The Memorial Church Port Ryerse Plate
Part of Miscellaneous Archival Materials
One commemorative plate with a church illustration and the inscription"The Memorial Church Port Ryerse." The church was most likely an Anglican Memorial Church (United Empire Loyalist) established by Port Ryerse's founding father Samuel Ryerson (1752-1812) and his brother Joseph Ryerson (1761-1854).
"The quaint historic village of Port Ryerse is located west of Port Dover and sits high on a hill overlooking the north shore of Lake Erie. It is a small community imbued with history dating back to the early beginning of our illustrious province. Village founding father Loyalist Samuel Ryerse (1752-1812) arrived in 1795 at the mouth of Young's Creek in Woodhouse Township.
The Ryerse family had originally lived on a farm located in the heart of Manhattan, New York, on land later occupied by the World Trade Center.
Samuel’s brother, Joseph Ryerson (1761-1854), followed in 1798. Historians will be familiar with Joseph’s youngest son, the Rev. Adolphus Egerton Ryerson, acknowledged founder of Ontario's public school system and for whom Ryerson University is named.
Together, Samuel and Joseph established a thriving and vibrant port community. Unfortunately, all that was built was soon lost; the village was razed by the Americans during the War of 1812. "

Part of Miscellaneous Archival Materials
One Northern Telecom telephone was used on campus during the Ryerson Polytechnical Institute years. Known as a push-button or a Touch-Tone, this type of telephone was first introduced in Canada in 1964, but not widely used until the 1980s. This telephone is a desk, single-line phone with a paper faceplate that doubles as a telephone use guide. Functions, such as placing a call on hold, transferring an incoming call, conference calls, forwarding the phone line to another telephone, and other functions were performed by briefly pressing the switch hook, waiting for a tone, then using the guide to utilize the '*' or '#' keys in combination with the numeric keys. "Ryerson" appears on the paper faceplate and an emergency Security extension number 5040. An extension number for the phone is written on a separately applied label above the faceplate that also gives emergency information (dial "80") and additional Security extension numbers.
Manufactured in Canada and factory wired (cable is not removable), the telephone is identified by its telephone set number, QSQE2500, and as electronic by "ePhone" both on its base. It comes with a 'DIGITONE' network/dial (number QDM25 BX 6-82 or simply QDM25B), which consists of the push-button keypad and its workings connecting the telephone to a network. The handset is identified as a G-type referring to its shape. Patent dates on the telephone are 1968 1970 ; RPI inventory # 35810 label was applied to its base.
