Florence Mae MacCorkindale
CA ON00428 2017.04 · Collection · ca. 1886 - ca. 1902

This collection of tableware includes plates, bowls, and platters in various sizes. All the items have a matching blue and white motif in a style referred to as Flow Blue ceramics. In terms of design, it is similar to traditional blue and white china, except the ceramics undergo a process during glazing that creates an intentional blur of the colours. Sometimes called "poor man's china", it became popular for its inexpensive price, durability and its ability to be mass produced. Known as "transferware", a variety of different patterns arose in an attempt to replicate the look of eastern ceramic wares. Patterns were largely derived from Chinese-export wares and existent (topographical, historical and botanical) images known as source prints. These kinds of ceramics became increasingly popular in the North American market. This set is demonstrative of the kind of tableware that may have been used at Lambton House when it was operational.

Records include monthly reports of sightings, annual statistics, bird and mammal species occurrence records, and lists of species sighted. The majority of Gould's observations were made in "a rectangle which extends roughly thirty miles east and west and twelve miles north and south of North Bay." Some of his usual observation places within this area included his home on McIntyre Street, Peninsula Road on Trout Lake, the shore of Lake Nipissing west of the Government Wharf, and Eloy's Farm. He also frequently carried out observations while on walks, drives, and boat rides in and around North Bay.

The Map Fonds contain over 3100 Topographical and Going Maps with Defence, Engineer, Flooding, and Geological Overprints, ranging from the 1910s to the 1990s. While the majority of the maps focus on Western Europe (France, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands) during the Second World War, the collection also includes maps of North America, Italy, and China. The majority of the maps were created under GSGS (Geographical Section, General Staff, also known as MI 4), which operated under the Director of Military Operations and Intelligence in the British War Office during the Second World War. The GSGS collected data on foreign survey networks and provided training, supplied maps, and prepared survey data for the Allied forces.
