SUMMARY:It Happened Here: Illuminating Guelph
DESCRIPTION:Banner Image: Dining Room at American Hotel circa 1910\, 2013.72.90\, Guelph Museums \nStep out of the darkness and into the light! On this episode of It Happened Here with Education Coordinator Ken Irvine\, we’re illuminating the history of gas and electricity in Guelph\, Ontario. \n“Guelph’s town council was very eager to find some way to bring light and potential prosperity to the city. In the 1860’s\, 25 kerosene streetlamps were erected at a cost of $5.75 each\, to bring some light to the downtown. To save money they were only lit when the moon was not out. The town hall caretaker\, Mr. William Edwards\, was given the job of lighting the streetlamps. With his ladder and small 2 wheeled cart he was out every evening to light the lamps and every morning to put the lights out\, fill them with kerosene\, trim the wicks and clean the glass.” \nThis episode will premiere Thursday\, October 6\, at 7 pm on Facebook\, Instagram\, and Youtube. Tune in to learn more.

SUMMARY:History Bites: From the Vault - Uranium Glass and Marie Curie
DESCRIPTION:Marie Curie was a Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. One of the women featured in Iron Willed: Women in STEM\, Marie discovered polonium and radium\, championed the use of radiation in medicine and drastically changed our understanding of radioactivity. \nCurie’s scientific journey began by studying radiation\, recently discovered in uranium by Henri Becquerel. She found that an ore containing uranium was far more radioactive than could be explained by its uranium content. In this special episode of History Bites: From the Vault\, Visitor Experiences Assistant Anna will take you into our collection to explore the history of Uranium Glass! \nHistory Bites is a monthly series of bite-sized conversations inspired by current exhibitions and stories from the collection. \n\nWatch the episode:

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: Missing Memorials? How Canada has Commemorated the Second World War
DESCRIPTION:Banner image: King George VI and Queen Elizabeth unveiling the National War Memorial in Ottawa\, May 22\, 1939. Toronto Star Photograph Archive\, TSPA_0122512F. \nThe war memorials that dot communities across the country are the sites of the most important public ceremonies of the civic calendar. They hearken back to our history\, they help us remember our war dead\, and they help us envision the future. But they have histories of their own.  \nThis talk by Thomas Littlewood presents new research which reconsiders our understandings of these memorials\, when they were built\, and what they mean. \n\nAbout Thomas Littlewood:\nThomas Littlewood is a PhD candidate at the University of Guelph. His research considers how Canada has commemorated the Second World War. Originally from New Brunswick\, Thomas is interested in how local communities engage with their pasts—this includes commemoration\, museums\, and memory. He has degrees from Mount Allison University\, the University of New Brunswick\, and Western University. \n \nGuelph Museums’ Military Lecture series is presented in partnership with the Laurier Centre for the Study of Canada. \n \n  \n\nMissed the live event?
