Excerpt from A History of the Ottawa Collegiate Institute, 1843-1903: With Contributions by Ex-Pupils and Friends of the School There is an inherent value in history, even in local history; hence it has been thought wise to give the Ottawa Collegiate Institute a historical standing if possible, and thus to enshrine it more thoroughly in the minds and hearts of its many ex-pupils. Why should we not cherish the memory of our old schools? England keeps green the memory of her great schools, such as Winchester, Westminster, Cheltenham, Clifton, Marlborough, Rugby and Eton. History is being made rapidly in young Canada and will be rapidly forgotten, unless some records of her institutions are kept. In this Collegiate Institute it is to be regretted no records have been kept. Thanks are due to S. J. Jarvis for pictures; and to all Trustees, Principals, Teachers and others who kindly loaned their photographs, to illustrate this volume. Special thanks are due to all the contributors, for without their aid the book could not have been produced as it is. The names of all contributors may be found at the end of their articles. Special mention must be made of the Editorial Committee for their time and care in editing the book as the work entailed a great deal of labor. Mention should also be made of D. A. Campbell, B. A. and A. H. McDougall, B. A. for special help in compiling the lists of medallists and graduates respectively. It was impossible in a volume of this size to deal exhaustively with all questions of interest in the history of the School, therefore a selection had to be made. It would have been well if more space had been given to the work of many teachers - other than the Head-Masters - who have given good service to the School during portions of the sixty years; in this respect the book fails. Among the illustrations it was desirable to include the photographs of many of the illustrious ex-pupils of the School, but the numbers were so great that it was utterly impossible to make a selection that might not give offence.

Bridging the fields of conservation, art history, and museum curating, this volume contains the principal papers from an international symposium titled "Historical Painting Techniques, Materials, and Studio Practice" at the University of Leiden in Amsterdam, Netherlands, from June 26 to 29, 1995. The symposium—designed for art historians, conservators, conservation scientists, and museum curators worldwide—was organized by the Department of Art History at the University of Leiden and the Art History Department of the Central Research Laboratory for Objects of Art and Science in Amsterdam. Twenty-five contributors representing museums and conservation institutions throughout the world provide recent research on historical painting techniques, including wall painting and polychrome sculpture. Topics cover the latest art historical research and scientific analyses of original techniques and materials, as well as historical sources, such as medieval treatises and descriptions of painting techniques in historical literature. Chapters include the painting methods of Rembrandt and Vermeer, Dutch 17th-century landscape painting, wall paintings in English churches, Chinese paintings on paper and canvas, and Tibetan thangkas. Color plates and black-and-white photographs illustrate works from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
Over the concluding decades of the twentieth century, the historic preservation community increasingly turned its attention to modern buildings, including bungalows from the 1930s, gas stations and diners from the 1940s, and office buildings and architectural homes from the 1950s. Conservation efforts, however, were often hampered by a lack of technical information about the products used in these structures, and to fill this gap Twentieth-Century Building Materials was developed by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Park Service and first published in 1995. Now, this invaluable guide is being reissued—with a new preface by the book’s original editor. With more than 250 illustrations, including a full-color photographic essay, the volume remains an indispensable reference on the history and conservation of modern building materials. Thirty-seven essays written by leading experts offer insights into the history, manufacturing processes, and uses of a wide range of materials, including glass block, aluminum, plywood, linoleum, and gypsum board. Readers will also learn about how these materials perform over time and discover valuable conservation and repair techniques. Bibliographies and sources for further research complete the volume. The book is intended for a wide range of conservation professionals including architects, engineers, conservators, and material scientists engaged in the conservation of modern buildings, as well as scholars in related disciplines.
