During the Second World War\, Canadian factories produced mountains of munitions and supplies\, including some 800 ships\, 16\,000 aircraft\, 800\,000 vehicles\, and over 4.6 billion rounds of ammunition and artillery shells. Although they were crucial to winning the war\, these assets turned into peacetime liabilities when hostilities ended in 1945. \nDrawing on comprehensive archival research\, Alex Souchen provides a definitive account of the disposal crisis triggered by Allied victory and shows how Canadian policymakers implemented a disposal strategy that facilitated postwar reconstruction. Canadians responded to the unprecedented divestment of public property by reusing and recycling military surpluses to improve their postwar lives. \nFrom the fear of deflating markets with surplus assets to the thriftiness of upcycling the remnants of war\, Souchen argues that the disposal of munitions and supplies was integral to the making of postwar Canada. \n\n\nThis book will appeal to military and Canadian historians and those interested in material culture and military artifacts. \n\nOffered in partnership with the Laurier Centre for Military\, Strategic and Disarmament Studies. \n  \n \n\nAbout Alex Souchen\n \nAlex Souchen is a historian specializing in warfare\, society\, and the environment in Canada\, based in Kingston. He received his PhD from the University of Western Ontario and held a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Laurier Centre for Military Strategic and Disarmament Studies. He currently holds an Associated Medical Services Postdoctoral Fellowship at Trent University’s Frost Centre for Canadian Studies and Indigenous Studies. \n  \n\nDid you miss the live event?

Canadian painter Mary Riter Hamilton blazed a trail by painting the First World War graveyards and battlefields in oil and daring to be—unofficially—Canada’s first female war artist. In 1919\, just a few months after the armistice\, she arrived overseas and worked amid harrowing conditions—inadequate shelter and food\, surroundings littered with unexploded shells. In some 320 haunting paintings\, she captured the emotional landscapes and destroyed sites where Canadian soldiers had fought. Irene Gammel will speak about the extraordinary life of this long-forgotten Canadian artist discussing how her paintings render powerful meanings as acts of witnessing. She will give insight into her own travels to Vimy Ridge\, the Somme\, and Flanders\, while ending her talk with a brief reading from her new book on the topic. \nOffered in partnership with the Laurier Centre for Military\, Strategic and Disarmament Studies. \nHow to Access:\nThe military lecture is an online event.

A woman alone after the storm had passed\, she found that her life after the war was indelibly marked by the experience. \nUndeterred by a rejection from the Canadian War Memorials Fund\, who nominated only male war artists abroad\, in 1919 Hamilton received a commission from the Amputation Club of British Columbia (now the War Amps) to commemorate those lost at war. She travelled from Victoria to the pre-reconstruction battlefields and towns of the Somme\, Vimy Ridge\, and the Ypres Salient where amid harsh conditions – inadequate shelter and food\, surroundings littered with unexploded shells – she recorded with determination\, pride\, and grace the ruins of war. Based on intensive archival research in Canada\, France\, and Belgium\, and using many previously unpublished letters\, I Can Only Paint offers an insider’s view of the artist’s vast\, underexplored body of war work and the conditions in which she created it. Irene Gammel argues that Hamilton’s work encoded a female perspective that distinguishes her paintings from the work of official Canadian war artists. \nI Can Only Paint is available for purchase through McGill-Queen’s University Press. \nAbout Irene Gammel\n \nDr. Irene Gammel is Professor of Arts\, Literature and Communication at Ryerson University and Executive Director of the Modern Literature and Culture Research Centre. A cultural critic on women’s heritage\, she researches issues of gender\, forgotten artists\, and World War I; in addition\, she leads a team on Operation Canada\, a study of the Canadian war diary. Dr. Gammel held Tier I Canada Research Chair in Modern Literature and Culture (2005 to 2018) and was inducted as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2009. She is the author and editor of 14 internationally acclaimed books. Her latest book is I Can Only Paint: The Story of Battlefield Painter Mary Riter Hamilton. \nFollow on Twitter: @MLC_Research \nWebsite: mlc.ryerson.ca \n  \n  URL:https://guelphmuseums.ca/event/the-power-of-witnessing-in-the-work-of-battlefield-painter-mary-riter-hamilton/ LOCATION:ONLINE CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://guelphmuseums.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Copy-of-Copy-of-848-x-300-Website-Event-Banner-Mary-Riter-Hamilton-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210216 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210809 DTSTAMP:20260403T190006 CREATED:20210216T163444Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230218T214650Z UID:10015839-1613433600-1628467199@guelphmuseums.ca 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.

For two years Beijing\, the northern capital\, and Tianjin its port city\, were occupied and administered by these combined officers and troops as the Qing court remained in exile in western China. His talk will examine the dynamics of this multi-national occupation concentrating on the debate and justification for looting\, foreign fascination with the previously closed Forbidden City\, inter-allied conflict\, Chinese resistance\, and the occupation’s long-term affects on the built urban landscape of the two cities. \nOffered in partnership with the Laurier Centre for Military\, Strategic and Disarmament Studies. \n\nAbout Blaine Chiasson:\n \nAfter his BA is in Russian language & history from Dalhousie University\, Chiasson attended the University of Toronto intending to continue my MA in Russian. After taking Mandarin & Chinese history he became interested in the fate of the 500\,000 + Russian émigré population in interwar China and switched to Modern Chinese history for his PhD. His monograph\, Administering the Colonizer: Manchuria’s Russians under Chinese Rule 1919-1929 (2010) was published by UBC Press. Chiasson’s published articles all examine Russian imperialism in China and the Russian community in exile. Further research on the Russian army and Beijing’s Ethnic Chinese Russian Orthodox community during the 1901 Boxer rebellion has led to his present project\, a study of the Eight Nation international occupation of Tianjin and Beijing from 1900 to 1903. He is currently an Associate Professor\, Department of History\, Wilfrid Laurier University. \n\nDid you miss the live event?

This exhibition is a foray into the parlour rooms of Victorian Guelph and an experiment with Victorian-era piano recordings. \nWorking with the museum\, Monahan selected 19th-century artifacts from the permanent collection. Using furniture\, farm equipment\, and keyboard instruments\, Monahan experiments with period sound by transmitting vibrations through the artifacts. \nVisitors to the exhibition hear sounds once emitted by the instruments on display. In a process called sonification (and re-sonification)\, Monahan works with the principle that vibration is perceived by the human ear as sound. The artifacts become sounding objects — transmitters of recorded sound — as well as sound sculptures. \nThe sound installation in the midst of a Victorian-era parlour room offers a ghostly rendition of music that once vibrated through the displayed artifacts. Like memory\, the circulation (and re-circulation) of sound calls forth the music and history of times past. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Installation View\n \n \n \n \n \n Sound Transducer on Victorian Crib\n \n \n\n \nHear a conversation about Memory Cycle with Guelph Museums’ Curator Dawn Owen\, Jesse Stewart\, and artist Gordon Monahan: \n\nMemory Cycle was researched\, developed and presented by Gordon Monahan with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.

The transition from war to peace was especially difficult for those diagnosed with a psychological illness. ‘Shell shock’ has become synonymous with the Great War and frequently appears in the history\, literature\, and film of the conflict. While these studies highlight the emotional turmoil and hardship faced by soldiers\, they often obscure the reality of war neurosis. \nEllis’ talk highlights the post-war lives of shell-shocked ex-servicemen and their families through their disability pension applications. It explores the challenges families faced when veterans were hospitalized for extended periods of time and demonstrates the power struggle between pension officials\, physicians\, veterans\, and their family members. \nOffered in partnership with the Laurier Centre for Military\, Strategic and Disarmament Studies. \n\nAbout Heather Ellis:\nHeather Ellis is a PhD Candidate at Western University under the supervision of Dr. Jonathan Vance. Her dissertation focuses on the impact war neurosis had on veterans and their families.

This war became subsumed into the War of Austrian Succession 1740-48) and has not received a lot of attention from historians. The Royal Navy had been actively recruiting seaman since the spring of 1739 and hostilities broke out in the summer. The navy found it had an unexplained shortage of active personnel despite doubling the number of seamen. Ships were not ready\, military operations were delayed\, and Walpole’s government demanded answers for the disarray. What stymied the navy was an alarming number of ill seamen and the cases mounted all through 1740. Sick quarters in several parts of Britain were completely overwhelmed by virulent epidemic typhus known as the “Great Sickness.” \nTyphus was an unsolvable problem for 18th century medicine\, being a contagion that caused record levels of mortality without any hope of a cure. The epidemic is largely forgotten now\, but by the end of 1742 it became the worst typhus epidemic of the century after it spread from the naval towns to the rest of Britain. The navy’s response to the outbreak is instructive because it demonstrates both the pitfalls of not responding adequately at the outset of a crisis and the successes of coordinated and targeted measures of prevention that remain effective today. The episode provides an example of how an organization under extreme stress managed to remain functional despite devastating numbers of incapacitated personnel. \nOffered in partnership with the Laurier Centre for Military\, Strategic and Disarmament Studies. \n\nDid you miss the live event?

On March 11\, 2020 the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. On March 17\, Ontario declared a state of emergency\, prompting citywide closures and social distancing protocols. In April 2020\, the Museum\, while closed to visitors\, launched a call to community for contemporary objects and personal expressions reflecting our individual and collective experiences. \nOn May 25\, 2020\, the death of George Floyd in the US spurred the Black Lives Matter movement to international urgency. Locally\, the Guelph Black Heritage Society organized a peaceful protest and march through downtown Guelph. On June 6\, 2020\, over 5\,000 people gathered to raise awareness of lives lost in violence. \nGuelph Museums and the Guelph Black Heritage Society partnered in the commitment to preserve the stories and experiences of Guelph individuals\, families\, and communities as we face these crises together. \nThis exhibition shares some of the hundreds of images\, creative expressions\, and physical objects that have been collected at Guelph Museums since April 2020 to document the local story of this historic time\, as we live it. \n\n\nThis artwork by Emily Vander Vlugt depicts a crowd of protestors led by Kween\, Executive Director of the Guelph Black Heritage Society. Kween made this audio recording in response to Emily’s artwork.\nThe art work and audio\, jointly titled No Justice\, No Peace\, are featured in the exhibition Rapid Response: Collecting Experiences as they are Lived at Guelph Museums\, from July 27\, 2021 to February 27\, 2022.\n\nHear a conversation with donors to the exhibition: \n\nPresented in partnership with: URL:https://guelphmuseums.ca/event/rapid-response-collecting-experiences-as-they-are-lived/ LOCATION:Guelph Civic Museum\, 52 Norfolk Street\, Guelph\, Ontario\, N1H 4H8\, Canada CATEGORIES:Exhibitions,Past Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://guelphmuseums.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Composite-2020.19.1-2020.26.2-scaled.jpg GEO:43.5435971;-80.250923 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Guelph Civic Museum 52 Norfolk Street Guelph Ontario N1H 4H8 Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=52 Norfolk Street:geo:-80.250923,43.5435971 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210810 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220207 DTSTAMP:20260403T190012 CREATED:20210721T160136Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230218T214725Z UID:10015871-1628553600-1644191999@guelphmuseums.ca SUMMARY:Bravo!
