Canadian industry in 1871 project (CANIND71), University of Guelph, Ontario, 1982 - 2008
No full textThe Canadian Industry in 1871 project involved digitizing the manuscript schedules of the 1871 Census of Canada, the only detailed industrial census returns to survive so completely from the past. The database includes more than 45,000 industrial establishments, each with up to 100 variables, including many that never appeared in the published census reports. This resource provides uniquely valuable snapshots of industrial activity just after Confederation, at a time of transition in technology, business organization and work discipline.
As part of the project, a website was developed to provide access to the CANIND71 database, including an online search interface and a detailed user guide. The search tool was a SAS application that dynamically returned records from the underlying CANIND71 database in response to queries from links on pages within the website, and from user-customizable queries submitted via a search tool on the website.
As of 2021, the CANIND71 website and online search tool were decommissioned. The database and supplementary materials are now available through the University of Guelph Research Data Repositories.</p

The whimsical bloomfield
No full textSummary
The author describes and gives excerpts from his correspondence with Leonard Bloomfield, principally between 1942 and 1945, dealing with the problems of preparing material for language-teaching in connection with the war-effort. In these post-cards and letters, in addition to dealing with serious matters, Bloomfield often included humorous remarks, or even invented entire episodes. The correspondence not only illustrates both the serious and the whimsical side of Bloomfield’s nature, but also throws light on various neglected aspects of the rôle played by linguistics in the American war-effort.</jats:p

Andrew Bloomfield collection, 2006-2012
No full textAndrew Bloomfield, and his twin sister Victoria, were born on May 6, 1968 in Auckland, New Zealand. The following year, the family moved to Guelph, Ontario. It became apparent from the time Andrew was 14 months old that he differed considerably from his twin sister, and he was subsequently diagnosed with autism when he was four years old. As a result, he lived away from his family for much of his early life in order to participate in programs for autistic people. Andrew found this very difficult, but also made some significant progress. He became able to relate to and care for his dog, and was able to express his thoughts with Augmentative and Alternative Communication, especially using Supported Typing. His twin sister Victoria was an important person in his life, and her untimely death in a car accident in 1996 devastated him. However, his network of friends and family have provided immense support and helped him build a fulfilling and meaningful life. In 2004 Andrew founded a group of other adult communicators who "type to talk" which he named "Bridges-Over-Barriers". They meet monthly in Guelph and contributed to the 2010 volume with accompanying documentary film on DVD. He lives in his own home in Guelph, guaranteed by a housing trust, and has written several books, including an autobiography, Bridges over Barriers in My Life with Autism.The collection consists of five books and one music score. Four of the books are authored or edited by Andrew Bloomfield. The titles are In My Mind: Thoughts and Words of Andrew Bloomfield, 2000-2006; Odyssey: ten years of a good whole life in my own home, 2008; Bridges-Over-Barriers: In Our Own Words, 2010; Bridges over Barriers in My Life with Autism, 2011; Creating a Home and Good Life of My Own: Formal agreements developed by Guelph Services for the Autistic in its role as a housing trust, 2012, written by Elizabeth and Gerald Bloomfield; and Bridges Song of Hope, 2012 [music score], composed by Leah Hewitt, with lyrics by Andrew Bloomfield
My recollections of Leonard Bloomfield
No full textSummary
As Leonard Bloomfield’s lawyer and personal friend of his family during the 1920’s and 1930’s, the author evokes memories of Bloomfield himself and his family, with emphasis on the character of his parents and the intellectual and artistic achievements of his relatives. Illustrations are given of his personality, his (often bitter), wit, and his shyness. Light is cast on hitherto little known aspects of his life, especially on his marriage, the adoption of his sons, and his wife’s mental break-down in the 1940’s. Bloomfield’s character is contrasted with that of Edward Sapir (1884–1939), whom the author also knew during the latter’s Chicago years.</jats:p
Trace-strength and source-monitoring accounts of accuracy and metacognitive resolution in the misinformation paradigm
No full textTwo experiments are reported that investigate the impact of misinformation on memory accuracy and metacognitive resolution. In Experiment 1, participants viewed a series of photographs depicting a crime scene, were exposed to misinformation that contradicted details in the slides, and later took a recognition memory test. For each answer, participants were required to indicate whether they were willing to testify (report) their answer to the Court and to rate confidence. Misinformation impaired memory accuracy but it had no effect on resolution, regardless of whether resolution was indexed with confidence-rating measures (gamma correlation and mean confidence) or a report-option measure (type-2 discrimination: d’). In Experiment 2, a similar accuracy-confidence dissociation was found, and the misinformation effect occurred mostly with fine-grained responses, suggesting that responding was based on recollected details. We argue that the results support source-monitoring accounts of accuracy and resolution rather than accounts based on trace strength
