Re(dis)covering Our Foremothers
The modern literary searchlight has flushed out Canada's long neglected nineteenth century female writers. New critical approaches are advocated and others are encouraged to take on the difficulties - and rewards - of research into the lives of our foremothers. Published in English.
Discovering the Movies in New Brunswick: A History of Cinema
A Surprising History of Cinema. When David Folster discovered that some of the earliest documentary motion pictures were made in New Brunswick-wildlife and wilderness adventure movies-he began the research that led to this book. This lively account of movie making pioneers in New Brunswick includes the stories of local entrepreneurs who established the motion picture theatre business in the province. In addition, it tells the stories of New Brunswickers who became key players in the movie industry. The book concludes with an epilogue on contemporary NB filmmakers and the state of the art in the province. Discovering the Movies in New Brunswick is a unique and highly entertaining contribution to the cultural history of the province and to the history of cinema in general.
Better Off Forgetting?
Throughout Canada, provincial, federal, and municipal archives exist to house the records we produce. Some conceive of these institutions as old and staid, suggesting that archives are somehow trapped in the past. But archives are more than resources for professional scholars and interested individuals. With an increasing emphasis on transparency in government and public institutions, archives have become essential tools for accountability. Better Off Forgetting? offers a reappraisal of archives and a look at the challenges they face in a time when issues of freedom of information, privacy, technology, and digitization are increasingly important. The contributors argue that archives are essential to contemporary debates about public policy and make a case for more status, funding, and influence within public bureaucracies. While stimulating debate about our rapidly changing information environment, Better Off Forgetting? focuses on the continuing role of archives in gathering and preserving our collective memory.

"Just Mary" Reader
For twenty-three years during the golden age of radio in Canada, stories for children by Mary Grannan, "Just Mary," were broadcast by CBC and beloved across the country. She retired from broadcasting in 1962 and died in 1975, but her sweet-tempered and humorous stories still have the power to entertain, while recapturing the atmosphere of another time. Grannan published stories from Just Mary and Maggie Muggins in over thirty best-selling books, but she had other radio series that were never released in print. The "Just Mary" Reader presents for the first time a selection of her stories from two other radio drama series. Jubilee Road tells the adventures and misadventures of Johnny and Patty Little and their friend Salty Pickle. Or, as Johnny describes it: "We get into quite a few messes, but if you know us, you’ll know that it’s hardly ever our fault." In Land of Supposing, Grannan retold fairy tales and legends from around the world, as well as a few legends of her own making. Previously unpublished selections from Just Mary and Maggie Muggins complete the collection.
