Oxford County Ontario Cemeteries

Dave Cooper maintains the Oxford County Genweb page. One section of this genealogy site took me 10 years to amass, the Oxford County Ontario Cemeteries Webpage at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~dcoop/

This cemetery webpage consists of more than 100,000 headstone photographs, maps and information of all 102 cemeteries found in the County of Oxford. Each cemetery contains a list of existing surnames as well as the corresponding headstone photograph. Be warned, the webpage does not include every burial, only those with a decipherable headstone engraving. Viewers and relatives have added plenty of missing headstone information and I have included it with the headstone photograph and or surname.

If you wish to add information to the this headstone photograph site, feel free to email me anytime at oxfcem@bell.net

The fight to save Canada's Archives

On May 28th librarians & archivists made their way to Ottawa to participate in the Archivists’ On to Ottawa Trek to protest funding cuts to Canada's libraries & archives.

On May 31st attendees of the Canadian Library Association Conference are being asked to show their support by wearing a white shirt and/or black ribbon.

But it doesn't stop there. YOUR help is needed. Why?

If you are a genealogist, regardless of where in the world you live, these funding cuts will affect your ability to search for Canadian relations.
 
How?

- Digitization has been cut by 50%. The past few decades LAC has brought us thousands of digital records all freely accessible from their website. With digitization cut in half we'll see a significant drop in the records being brought online. Many genealogists are anticipating the release of the 1921 census next year, with these cuts will it be made available?

- Staff cuts. When you write to a library or archive who answers your inquiry? When you visit who helps you locate the records you seek? With 450 LAC staff on notice (215 whose jobs will be eliminated) who will be able to help you?

- Preservation. 30% of the staff charged with preserving non-governmental records have been eliminated. Many records will be destroyed because there is no funding to preserve or store them. Is the elusive piece to your genealogy puzzle among them?

- Inter-library loan. Starting in 2013 it will no longer be possible to request microfilm, books or other materials from other libraries. If your local library or archive doesn't have what you need, you're out of luck!

- Library closures. With lack of stuff, funding and programming support many libraries will either have to cut services significantly or close. Among those affected are Transport Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Parks Canada, Citizenship & Immigration Canada... and many many more.

These cuts are not isolated to the services provided by Library & Archives Canada. They are not isolated to the staff losing their jobs. These cuts affect everyone who uses or benefits from our archive & library services.

How you can help

   Visit the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) website Save Library & Archives Canada and get involved. (Even if you live outside Canada!)

  Sign a Petition

   If you live in Canada write to your local member of parliament

Help save Library & Archives Canada!

Library & Archives Canada, the instituation charged with preserving Canada's history, is facing massive budget cuts.

This will have a huge impact not just on today's genealogists, historians and researchers, but long lasting effects on preserving our present for the future.

Many collections will be destroyed as there is no place to store the documents. LAC is also cutting many services that are vital to researchers including Inter-Library Loan.

This is a devastating blow to genealogists and it's up to us to fight this ruling and help preserve the collections and services offered by Library & Archives Canada.

Not that long ago we won the fight to retain access to Canada's post 1901 census records, by coming together in support of Library & Archives Canada we can make a difference!

What you can do:

•    Visit the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) website Save Library & Archives Canada and get involved. (Even if you live outside Canada!)
•    If you live in Canada write to your local member of parliament

Suggestions?
Do you know of other ways we can help preserve Canada's history and access to it?  Please leave a comment.

Ancestor Recognition Project has been growing with many submitted cemetery transcriptions and cemetery photographs! All transcriptions are part of an online searchable Canada wide cemetery database at Canada GenWeb. If you can help with typing from online cemetery photograph pages or if you can submit cemetery photographs or transcriptions, please E-mail. We can provide the free webspace and web page programming here.

Saskatchewan One Room School House project "In 1979, the new School Act abolished all rural school districts which now exist only in the memory of those who cherished their little country school house." It is to assist memory preservation, and to honour the history of education in the province which gave birth to the Saskatchewan One Room School House project. With wonderful submissions from kind viewers like you, the one room school house project has grown with new photograph additions, historical reminiscences and a new database addition. The footnotes page has expanded and the alphabetical index has increased with locations of historic one room school houses. Have a look at the digital preservation of Saskatchewan One Room School Houses.

In particular, as of late, there have been a few new additions to

  Census Page on the Saskatchewan Gen Web Site.
