J.W. Spencer fonds, 1866, 1881-1921

Joseph William Winthrop Spencer (commonly known as J.W. Spencer) was a geologist and geomorphologist best known for his work on the geology of southern Ontario and the Great Lakes. He was born in Dundas, Upper Canada in 1851, but moved to Hamilton, Ontario in 1867. In 1871, he began studies in geology at McGill College in Montreal. In 1875 he worked in the Michigan copper mines and shortly afterwards prepared a thesis on the copper deposits. He submitted this thesis to the University of Gottingen in Germany in 1877 and was awarded a doctorate in geology, the second Canadian to earn a doctorate in this field. In 1880, he became a professor of geology and chemistry at King’s College in Windsor, N.S. Subsequently, he taught at the University of Missouri, and then the University of Georgia, but moved to Washington, D.C. in 1894, where he worked as a consultant geologist. Spencer spent much of his life studying preglacial river valleys in Ontario and the origins of the Great Lakes, as well as the Niagara River and Falls. In 1907, he published a book titled The Falls of Niagara: their evolution and varying relations to the Great Lakes. His opinions in these areas differed from some of his contemporaries, namely the American geologist Grove Karl Gilbert. Gilbert published a review of the The Falls of Niagara that exposed some flaws and inaccuracies in Spencer’s estimate of the age of the falls. Spencer’s studies also took him to the Caribbean and Central America. In 1920 he moved back to Canada, but died the following year.

William B. Rollason was a businessman from St. Catharines. His business interests included insurance sales, real estate and housing development. He was an active Rotarian, serving as president from 1945 to 1946. He served on the Niagara Parks Commission Board from 1944 until his death in 1959. Mr. Rollason was the president of the St. Catharines Chamber of Commerce, president of the Lincoln County Conservative Association, a member of the Navy Island Peace Capital Group, vice chairman of the War Savings Committee and part owner of the Welland House Hotel in St. Catharines.

Arti decorative: Bologna e Faenza tra Ottocento e Novecento

La ricerca approfondisce gli studi iniziati dalla dott.ssa Baldini in occasione della tesi di laurea e amplia le indagini critiche avviate per la mostra sull’Aemilia Ars (2001). La ricerca si è interessata alle aree di Bologna e di Faenza individuando le connessioni che tra Otto e Novecento intercorrono tra la cultura artistica locale e quella nazionale ed europea. Nasce infatti in questo periodo Aemilia Ars, uno dei più innovativi movimenti del contesto nazionale nel campo delle arti decorative. I membri del gruppo, raccoltisi intorno alla carismatica figura di Alfonso Rubbiani nei primi anni Ottanta, sono attratti da influenze nordeuropee e sin dall’inizio si mostrano orientati a seguire precetti ruskiniani e preraffaelliti. Molto importante in entrambe le città, per l’evoluzione dello scenario artistico e artigianale – in questi anni più che mai unite in un rapporto di strettissima correlazione – è l’apporto e il sostegno offerto dai salotti, dai circoli, dai caffè e dai cenacoli locali. Dal punto di vista dello stile, forme lineari con una marcata tendenza all’astrazione caratterizzano la produzione dei principali interpreti faentini e bolognesi dell’ultimo ventennio dell’Ottocento allineandoli con le ricerche dei loro contemporanei nel resto d’Europa. I settori produttivi che si sono indagati sono quelli della ceramica, dell’ebanisteria, dei ferri battuti, dell’oreficeria, delle arti tessili e dei cuoi. Gran parte di queste lavorazioni – attardatesi nella realizzazione di oggetti dalle forme di ispirazione seicentesca, certamente poco adatte alla produzione industriale – subiscono ora una decisa accelerazione verso forme più svelte che, adeguandosi alla possibilità di riproduzione seriale degli oggetti, si diffonderanno quasi capillarmente tra l’aristocrazia e la borghesia, faticando tuttavia a raggiungere le classi meno abbienti a causa degli elevati costi di produzione. Nell’ultima parte viene tracciato sinteticamente il quadro delle attività artistiche e artigianali faentine del periodo indicato, con una particolare attenzione all’opera delle personalità afferenti al Cenacolo baccariniano.

Globally, areas categorically known to be free of human visitation are rare, but still exist in Antarctica. Such areas may be among the most pristine locations remaining on Earth and, therefore, be valuable as baselines for future comparisons with localities impacted by human activities, and as sites preserved for scientific research using increasingly sophisticated future technologies. Nevertheless, unvisited areas are becoming increasingly rare as the human footprint expands in Antarctica. Therefore, an understanding of historical and contemporary levels of visitation at locations across Antarctica is essential to a) estimate likely cumulative environmental impact, b) identify regions that may have been impacted by non-native species introductions, and c) inform the future designation of protected areas under the Antarctic Treaty System. Currently, records of Antarctic tourist visits exist, but little detailed information is readily available on the spatial and temporal distribution of national governmental programme activities in Antarctica. Here we describe methods to fulfil this need. Using information within field reports and archive and science databases pertaining to the activities of the United Kingdom as an illustration, we describe the history and trends in its operational footprint in the Antarctic Peninsula since c. 1944. Based on this illustration, we suggest that these methodologies could be applied productively more generally.
