Est-il possible de retracer une rumeur ayant circulé au Québec dans les années 1770-1790 ? C’est ce que se propose de faire cette étude au sujet de bruits selon lesquels la France aurait voulu reconquérir le Canada. Parmi les sources exploitées : la correspondance d’une religieuse (Marie-Catherine Juchereau-Duchesnay), le témoignage de deux notaires (Jean-Baptiste Badeaux et Simon Sanguinet), une brochure de propagande (attribuée à François Baby) et une lettre forgée par George Washington et le marquis de Lafayette. En contextualisant la production et la diffusion de ces rumeurs dans la province, on tente ici de comprendre l’état d’esprit de la population rurale au moment de la guerre d’Indépendance américaine et dans les années qui suivirent. Cette étude de l’imaginaire de la reconquête se veut une contribution aux travaux sur la rumeur et à l’histoire des mentalités canadiennes par le biais des traces de l’oralité trouvées dans l’archive.

Un échantillon du recensement effectué en 1852 dans le Canada-Est et le Canada-Ouest, sous forme de fichier lisible par machine, s’ajoutera bientôt à la séquence de bases de données en cours de construction à partir des recensements canadiens des 19e et 20e siècles. La base contiendra 259 000 personnes, soit 20 pour cent de la population recensée en 1852. Similaire aux recensements ultérieurs par la forme et le contenu, celui-ci présente cependant des difficultés particulières au chapitre de la représentation de toutes les parties du territoire et du repérage des chefs de ménage. Des étapes clés du déroulement du projet sont décrites ici : organisation de la saisie des données, résolution du problème de la perte de données sur les zones urbaines, repérage des chefs de ménage au moyen de l’information sur le type d’immeuble. Une première analyse des fréquences du recensement de 1852 et leur comparaison avec celles du recensement de 1871 laisse croire que l’échantillon construit est représentatif de la population rurale du Canada en 1852.

Commerce International

En 1990, l'action juridique du canada en matière de commerce international se sera principalement manifestée au GATT, comme le démontre les conflits relativement nombreux dans lesquels le Canada fut impliqué ainsi que l'activité qu'il aura dépolyé cette année là. L'action juridique du Canada se sera en outre révélée en cette année, par l'entremise d'actes unilatéraux et d'accords commerciaux conclus avec d'autres États. La mise en oeuvre de l'Accord de libre-échange Canada-États-Unis constitue un dernier aspect qui aura préoccupé, par la force des choses, le Canada en cette année 1990.

Sufficient experience has been gained during the past five years to suggest an extended application of microreplication and scanning electron microscopy to problems of forensic science. The author's research was originally initiated with a view to develop a non-destructive method for identification of materials that went into objects of art, notably ivory and ivories. This was followed by a very specific application to the identification and duplication of the kinds of materials from animal teeth and tusks which two centuries ago went into the fabrication of the ivory dentures of George Washington. Subsequently it became apparent that a similar method of microreplication and SEM examination offered promise for a whole series of problems pertinent to art, technology and science. Furthermore, what began primarily as an application to solid substances has turned out to be similarly applicable to soft tissue surfaces such as mucous membranes and skin, even in cases of acute, chronic and precancerous epithelial surface changes, and to post-mortem identification of specific structures pertinent to forensic science.

The Federalist Papers

In the first decade of the twentieth century, a rising generation of British colonial administrators profoundly altered British usage of American history in imperial debates. In the process, they influenced both South African history and wider British imperial thought. Prior usage of the Revolution and Early Republic in such debates focused on the United States as a cautionary tale, warning against future ‘lost colonies’. Aided by the publication of F. S. Oliver's Alexander Hamilton (1906), administrators in South Africa used the figures of Hamilton and George Washington, the Federalist Papers, and the drafting of the Constitution as an Anglo-exceptionalist model of (modern) self-government. In doing so they applied the lessons of the Early Republic to South Africa, thereby contributing to the formation of the Union of 1910. They then brought their reconception of the United States, and their belief in the need for ‘imperial federation’, back to the metropole. There they fostered growing diplomatic ties with the US while recasting British political history in-light-of the example of American federation. This process of inter-imperial exchange culminated shortly after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles when the Boer Generals Botha and Smuts were publicly presented as Washington and Hamilton reborn.

The federal art programs of the New Deal produced public art in quantities not seen before or since. Historians have studied many aspects of the New Deal's art programs, but few have considered the long-term history of works produced by them. New Deal art programs produced large numbers of public murals—so many that such murals are often thought of as the typical form of New Deal art. They thus provide readily available examples of the long-term experience of New Deal art. San Francisco has a particularly rich collection of these murals. Some of them have been well cared for over the past eight decades, but public officials have proved negligent stewards—and occasionally destructive stewards—of others. Some of San Francisco's murals were considered so controversial at the time they were created that they were modified or even destroyed. Others became controversial later, with calls for modification or destruction. Some of the latter were covered, some were vandalized, and some have deteriorated. Most of the damaged murals have been restored, sometimes more than once. This article looks at the city's New Deal murals at Coit Tower, the Mothers Building at the Zoo, the Beach Chalet, the University of California San Francisco, the Alemany Health Center, Treasure Island/City College, and Rincon Annex/Center, with special attention to the George Washington High School murals that have recently been highly controversial. Controversies over the murals at Coit Tower, Rincon Annex, and George Washington High School also reveal significant changes in the role of the city's political and civic leadership with regard to public art.
