Peter Rotsaert and Vico De Vocht examine a digital version of a silent film at the Brussels Cinematek.
DB here:
Today Dawson City, in the Yukon Territory of Canada, has fewer than two thousand people, but in the 1890s tens of thousands passed through in search of gold. Movies came along too, but the remoteness of the place made it the end of the line for most prints. Many were stored in the basement of the Carnegie Library. In 1929, an enterprising bank worker shifted them to an abandoned swimm… »

Il s’agit d’une machine de radiothérapie aux lignes racées et à la couleur verte élégante, datant de 1956 et exposée en permanence au Musée des sciences et de la technologie du Canada.

Talk to any history teacher, whether they teach elementary, middle, or high school and they’ll tell you the importance of using primary source documents in their classroom…and I’m certainly not one to argue! The biggest challenge for me is finding the right time and place to work the sources into my lessons. It’s admittedly a weaker point in my teaching, and one that I’m always working to improve…however, I created what I think is a great way to introduce the concept of primary sources to … »

When the iPad first came out in April 2010 (was it really just over 18 months ago?) I wasn’t blown away. Here was an Apple device (as opposed to a very familiar Windoze one) which was unable to sit comfortably on a school network. It lacked USB ports or a camera, it had no compatibility with Flash and a complete absence of multitasking. This made it a fairly attractive thing to look at, but to me, more of a media player and leisure device. Not useful for teaching then. It wasn… »

The Changing Place of Foxes on Prince Edward Island | ActiveHistory.ca

by Ryan O’Connor
I grew up on Prince Edward Island. As a youth I heard stories of the once-booming silver fox industry, which brought considerable wealth to the province in the early 1900s. While fox ranching has long since ceased, one need look no further than the provincial armorial bearings, adopted in 2002, for a reminder of its former significance.
Red foxes are native to the woods and fields of Prince Edward Island. (The silver fox is a rare mutation of the red fox.) Despite spending cou… »

Only a couple of thousand tourists trekked into Yosemite in 1871, yet they knew what they were coming to see; the sites they visited were predetermined and their responses to them were pre-felt. The magnificent valley may have been well off the beaten path but its falls and domes and meadows were already "sites."
That’s why these intrepid travelers had taken the trouble, and in … »
