It is important that people of all ages should be able to read and use this national treasure," said Adrian Ailes, a Domesday expert at the National Archives, which in the past few years has placed millions of historical documents, from First World War records to 1960s public information films, on the Net. Kensington, now one of London's wealthiest areas, had "meadow for two ploughs, pasture for the livestock ... woodland for 200 pigs and three arpents (acres) of vineyard. "I think people warm to the Domesday Book and its specific contents because it contains 13,418 place names," said Ailes. "Everyone is related in some way to this piece of history; it is very tangible."
Keepers of the Record is the history of those records and the faithful servants who kept them. The author, [Deidre Simmons], is an archivist who obtained her master's degree in archival studies from the University of Manitoba. There were some dramas: explorer Henry Kelsey's journals disappeared for 250 years only to turn up in the papers of a rival to the HBC. Coal, rationed for inhabitants during the latter war years in England, was granted to keep dry the company's records, hidden away in wine cellars for safekeeping. Keepers of the Record is not an easy read. Sometimes the work betrays its origins as a thesis and the photographs are disappointingly small and dark with details impossible to discern. But in 2007, the first 250 years of Hudson's Bay Company archives were added to UNESC...

Robert Vandewater, a vice-president at CIBC Wood Gundy's Winnipeg office and honorary lieutenant-colonel of the Cameron's militia unit, said it's unlikely anyone with the regiment could come up with the funds needed to buy the medals at auction. "I don't see what we can do," Vandewater said. "We just don't have the resources to do it. It's assumed [Robert Shankland]'s medals have been put up for auction by his family, but [Jack Kerr-Wilson] said Bonhams' policy prevents him from disclosing the identity of the seller. Shankland returned to Winnipeg after the First World War and later moved to Victoria and then Vancouver. After serving in the Second World War, he returned to the West Coast. Bonhams' historical records state Shankland's wife died in 1952. Shankland died in Vancouver in 19...

The Harper government claims that it is keen to develop a strong policy towards Latin America. Yet it is a flawed approach, supporting US policy at a time when it is at its lowest point in decades, while ignoring both a clear leftward swing of elected Latin American governments in the last five years and the significant importance of Cuba in the region. This paper examines the Harper government's approach to Cuba. Following some general comments on the evolution of Canadian policy towards revolutionary Cuba, it examines some of the errors in the Harper approach, suggests an explanation for the approach employed, and makes suggestions about policies that Ottawa should consider to improve relations. In sports terms, Cuba "punches above its weight"-a fact which is known widely in Latin Ame...
