Library and Archives Canada (LAC) has added a new page for 'War Brides'. This is a very good thing, as here LAC points to a good number of record collections with information about war time miltary related marriages, going beyond the most obvious ones.
But I, of course, feel I must quibble.
'War brides', LAC says, are defined as "foreign civilian women who married Canadian soldiers serving overseas during the First and Second World Wars."
By? ( the Canadian military?) There is no doubt most of these women were British, so not 'foreign', but British subjects same as most women born in Canada. (And by the way, LAC, during WW I, Irish women were also British.)
And not all were civilians either. Possibly the assistance offered to civilian women, and dependants, if applicable, was not the same as extended to military women and not reflected in most of LAC's record collections. However if yours was a military bride, don't let LAC deter you, as for example, one of the record sets listed is 'Arrival of CWAC from overseas. Arrangements on Debarkation, 1943-1945'. CWAC stands for Canadian Women's Army Corps (WWII).
And I think there must have been at least a few brides other than overseas ones (and a few grooms). And LAC does make just a brief reference to women leaving Canada with or to join new husbands. "Library and Archives Canada also holds departure records for Canadian women who married servicemen from other Allied nations." I would think that USA/Canada Border records or other United States records may reference 'war marriages' either in the USA or Canada involving Canadians marrying USians too.
Not all war marriages may have been treated equally, depending on the status of the bride or groom. LAC lists 'Immigration; admission of fiancées of citizens of Chinese origin; enlargement of quota for India, 1956'.
In some cases, likely sad ones, LAC files may provide information on women and families after their arrival in Canada, for instance, in these files 'Assistance to dependents re desertion, bigamy, illegitimacy, 1940-47'. And passenger records will show some brides either leaving Canada later or visiting 'home' later on.
My own parents' marriage was a 'war marriage'. Both were British subjects and born in Canada. Both were in the Canadian military; they met and married in the United States. LAC does, I know, have records noting their marriage. Be sure to look at the entire file for your military person, if possible. This will be easier for Canadian WW I military once the files are all digitized and on-line, but seeing a WW II file may involve a longer process. And, in some cases, when a military person did not marry, but had, or was deemed responsible for, a child, there may well be information in the military files.
Don't neglect newspapers in your search. You will find articles about marriages and arrivals - even photos - as these marriages were of wide interest. Reading Library and Archives Canada's files may give you dates of marriage or arrivals, etc. to search by, or you may be lucky and find that a relevant newspaper has been indexed or even digitized and on-line.

Modernization? at Library and Archives Canada
I'm feeling quite concerned about the piece entitled 'Modernization' that the Librarian and Archivist of Canada, Daniel J. Caron, posted on-line yesterday.
Message from the Librarian and Archivist of Canada: Modernization
9 September, 2009.
Library and Archives Canada has already had a moratorium on purchasing new materials - which seems to me affects LAC current and future reference services, particularly vital in a country as geographically 'challenged' as Canada - and now, we see the demise of the Portrait Gallery of Canada.
I'm very surprised to see him write, for example, that "Our relevance in the medium and long term is also called into question in this new environment" when Canadian archivists and librarians, and Library and Archives Canada itself, have continuously led in worldwide digital initiatives for acquisition, preservation and access.
I'll take a day to think about this though. In the meantime, I'm very interested in any comments you may have.

Dick Eastman at Roots Television - interview with Sylvie Tremblay - Chief, Canadian Genealogy Centre LAC
Dick Eastman of Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter has a new interview at Roots Television with Sylvie Tremblay, who is apparently now Chief of the Canadian Genealogy Centre (CGC) at Library and Archives Canada (LAC) / Bibliothèque et Archives Canada (BAC). Dick interviewed her during the New England Regional Genealogical Conference (NERGC) which was just held in Manchester, New Hampshire, USA.
In the interview, she talked about both the on-site and on-line areas of the Canadian Genealogy Centre, and as John D. Reid notes, she had some statistics, for example, that there were 5,000 visitors in person last year and 7 million page views on-line (double the number of pages viewed the previous year). I thought she said that the Canadian Genealogy Centre received a total of 8,000 queries last year; 4,000 of these by telephone. I found that interesting. (Well, odd, really. I'd like to see an easy to find fact sheet of historical statistics like this on the LAC website.)
The most popular CGC database on-line, she said, is (still?) that for the World War I Canadian Expeditionary Force service records. Although this is titled Soldiers of the First World War - CEF, it does include nurses, and chaplains too. A pilot project to digitize full service files on-demand was supposed to be in the works for Summer 2009, but that wasn't mentioned in the interview. I hope that is still on track as this will be an exciting new initiative from LAC, of great value to genealogists.
She also mentioned the popularity of the Canadian census and highlighted available land records as well - and said that, in partnership with Ancestry.ca, all the historical census images will be on-line by the end of this year. (Another clue that this project is behind?) She did not mention the question of census indexes, nor previous partnerships, for instance, with FamilySearch which provided the free index for the 1881 census. (Nor did Dick Eastman follow up on that.)
When the Canadian Genealogy Centre was first developed, it had an URL of its own: www.genealogy.gc.ca This still works, although it's not being updated. Access to the Canadian Genealogy Centre on-line is now being promoted through the main LAC web address: www.collectionscanada.gc.ca
(Actually www.collectionscanada.ca works just fine and is easier to remember!)
Sylvie was speaking at the NERGC conference about "Discovering Family Treasures in Quebec: What You Need to Know" in a session sponsored by the American Canadian Genealogical Society. I heard her in both Ottawa and Kelowna last year and she is a lively speaker with very useful information and ideas.
Some of Dick Eastman's questions covered French-Canadian records and Sylvie Tremblay is also Genealogist for the
Association of the Tremblay of America / l'Association des Tremblay d'Amérique. If you have a Tremblay in your family tree, you can get in touch with her through the Association.

Ian Wilson, Librarian and Archivist of Canada, Retires
Ian Wilson, Librarian and Archivist of Canada, has announced his retirement effective almost immediately - April 24, 2009. He has been in this position since 2004 and was the first head of Canada's amalgamated national Library and Archives, now known as Library and Archives Canada (LAC).
Mr Wilson was Canada's National Archivist from 1999. Before that he was the Provincial Archivist for Ontario (1986 to 1999) and for Saskatchewan (1976 to 1986). Both he and Canada's previous National Librarian, Roch Carrier, were instrumental in the reorganization of Canada's national Archives and national Library into the one institution - an achievement of which both men can be proud, I am sure.
Ian Wilson may also be remembered for the emphasis on commercial and other partnerships that LAC has developed in recent years - LAC as a 'catalyst' for digitization and indexing projects (rather than as a 'leader').
However, Mr. Wilson was a strong supporter of the grass roots Canadian historical census access campaigns and he has always been a promoter too of keeping up with changes in technology and communication and in recognizing the value of Canada's historical resources as his speech in December to the West Beyond the West: British Columbia Digitization Symposium made clear.
Mr. Wilson will be continuing as President of the International Council on Archives.
His letter advising of his retirement is here.
A brief biography and texts of some of his speeches are here.
In December of 2008, he was the keynote speaker at the West Beyond the West: BC Digitization Symposium. A webcast of his presentation is here.
No announcement regarding a successor has been made yet.

LAC & TGN - Canadian Passenger List Index Launch - September 2008
Apparently The Generations Network (TGN, Ancestry.com, .ca, etc.) and Library and Archives Canada (LAC) will be launching the Ancestry indexes to Canadian passenger lists from 1865-1935 on September 16, 2008 in Toronto. Some 5.5 million names!
Thanks to Olive Tree Genealogy for this heads-up - there doesn't seem to be any news yet on LAC's website or elsewhere.
These indexes will be available on Ancestry (TGN) by subscription, but remember to check with your local library system to see if that's offered at a library for free somewhere near you.
There are various Canadian indexes already (not all on-line), and images of passenger lists from 1865 to 1922 are on-line at LAC's website. See below for a link directly to LAC's Canadian Genealogy Centre's information guide to passenger lists.
If you're in or close to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the launch is 16th September 2008, 10:30 am at the "Toronto Archives Building at 255 Spadina Road" - that would be at the City of Toronto Archives ? (Why I wonder?)
If this were 'after 1935', it would be a bit more exciting to me, but of course, it will be very useful, particularly for the earliest years. Ancestry's indexes and searches, if not always accurate, are usually flexible, although other recent passenger indexes for Great Britain and Europe have really already opened up many of the Canadian passenger lists to researchers.
Looking at passenger lists - from both departure and entry - may give you much more information. Don't stop with one name found in a Canadian entry index - see the actual record, have a look right through it, then search to see if there is a corresponding record in the port of departure.
If your family might have come through Hamburg, see the newer 'Port of Dreams: Ballinstadt' website. (See a link below - this isn't yet mentioned on LAC's web pages.)
And also, keep an eye on Stephen Morse - he is almost sure to have a 'one-step' for this new index very quickly. His search facility does make locating index entries by surname easier.
Now - I have to ask - what did LAC, and thus, we Canadian researchers (and taxpayers), get out of this passenger list index "partnership" between LAC and TGN? Will all the passenger records for this period soon be available free on LAC's website?

1916 Canadian Prairie Census available at Library and Archives Canada - only in Ottawa...
John D. Reid of Anglo-Celtic Connections just let me know that microfilms of the 1916 Census of the Canadian Prairies (Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta) are now available for viewing at Library and Archives Canada (LAC) and for interlibrary loan. Drat! I was just there, for goodness sake.
Hoping the Cloverdale Branch of the Surrey Public Library already has an order in.
This census is apparently being digitized under an agreement between LAC and The Generations Network (TGN, aka Ancestry) as was done with the 1891 Canadian census.
What do these commercial agreements mean to those researching their Canadian roots? More from me on this soon. Comments?

Library and Archives Canada - Need for Public Consultation
Last fall, Library and Archives Canada (LAC) announced cuts to full access hours at the Archives in Ottawa, giving very little notice of the changes.
There was a public uproar - many groups and many individuals made their feelings very clear in web posts, letters and newspaper articles - and by mid November, 2007, to give them credit, the powers at LAC had both restored some hours and promised to set up an "LAC Services Advisory Board"...composed of representatives from various user communities across Canada...the first of two components of LAC's recently-established public consultation process."
The Board first met 30 November, 2007 and a brief report of that meeting was posted on the LAC website, 13 December, 2007. Gordon Watts, co-chair of Canada's grassroots Post 1901 Census Access Project, who is now a member of the Board, commented on the first Board session in his 19 December 2007 "Gordon Watts Reports".
Although it's promised that Board minutes will be posted on the LAC website, that hasn't been done yet.
I do agree with Gordon that information relating to the Board would be better placed in its own area on the website, and not just under 'What's New'. This would make it much easier to keep up to date with the Board's progress. Since genealogists are, I believe, the largest group of LAC users, there needs to be a link to that information on LAC's Canadian Genealogy Centre as well.
There should also be a list posted of the 28 people chosen by Library and Archives Canada as members of the Board and their affiliations. Apparently these people were chosen from groups or individuals both known to the LAC as 'users' and as expressing concern previously about LAC's operations.
However, as the LAC Services Advisory Board report reiterates "The second component ["of LAC's recently-established public consultation process"] involves general public consultations, held on a regular and ongoing basis, concerning LAC's client services, with the first meeting planned for January 2008. LAC users will be invited to comment in person, by telephone or postal mail, or using electronic means over the Internet."
It is now 5 January, 2008. As yet no notice of this January, 2008 meeting appears on the Library and Archives website. On the 19 December, 2007, I e-mailed Pauline Portelance, Senior Media Relations Officer, Library and Archives Canada, asking for information about the meeting. To date, I have received no reply.
Public consultation without ample notice is NOT public consultation.
Library and Archives Canada's recent public consultation process for the Canadian Digital Information Strategy draft is an unfortunate example of LAC's current practice. Although LAC called "for comment by any interested person or organization", the draft was posted to the website without any fanfare 31 October, 2007 and comment was required by 23 November, 2007. Bloggers, including John D. Reid, of Anglo-Celtic Connections, were the first to comment, even before the draft was posted, and soon made it known along the web, so I hope many individuals commented on the draft. Few organized groups, however, would have been able to discuss the draft and respond in this very short length of time.
Today I will be writing both Ian Wilson, the Librarian and Archivist of Canada, and the Honourable Josée Verner, Minister of Canadian Heritage, asking for details of the 2008 consultation plan and pointing out the need to give sufficient time for public discussion, debate and comment.
I suggest that everyone in Canada's historical, genealogical and cultural communities do the same.
