Crystal Fraser and I are co-editing a series on environmental histories of Indian residential and day schools for @nichecanada.bsky.social. We chose to launch the series on Orange Shirt Day, in part, to remind historians of their responsibilities to Survivors and intergenerational Survivors.

Consider submitting a piece to The Oar, an exciting new popular history magazine by some really excellent New Brunswick scholars!

What’s at the other end of this bridge? Cape Jourimain, NB, the Chignecto Isthmus, and the second Gulf Ecologies conference: “Knowledge Beyond the Text,” to be held at Mount Allison University in Sackville.

New article from UPEI MA (Island Studies) candidate and member of the GeoREACH Lab, Barbara Rousseau, using #hGIS #envhist and other methods to examine how Prince Edward Island’s coastal dunes – and people’s perceptions of them – have changed over time. #cdnhist journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

It does this Islander/historian’s heart good to see the Euston St gas station en route to preservation and repurposing for the community in Charlottetown. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

New from the Ecologies, Knowledge, & Power in the Gulf of St. Lawrence Region project, a film on our first meeting and launch in 2024. Enjoy some aerial views of the Climate School in St Peters, the Morell River field trip, and the Basin Head beach and fisheries museum. youtu.be/1K9EyttdDK4?...

I know Canadians love their coasts, but the Gulf of St. Lawrence really dominated this CBC list of Canada's favourite destinations. At least a fifth of the top-20 are in the Gulf (Basin Head PEI, Cape Breton NS, Gros Morne NL, and Kouchibouguac NB)... www.cbc.ca/newsinteract...

Mayor Mews on place in NL: “you know down through the centuries fishermen have lived in these little houses perched upon the cliffs and they don't want to leave them. It was suggested that they [move to] the city but they want to be by the sea, and we all understand that.” youtu.be/pAiI_qT-5Kc?...

The webmap I designed to run behind GeoPEI: PEI Historical Map Viewer and the Time Flies, Online Edition e-book (both free, by the way at upei.ca/timeflies) has just passed 20,000 views! Not the biggest number in DH project history, but pretty neat for a small place like PEI.

Wonderful to have my book Time Flies featured on the Witness to Yesterday podcast, with @nobyrne.bsky.social Time Flies: A History of Prince Edward Island from the Air, Witness to Yesterday, Episode 312 (7 March 2025) The Champlain Society champlainsociety.utppublishing.com/digital-cont...

An article where students (Bailey Clark and Nolan Kressin) and I introduce GeoPEI: the GeoREACH Lab's map viewer. And a brief reflection on 4 of our favourites. Our gift to PEI and map nerds everywhere:

"Time Flies" flew again, this week with this new Story Map companion to the book. I was happy to have Bailey Clark on board for both. We hope you enjoy and please share the links! Here's the StoryMap: "Time Flies, Online Edition" storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/d0db...

Here’s a great job opportunity at my alma mater, with a focus on pre-20th century history and a commitment to recognizing digital/public facing projects. Someone go help this amazing department continue building the best rural history program in North America! niche-canada.org/2025/01/27/j...
