Niagara Falls Handbill Collection, 1838-1886, n.d. (non-inclusive)

According to legend, the Burning Springs were discovered by early natives in the Niagara Peninsula. Bridgewater Mills was built on the site of the spring. During the excavation of the factory; workmen uncovered the spring. Samuel Street and Thomas Clark recognized the potential of this as a tourist attraction so they built a wooden shelter over the spring. The spring was covered with a barrel with a pipe protruding from it. This became the first tourist attraction at Niagara. The Cave of the Winds was a cavern located behind the Bridal Veil Fall. It was originally named the Aeolus Cave. In 1920, a sudden rock fall from the ceiling killed 3 tourists. The cave was destroyed in 1955 as it was deemed dangerous. The captain of the Maid of the Mist was usually a farmer who owned the land where the ship docked. In 1846, the first steam powered Maid of the Mist was launched. By 1848, the first suspension bridge was built over the gorge and the main purpose of the Maid of the Mist was no longer to carry people who needed to travel, but now the focus was on people who wanted to view the Falls at close range.

Autour de la Collection Baby. Présentation de la collection

L’Université de Montréal célèbre en 2006 le centenaire du don de l’une de ses plus importantes collections de manuscrits et d’imprimés canadiens : la Collection Louis-François George Baby. Comptant plus de 20 000 pièces manuscrites et environ 3 400 livres rares, gravures et estampes, cette collection constitue une source inépuisable pour les chercheurs s’intéressant à de nombreux aspects de l’histoire canadienne. Cette session permettra de mieux faire connaître la Collection Baby de même que sa diffusion sur Internet aux historiens et historiennes participant à la rencontre de l’ACFAS. Nous brosserons un tableau des différents sujets couverts par la Collection et mettant en valeur les thématiques abordées dans la collection de même que le type d’instruments de recherche mis à la disposition des chercheurs.
