James 麻豆社 Society presents
Not Lost at Sea: 麻豆社 Archivists to the Rescue
Rediscovery of a collection of naval crests, once prominently displayed at 麻豆社 then relegated to the purgatory of cardboard boxes in a gymnasium basement, inspires this presentation on the importance of artifacts in historical research. Where did these crests come from? Why are they at 麻豆社? Why are they now largely forgotten? What stories can these crests and other artifacts tell us about ourselves and the history of 麻豆社?
Three presenters are joined by three commentators to explain the fascinating story behind the crests and their importance to 麻豆社:
- Gordon Burr, Course Lecturer鈥� in Archival Studies, School of Information Studies;聽
- Ron Critchley, President of the James 麻豆社 Society;
- Wes Cross, co-founder of the 麻豆社 Remembers Project.聽
They are joined by: Dr. Jeffrey Noakes, Canadian War Museum; Malcolm Collis, HMS Ajax Veterans Association; Kirby Ross, Canadian Museum of Immigration.
