Celebrating Historical Research and Historical Researchers: Women and Botany in 19th<\/sup>-Century Canada. An Illustrated Talk<\/strong><\/p>\n

Papers in the\u00a0Transactions of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec<\/em>\u00a0from the 1820s and 1830s are historical documents by individuals in early 19th<\/sup>-century Canada who were searching for knowledge about nature in a \u00ab\u00a0new land\u00a0\u00bb and who also wanted to \u00ab\u00a0excite in the rising generation a taste for scientific knowledge and pursuits.\u00a0\u00bb Two women were among the researchers: Christian Ramsay (Countess Dalhousie), who contributed a \u00ab\u00a0Catalogue of Canadian Plants collected in 1827,\u00a0\u00bb and Harriet Sheppard (\u00ab\u00a0Mrs. Sheppard\u00a0\u00bb), who wrote about shells and Canadian songbirds in Quebec and had a keen interest in plants.<\/p>\n

This talk celebrates women who pursued knowledge of nature, especially knowledge about plants, in 19th<\/sup>-century Canada. It features Lady Dalhousie and Anne Mary Perceval in Quebec, Catharine Parr Traill and Alice Hollingworth in Ontario, and Mary Brenton in Newfoundland. Who were they? How did they come to know about plants? What were their contributions? What did their work mean to them? How do we find them? And where do we find material by them and about them?<\/p>\n
