butler Sheehan, and Samuel Street, a Niagara merchant.

Quand foi et culture se rencontrent. Un exemple de valorisation des sciences humaines à l'Université de Montréal

L'élargissement de la théologie vers les sciences religieuses implique un réajustement des collections des bibliothèques en sciences humaines. La Direction des bibliothèques de l'Université de Montréal a compris la nécessité de ce virage en participant, de concert avec la Faculté de théologie et les secteurs d'études classiques et études médiévales, à l'acquisition des ressources documentaires nécessaires au maintien de collections déjà bien garnies. De l'imprimé aux documents électroniques, rien n'a été négligé pour assurer la survie de ces collections et contribuer ainsi à l'enrichissement des sciences humaines et sociales. L'article expose les différentes stratégies mises en place pour y parvenir depuis 1990 et illustre le projet d'exemples concrets.
