7. The Canadian West Discovered: An Exhibition of Printed Maps from the 16th to Early 20th Century (Glenbow Museum, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, January 26-April 15, 1983).

Author

Glenbow Museum, Calgary (Alberta). and Javorski, Mary

Abstract

This document provides historical research from the earliest French experiences on the upper North American peninsula through today. Approximately 50 maps have been provided outlining the evolution of information that has been collected by those who sought to explore the region. Most of these explorers were trading company employees who were hired as scientists to map out the best trade routes across this massive land. Later mapping expeditions were carried out by the government. Over time inventions such as the printing machine and better transportation allowed more information to be collected which produced better quality maps. These higher quality maps played a significant role in the way Canada was settled. The maps are presented in five sections: (1) The West before Exploration and Settlement, Maps 1-6; (2) Exploration through the Arctic, Maps 7-14; (3) Exploration and Settlement by Sea, Maps 15-31; (4) Exploration Overland, Maps 32-44; and (5) The Settlement Period, Maps 45-50.

Abstract

The challenge of this book is to go beyond the realm of cultural diplomacy when it comes to outlining Canadian studies. Based on renewed research into the imaginary of the North, the book explores transnordic narrative spaces between Canada, the Nordic countries and the Baltic states. Although the book takes cultural studies as its theoretical basis, opposing a diplomatic perspective and arguing that there is a specificity to Canadian culture that requires the attention of the academic world, each chapter draws on theories and methods specific to the various fields of the humanities and social sciences concerned with addressing the narratives (understood in a broad sense and including visual narratives) of this northern space.
