This essay examines the language of an expatriate community as found in letters and petitions written by African Americans who migrated to Sierra Leone by way of Nova Scotia in 1792. These documents provide some of the earliest first-hand evidence of African American English and contribute to debates about the history of that variety. The paper compares selected grammatical features in that variety to modern-day African Nova Scotian English for insights to the history of African American English and develops a case for the principled use of manuscript documents for reconstructing earlier stages of colloquial English.

The multifaceted career of Henry Alexander Saturnin Hartley (1861–1934) has been almost entirely overlooked by scholars. It however offers us a window into the way the study of classics traveled up and down the Atlantic seaboard and through the Americas. His peripatetic life which took him from Trinidad, to Paris, to maritime Canada, to South America and also to parts of the U.S. figures into the larger history of black classicism when knowledge of classical languages was a “currency” of its own. His 134-page book Classical Translations (Nova Scotia, 1889) was a singular achievement. It is the first book of translations taken from the literature of ancient Greece and Rome that was written and published by a person of African descent in the western hemisphere.

An exhibition entitled Eye (Level) Chart reviewed the twenty year history of Eye Level Gallery, an artist-run centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The temporal history of the Gallery was presented as a chronological gallery display of exhibition announcements, posters and graphic ephemera. More than a mere summary of exhibitions, significant social and cultural information was revealed through the charting of promotional materials that were astutely archived over a twenty-year period.

The life history of Phaeosaccion collinsii Farlow, a species which is known from a single locality in Nova Scotia, has been completed in culture. There was no indication of a sexual phase and zoospores gave rise directly to the tubular thallus. Completion of the life history occurred at 5 °C only. At higher temperatures spores failed to germinate, or growth and differentiation were suppressed. Light intensities exceeding 100 ft-c inhibited spore germination, although growth and differentiation were not similarly affected. In nature mature plants occur sublittorally, and are present only in spring when the water temperature is around 5 °C. Zoospore flagellation is of the typical heterokont type with the flimmer bearing bilateral hairs. On this basis P. collinsii can be placed either in the Chrysophyceae or Phaeophyceae.

A medullosalean-pteridosperm specimen, 22 cm long, from the Sydney Coalfield, Nova Scotia, Canada, illustrates the advantage of studying the fossilization history of compressed foliage freed from the rock matrix by hydrofluoric acid, as compared to the examination of compressions still in the rock matrix. The image of any freed frond segment of compression foliage that has been reprocessed digitally to represent its original structure is called a compression map. Interpretation of a compression map is reliant on a physicogeochemical model of preservation processes.RÉSUMÉUn spécimen fossile d’une ptéridospermée du genre Medulossa mesurant 22 cm de longueur et excavé dans le bassin houiller de Sydney, en Nouvelle-Écosse (Canada), illustre bien l’avantage d’étudier l’histoire géologique de fossiles de feuilles extraits de la matrice rocheuse au moyen de l’acide fluorhydrique plutôt que d’examiner des compressions qui sont encore dans la matrice. On désigne carte de compression l’image d’un segment de fronde compressé extrait de la matrice dont on a fait l’extrapolation numérique pour voir sa structure originale. L’interprétation d’une carte de compression repose sur un modèle physicogéochimique des processus de préservation.[Traduit par la redaction]

Library Resource

Although the Library of the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) can trace its history to the origins of the College itself, its metamorphosis into a modern library began in 1972 when two professional librarians were hired to establish a library resource to match the expanding programs of the College. John Murchie was hired as Director of the Library and Mary Snyder was hired as the Slide Librarian. Largely through their efforts and those of the library staff, the NSCAD Library has grown to become the premier library collection for the visual arts and design in Atlantic Canada. As a member of the Novanet consortium of university libraries, the NSCAD Library has joined the ranks of Nova Scotia universities in offering a full-scale library service to its immediate community and to practising artists, academics, and the general public in the region.
