Charles Camsell was born in Fort Liard, Northwest Territories in 1876, son of a trading post manager. He attended school and university in Winnipeg, Charles Camsell moved back to Fort Simpson. In 1900 during a trip Fort Providence h met James MacIntosh Bell of the Geological Survey, who was on his way to explore around Great Bear Lake and south to Great Slave Lake. Bell asked Camsell to join his expedition because of his knowledge of and languages spoken in the area. During the next two years, Camsell continued prospecting usually with Bell. He explored the James Bay region for iron, prospected for gypsum in Manitoba, and found quartz with a gold-coloured vein in northern Ontario. Early in June 1904, Camsell was appointed to the Geological Survey of Canada, and a career of over 40 years in the Civil Service began. Early surveys included the Severn River area of Ontario and the Peel River, the latter involving 2500 miles of river travel in the Yukon and Northwest Territories. Then for. two years he conducted geological work in British Columbia. In January 1914 Camsell was given a new appointment Geologist in Charge of Explorations, with the task of exploring all unsurveyed parts of Canada. By the time he had completed his first exploration World War I had broken out. He enlisted in the Engineers but was soon removed from the army to search for minerals vital to the war effort - tungsten, mercury, potash, manganese, chromite, and magnesite.
In 1920 Camsell was promoted to Deputy Minister of Mines and later, when several departments were merged, Deputy Minister of Mines and Resources. He was also
appointed to the National Research Council, the International Niagara Board, and later to the post of Commissioner of the Northwest- Territories. He retired in 1945 and died in Ottawa in 1958.

The Credit Institute of Canada was created by a special Act of Parliament on June 11, 1928 and is the only organization, which grants official designations to professionals in the Canadian credit field. The objective of the Institute is to provide its members with the most current and comprehensive educational programs in credit and financial management to meet the needs of students and the business community. During the postwar era of the 1920s, the dynamic growth of business across Canada gave rise to an increased need for credit management. At the time, members of the C.C.M.T.A. (Canadian Credit Men’s Trust Association Ltd.) realized that in order to build on the credit profession, it was necessary to establish an institution dedicated to the needs of credit managers. Their vision was an institution that would oversee the implementation and monitoring of national standards for credit management. This vision began to take shape in early 1926, when a group of prominent credit executives met, to lay the foundation for the establishment of the Credit Institute of Canada. At that time, the designations of A.C.I M.C.I and F.C.I. for members were established, subject to government approval. By December of 1927, an application was made to the Dominion of Canada to formally incorporate and formally recognize the Institute as a non-profit professional association. On June 11, 1928, a Special Act of Parliament (Chapter 76 of the Statutes of Canada, 18-19 George V, Part 2) was passed, and the Credit Institute of Canada was born. The first three chapters of the Credit Institute were established in 1929 and as the need for sound credit management began to win greater recognition, additional chapters sprang up across the country. Since 1928 the Institute has undergone numerous changes. Originally belonging to the C.C.M.T.A. (now known as Creditel of Canada Ltd.) the Institute has since become completely independent. Course studies, originally lasting two years have expanded to four years; and the name of the Institute has changed twice from the Canadian Credit Institute to the Canadian Institute of Credit and Financial Management and finally to Credit Institute of Canada. On the day of its founding, the Institute made history by becoming the first professional association to offer a business correspondence course in conjunction with a recognized university (University of Toronto). As a pioneer in the field of offering business correspondence courses, the Institute paved the way for other professional associations to follow.

Andrew D. Clarke was first a newspaperman and then a radio broadcaster. He was born July 13, 1882 in Grimsby, Ontario. Clarke got his start in journalism at the age of 22 following a conversation with Lou Marsh, legendary sports reporter for the Toronto Star. Marsh helped land Clarke an interview with one of the seven Toronto dailies of the day, The World. After nine years at The World, Andy took a job at the London Advertiser. Four years later, Clarke got a call from the Toronto Globe where he remained for 16 years until The Globe was amalgamated with The Mail and Empire to become the Globe and Mail.
While at The Globe, Clarke initiated “The Southeast Corner”, a short two-column feature that appeared in the same spot on The Globe’s front page. This column contained humourous stories from small towns across Ontario and Quebec. Stories about “Barrel-bellied pumpkins, two-headed calves, a dog that could play the piano, raspberries in November, a boy who could sing bass, a pike that had swallowed an alarm clock, a school teacher who crocheted, a parsnip that looked like a person.” There was an endless supply of content for The Southeast Corner which provided a measure of relief during the dark days of the Depression.
When radio arrived in Canada in the early 1920s, Andy Clarke began broadcasting the news every night from the newsroom of The Globe. He had a down-home approach and a friendly neighbourly voice that appealed to a wide audience. Clarke’s love of picking out stories from the local newspaper feeds also filled his nightly broadcasts with stories and anecdotes along with the news of the day.
When The Globe was bought by The Mail and Empire in November 1936, Clarke soon found himself out of a job. But not for long. The CBC had been “thinking about a weekly news broadcast of a different sort, that would deal with the homely happenings of everyday life in Ontario, the things that were never touched on in news bulletins that dealt with the daily grist of disaster, crime and international worries.” Andy Clarke’s name came to the fore and on Sunday, January 7, 1940, the first broadcast of Andy Clarke and his Neighbourly News hit the airwaves. Clarke also travelled to small towns and would broadcast to live audiences.

Founded in the aftermath of the Second World War, the Council of Europe is Europe’s oldest political organisation. The idea of convening a European assembly first arose at the Congress of Europe, held in The Hague on 10 May 1948 by the International Committee of the Movements for European Unity. In the years immediately following the Second World War, many pro-European movements actively promoted the establishment of an organisation that would prevent a return to totalitarian regimes and would defend fundamental freedoms, peace and democracy. The Congress closed with the participants adopting a political resolution calling for the convening of a European assembly, the drafting of a charter of human rights and the setting up of a court of justice responsible for ensuring compliance with that charter. The Council was signed into being August, 3, 1949.

Charles Trick Currelly was born at Exeter, Ontario in 1876. Although trained as a Methodist minister, following his graduation from the University of Toronto, he devoted himself to archaeological work, first in Egypt, and later in Crete and Asia Minor. It was in Egypt that Currelly discovered he had a talent for collecting: a nose for bargains and an ability to distinguish the genuine article from the fake. He began collecting for people in Britain and Canada, including Sir Edmund Walker, the father of a classmate and a prominent Torontonian who wished to establish a major museum in the city. With money provided by private donors, the University of Toronto and the Government of Ontario, Currelly began collecting for the future museum. He was appointed director of the Royal Ontario Museum of Archaeology in 1914 and held this position until his retirement in 1946. Currelly’s energy and audacity helped advance the new Museum’s interests. In 1907 while in Egypt, he was visited on site by a group of Torontonians. He was making a cast of a temple wall for the Museum but explained he lacked the money to colour it. Sir Edmund Osler and Harry Warren offered the needed funds and later became lifelong supporters of the ROM. Currelly never ceased looking for acquisitions and the collections grew enormously through the late 1910s and the 1920s. A visionary museum-builder, Currelly dedicated his life to the ROM. He believed museums had an educational purpose: to display the material achievements of humanity through all time, so as to inspire the present-day. When he finally retired, the ROM re-named the old Armour Court as the Currelly Gallery (now Samuel Hall Samuel Hall Currelly Gallery Currelly Gallery). Shortly before his death, he published his autobiography, I Brought the Ages Home. The book is filled with tales of the adventures and people he encountered in his travels and museum work.

Founded in 1920 by Charlotte Whitton, the organization was initially known as the Canadian Council on Child Welfare. Ten years later, when its mandate was broadened to include families, it became the Canadian Council on Child and Family Welfare.

He set up the school to offer training in the repair of movie and radio equipment and the curriculum eventually expanded to include training in the repair of televisions and other electronics. In 1953 the school changed its name to DeVry Technical Institute, and four years later it was granted accreditation to bestow associate's degrees in electronics. DeVry eventually branched out into computers and accounting, and built more campuses in the Chicago and Toronto areas. In 1967, the Bell & Howell Company, best known perhaps for its role in inventing movie cameras, completed its acquisition of the school, and a fast-paced, nationwide expansion program ensued. The following year, the school underwent another name change, to DeVry Institute of Technology. In 1969 DeVry was authorized to award bachelor's degrees in electronics.

Underwood and Underwood was established in 1882 by Bert and Elmer Underwood in Ottawa, Kansas. Originally they distributed stereographs made by eastern photographers in the Western United States. In 1884, they had expanded their franchise across North America and by 1889 opened offices in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and Liverpool, England. By 1890 Underwood & Underwood began publishing original stereographs taken by Bert Underwood. Underwood & Underwood was considered one of the most successful stereoscope publishers in North America in 1901.Underwood & Underwood began producing 25,000 views per day and 300,000 stereoscopes annually. It is suggested that in the earlier years of the company, Underwood & Underwood used H.C. White Company’s stereoscope model until developing their own. The principle stereoscope design by Underwood & Underwood included aluminum hoods, cardholders, and a folding handle. An easy identifiable feature of Underwood & Underwood stereoscopes is the friction joint built to fold the handle.

In 1910 the firm began specialising in news photography, ultimately stopping production of stereographs in 1920. Between 1912 and 1925 the company would sell the entirety of their glass stereo collection to competitor Keystone View Co.. By 1925 both brothers retired, leading to the reorganization of the company into four independent organisations all staying beneath the title of "Underwood & Underwood." These four branches included Underwood & Underwood Illustration Studios of New York, Chicago and Detroit; Underwood & Underwood Portraits, Inc., New York, Philadelphia and Cleveland; Underwood & Underwood, Washington and Chicago; Underwood & Underwood News Photos, Inc., New York.

André Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri (1819-1889) patented the carte-de-visite in 1854. He manufactured images by dividing a single glass plate negative to make 10 different exposures. Next, the exposures were printed collectively to produce a series of pocket sized photographs. Carte-de-visites were popular until the end of the 1860s when they were replaced by cabinet cards. Following 1877 Disdéri moved to Nice running several photography studios until the late 1880s when he returned to Paris.

G.W. Wilson is a Scottish photographer (1823-1893). He began his career photographing war ships in 1857. Following 1859 Wilson photographed various Scottish landscapes.

Geoffrey Drayton was born on the island of Barbados on February 13, 1924, near Bridgetown. Drayton graduated from Harrison College at the age of 19. He taught for a year at Lodge School before leaving Barbados for England, where he attended Cambridge and studied Economics, attaining both undergraduate and graduate degrees in that discipline. He returned to Barbados once his studies were completed and after another teaching stint he left for Ottawa. While he was there. Ryerson Press in Toronto published, in 1950, Three Meridians, a collection of his poetry.
Drayton found his way back to England where he began a career as a writer for the Petroleum Times, a trade publication for the oil industry, where he assumed the role of editor a few years later. In that capacity he traveled the world, principally the Middle East, during which time he also acted as an advisor to many governments on matters concerning the petroleum industry. This was his job, but his first love was writing and that passion never waned. Through the late 1940’s and 1950’s, various pieces of Drayton’s work appeared in Bim, a West Indies literary journal. In 1958, Coles Printery produced an excerpt of Drayton’s unpublished novel, reprinted from Bim, Vol. vii, no. 26, entitled “Christopher.” In 1959, Collins in England published Drayton’s first novel, Christopher, which was followed two years later by Zohara, published by Secker & Warburg, also in the United Kingdom. He wrote at least five novels, yet Christopher and Zohara are the only published novels Drayton has to his credit. He produced a number of memorable poems and short stories, one of which may be the most anthologized story yet written by a Barbadian, “Mr. Dombey the Zombie,” a whimsical supernatural tale that has appeared in numerous collections of ghost and horror stories over the years.
