Welland Canal Survey of Lands Nathan Pawling 1826; includes map and text.

Survey map and description of Nathan Pawling's land created by The Welland Canal Company. Included is a written description of the land along with a drawing of the land. Noteable features include; the dock, pier and tow path. The original bed of 12 mile creek is also noted on the map. Surveyor notes are seen in pencil on the map. The map notes the division of land between Pawling and Robert Brown's land. Click on 'detail' to see Map.

The Impact of a Text-Reader Support Program on Intermediate Students' Reading Comprehension

This study examined the efficacy of providing four Grade 7 and 8 students with reading difficulties with explicit instruction in the use of reading comprehension strategies while using text-reader software. Specifically, the study explored participants' combined use of a text-reader and question-answering comprehension strategy during a 6-week instructional program. Using a qualitative case study methodology approach, participants' experiences using text-reader software, with the presence of explicit instruction in evidence-based reading comprehension strategies, were examined. The study involved three phases: (a) the first phase consisted of individual interviews with the participants and their parents; (b) the second phase consisted of a nine session course; and (c) the third phase consisted of individual exit interviews and a focus group discussion. After the data collection phases were completed, data were analyzed and coded for emerging themes, with-quantitativ,e measures of participants' reading performance used as descriptive data. The data suggested that assistive technology can serve as an instructional "hook", motivating students to engage actively in the reading processes, especially when accompanied by explicit strategy instruction. Participants' experiences also reflected development of strategy use and use of text-reader software and the importance of social interactions in developing reading comprehension skills. The findings of this study support the view that the integration of instruction using evidence-based practices are important and vital components in the inclusion oftext-reader software as part of students' educational programming. Also, the findings from this study can be extended to develop in-class programming for students using text-reader software.

Glacial stratigraphy and micromorphology of the Pine Point Pb-­‐Zn mining district, Northwest Territories

This investigation aims to gain a better understanding of the glacial history of the Pine Point Mining district, Northwest Territories, by examining the sedimentological properties of the glacial sediments including, geochemical analysis, heavy mineral concentrate analysis, clast macro-­‐fabrics, pebble lithologies, and micromorphological investigation. Four till units were identified, and three were associated with identified erosional bedrock features and streamlined landforms in the area, indicating a minimum of three ice flow directions. Sedimentological properties suggest that these units were all Type-­B tectomict/mélange till, emplaced as part of a soft subglacial deformable bed. The lack of ice-­‐marginal advance and retreat sequences within the studied till, suggests the Middle Wisconsinan Laurentide Ice margin was likely north and west of the Pine Point area, as opposed to along the margin of the Canadian Shield and Western Sedimentary Basin where it has been suggested to have existed.

The Birthday Scripture Text Book

The Birthday Scripture Text book was published by the Book Society, Bristol. This book is signed by Jane Woodruff, St. Catharines, Ontario, 1872. There is also a label in the book which reads "Suite 1208 Chicago Savings Bank Building State and Madison Streets, Chicago". The book measures 10.5cm x 7cm and has a leather cover with metal trim. The clasp is no longer on the book. Some of the pages are stained and all of the pages are falling out. Many of the pages have handwritten birthday, births and death notices. The full text is available in the Brock University Special Collections and Archives.

Using Ancillary Text to Index Web-based Multimedia Objects

PériCulture est le nom d'un projet de recherche à l'Université de Montréal qui fait partie d'un projet plus vaste basé à l'Université de Sherbrooke. Ce dernier visait à former un réseau de recherche pour la gestion du contenu culturel numérique canadien. L'objectif général de la recherche de PériCulture était d'étudier les méthodes d'indexation de contenus culturels non textuels sur le Web, plus spécifiquement des images. Les résultats de la recherche présentés ici s'appuient sur des travaux précédents en indexation d'images et en indexation automatique (de texte), par l'étude des propriétés du texte associé à des images dans un environnement réseau. Le but était de comprendre la façon dont le texte associé à des images sur des pages Web (appelé péritexte) peut être exploité pour indexer les images correspondantes. Nous avons étudié cette question dans le contexte de pages Web sélectionnées, c'est à dire : des pages de contenu culturel canadien contenant des objets multimédia auxquels était associé du texte (plus que simplement les noms de fichiers et les légendes) et qui étaient bilingues (anglais et français). Nous avons identifié les mots-clés utiles à l'indexation situés à proximité de l'objet décrit. Les termes d'indexation potentiels ont été identifiés dans diverses balises HTML et dans le texte intégral (chacun étant considéré comme une source différente de péritexte). Notre étude a révélé qu'un grand nombre de termes d'indexation utiles sont disponibles dans le péritexte de nombreux sites Web ayant un contenu culturel, et ce péritexte de différentes sources a une utilité variable dans la recherche d’information. Nos résultats suggèrent que ces termes peuvent être exploités de différentes manières dans les systèmes de recherche d’information pour améliorer les résultats de recherche.
