Extractions: "The official portfolio of limited edition prints for EXPO 86" Introduction When the first white man arrived in North America they found a continent already inhabited, Over thirty thousand years ago, so the historians say, the first "explorers" crossed land that is now under the Bering Strait and spread across the Americas. Over many years, these ancestors of the modern Inuit and Indian settled in different environments and became divided into numerous linguistic groups. These "native Americans" had no written language and their history was based on legends and stories passed down through the generations. The archeological evidence and oral traditions show a wide variety of lifestyles, customs and beliefs, as one can expect from such a large and diversified environment as the Americas. Even in Canada, about which "The History of Transportation" is written, the varied climate and terrain have moulded many "groups" of peoples, each very much at home and master of their world. Why the American Indians never evolved a wheeled vehicle has long been a puzzle to anthropologists. The Plains Indians had their travois, a v-shaped framework formed by tent poles with a skin tent cover tied on and household goods piled on top, the whole thing being dragged initially by a dog and later by a horse. Prior to this the Indians used the animal trails, eventually creating foot paths a foot or so wide through the forests and across the plains. Many of these footpaths later became highways and often showed the way through some of the wildest and most difficult country in Canada, the mountain passes of British Columbia.

Extractions: During 1790-91, McTavish attempted unsuccessfully to have Britain end the Hudson's Bay Company monopoly. Efforts to lease transit rights from the HBC were later rejected as well. The only remaining options were to enhance the direct rivalry with the English, who were extending their own web of land posts. Through the 1790's, the North West Company prevailed. By 1795, the Nor'westers had control of over two-thirds of the Canadian fur trade. This dominance was achieved by Alexander Mackenzie's exploration of the Pacific overland in July of 1793. During 1813-1820, the Bay started its developing posts closer to the Rockies. The HBC was planning an agricultural colony in an area critical to the Nor'westers transportation and provisioning systems. The North West Company attempted to block this colony by buying Hudsons Bay Company shares in London and by discouraging future Scottish colonies . There were many bitter and costly encounters between the two companies over the Red River Colony . The Seven Oaks Incident took place on June19, 1816, was the worst conflict, making neither side a winner. There were many battles between 1815, and 1819. In June 1819, 7 North West Company partners and numerous men were captured by the Hudson's Bay Company. The Nor'westers reputation, and their business that year were ruined.

Extractions: What kind of man, at 45 years of age, slogs 60 kilometres through a Canadian January to give a lecture on icebergs? The Victorian era has endured much hostile press in recent years. Cultural mores have been challenged, essential ideas decried as "social artefacts" and the reputations of heroic idols, nearly universally male, demolished as shams. Its become a novelty to encounter the celebratory resurrection of a forgotten icon. McGoogan relates the life and accomplishments of Scotsman John Rae, who joined a Hudsons Bay Company ship as surgeon, travelled to Canada in 1833 and remained for twelve years - on the first stay. McGoogan has surveyed many of the resources dealing with Arctic exploration, but Raes own accounts provide the essential framework for this compelling narrative. The book is nearly two stories in one: Raes ranging explorations along the Canadian Arctic coast, and the mysterious disappearance of the John Franklin expedition. McGoogan keeps this paired account nicely balanced until they merge to determine Raes future reputation.

Extractions: OCLC NEWS ... EDITORIAL STAFF Like Tracy and Hepburn in the 1957 film classic, "Desk Set", the annual Joint Spring Workshop, Desk Set 1997: Partnering with Information Systems, tackled the challenges of librarian and system manager relationships. Sponsored by the Special Libraries Association; the American Society for Information Science, Potomac Valley Chapter; CAPCON Library Network; the District of Columbia Library Association (DCLA); the Federal Library and Information Center Committee (FLICC); the Law Librarians Society; and Library Management Systems of Bethesda, Maryland, this years workshop delved into the complexities of reorganizing library personnel, collections, and technology. The success of any library re-engineering process depends on the relationships between librarians and the Management Information Systems Departments (MIS). This workshop identified the implications of these relationships and suggested team building solutions for the library environment. The four workshop sessions, Scene-Setter, Snapshots from the Field, Case Studies, and Career Profile, featured personal experiences of both librarians and MIS personnel and forecast what organizations may look for in the future. Dr. Deborah Leather, Associate Vice President for Instructional Technologies and Dean of Library, Towson State University, set the stage for the workshop with the morning keynote address. She gave perspective into present and future library organizational structure and planned change as well as on an overview of current library issues and trends. According to Leather, the initial shock of the information explosion leaves libraries feeling that a technology driven environment is out of control. She countered those fears and produced a laundry list of trends libraries must follow to survive in the future.

Extractions: Welcome to the website of one of Canada's national treasures, the Hudson's Bay Company Archives (HBCA). The HBCA offers a wealth of information on the human and natural history of western and northern Canada and the western USA. Whether you are an historian, genealogist, ethnologist, environmental scientist or land claims researcher, the HBCA may be able to help. Founded in 1670, the Hudson's Bay Company's (HBC) chief interests for its first two centuries were the fur trade, exploration and settlement. After 1870, when its territory of Rupert's Land was incorporated into the Dominion of Canada, its interests became more varied. Today, as Canada's largest non-food retailer, it is best known for its national chain of department stores, the Bay and Zellers HBC's head office is located in Toronto, Ontario. In 1994, the Company and the Province of Manitoba entered into an agreement by which the archives were donated to the Province. These records are now part of the Provincial Archives of Manitoba in Winnipeg. They are administered as a separate division of the archives called the Hudson's Bay Company Archives, Provincial Archives of Manitoba. The Company manages its corporate records to its ongoing activities in Toronto, Ontario. Whether you visit the archives in person, read documents on microfilm through inter-library loan, in Canada's

http://parkscan.harbour.com/fl/blankete.htm

Extractions: Fort Langley National Historic Site Frieda Klippenstein Blankets were a very important item in the fur trade. The native peoples grew to value them for several reasons - they were warm, durable, lightweight, and easily sewn into capotes, mittens or leggings. The bright colours were popular, but the white blankets also sold well in the winter when they were useful for camouflage in the hunt. As for the traders, they were happy to see natives use blankets instead of animals skins, because they hoped more furs would then be given in trade, and more time freed to spend on trapping. Hudsons' Bay Company still sells the point blankets In his article, Charles Hanson Jr (1976) writes that point blankets are often referred to as "Hudson's Bay blankets," because the HBC has marketed them continuously since about 1780. However, he says, they didn't invent them. It appears that the French first sold "pointed blankets" and the HBC began ordering them in 1780 to better meet the competition from the Montreal traders. The HBC did especially well selling blankets because, as the fur trade correspondence shows, their specifications to the manufacturers came from the natives' own complaints and suggestions. The first Hudson's Bay Company point blankets were made in 1779 by Thomas Empson of Witney in Oxfordshire, and they have been manufactured in Whitney continuously to this day. The vast majority of the fur-trade blankets were hand-woven, as the power loom was not generally used until after 1850, and hand weavers were still active in many factories until 1900. The woven material was beaten with mallets (as in a felting process) to keep the blanket from shrinking.
