SUMMARY:Her Story: Trailblazers of Guelph and Wellington County
DESCRIPTION:In fall 2019\, the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) approached Guelph Museums about an exhibition that would mark the 75th anniversary of CFUW Guelph. Through the stories of local women\, who fought for the advancement of the status of women\, the exhibition began to take shape. The goal was to write the history of Her Story and to share women’s legacies in Guelph\, past and present. \nThen\, in March 2020\, the Covid-19 pandemic forced the temporary closure of Guelph Museums. What began as a display in the museum became a major research project and a virtual exhibition. \nCFUW Guelph sought a partnership with the Community Engaged Scholarship Institute and the College of Arts at the University of Guelph. Under the guidance of Professor Catherine Carstairs\, nine students undertook the research and writing and the Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory agreed to host the virtual exhibition. \nHer Story: Trailblazers of Guelph and Wellington County celebrates women who have led the way towards a diverse and gender inclusive community. The project aimed to share the stories of cisgender women\, trans women\, two-spirit\, and gender non-conforming people. We recognize the historical barriers faced by all women. We acknowledge that Black\, Indigenous and People of Colour and LGBTQ2IA+ women have faced and continue to face even greater barriers. \nThe featured trailblazers are activists\, artists\, caregivers\, health care workers\, mothers\, politicians\, scientists\, and writers\, as well as women-led organizations. We celebrate their accomplishments. They show us that change is possible. \nHer Story: Women Trailblazers of Guelph and Wellington County Virtual Exhibition\nFeatured Trailblazers\nTito Alawode\, Kim Anderson\, Parvathi Basrur\, Lois Betteridge\, Norma Bowen\, Deanna Clatworthy\, Amy Ellard-Gray\, Karen Farbridge\, Anne Godfrey\, Adelaide Hoodless\, Gwen Jacob\, Suzy Lake\, Jean Little\, Marisse Scott\, Shakiba Shayani\, Jan Sherman\, Audny-Cashae Stewart\, Gayle Valeriote\, Marva Wisdom\, and Anne-Marie Zajdlik \nTrailblazing Organizations\nCanadian Federation of University Women – Guelph\, Chalmers Community Services\, Guelph-Wellington Women In Crisis\, The Suffrage Movement in Guelph and Wellington County\, and Zonta Club of Guelph \nStudent Researchers\nTanesha Black\, Julia Cole\, Shelby Mawson\, Sofia Mayer\, Emma Ongman\, Brittany Pompilii\, Anne Sanatagi\, Nicole Scott\, and Katrina Stephany \nAcknowledgements\nThe project benefitted from the invaluable guidance of Susan Brown\, Kim Martin\, Mihaela Ilovan\, and Thomas Smith of the Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory.

SUMMARY:Fred Hallett and The Sewing Machine Factory
DESCRIPTION:Alfred “Fred” Thomas Hallett was born in October 1863 in Lewisham\, Kent\, England – over 150 years ago! His parents\, William and Eliza\, moved their family to Canada in May 1869\, when Fred was six years old. He had seven siblings: William\, Henry\, John\, Elizabeth\, Esther\, Charles\, and Arthur. \nThe Hallett family settled in Guelph. At the age of twelve\, Fred left school to work at Raymond’s Sewing Machine Company. He operated a machine called a gear cutter. \nOn February 3\, 1879\, Fred’s hand was caught in the gear cutter. He tried to pull free\, but he lost his arm in the accident. Fred recovered from his injury and returned to work at Raymond’s Factory. He became a wheel turner\, a task that he could do with one arm. \nFred lived in Guelph until 1891. When he was 28 years old\, he moved to Chicago\, Illinois\, USA. He got married a year later. Fred and his wife Emily had four children: Hazel\, Alfred\, William\, and Anna. Their descendants continue to live in Upper State New York\, USA. \nFred’s story is a permanent fixture of the Families Gallery but this display featuring Fred Hallett\, Raymond Sewing Machine Factory and child labour in 19th century Guelph extends beyond the gallery to the second floor\, opposite from the elevator. \nThanks to local historian Bonnie Durtnall\, Labouring All Our Lives\, who discovered Fred Hallett’s story. Her research contributed greatly to this display. \nPortrait of Alfred “Fred” Hallett\, Courtesy of Tom Large.

SUMMARY:From Farmland Irrigation to Martian Exploration: 125 Years of Physics in Guelph
DESCRIPTION:“I believe the scientific farmer is going to be the farmer of the future. […] If farming is to be made a success in this country\, it has to be done on a scientific basis.” \n— J.B. Reynolds (1867-1948) \nWith that pronouncement in 1895\, the Department of Physics was born at the newly formed Ontario Agricultural College (est. 1874). Since then\, the Department of Physics at the University of Guelph has grown to become one of the most respected in Canada. With a rich history of research and a strong commitment to innovation in teaching\, Guelph Physics has come a long way since its agrarian roots.
