This map shows some of the routes that had been proposed for a highway through western Canada to Alaska. It also provides a descriptive paragraph of Carcross YT. Type L to enlarge the view.
Bill expected to be sent to Carcross to work as a civilian on the second phase of construction of the Alaska Highway. He was flown into Whitehorse on June 13, 1943. Carcross lies between Whitehorse YT and Skagway, Alaska. Using his pen, he indicated the approximate location of his camp on this map.
This document and more than one hundred letters written by Bill to his wife Helen from Yukon Territories in 1943 are under the care of the Yukon Archives in Whitehorse: www.yukonmuseums.ca/museum/y_archive/y_archive.html

Greetings. My name is Andrew Jackson Wright. I work as an Archive Support Assistant here at Archives NZ. My main responsibility is to retrieve materials for researchers in the Reading Room. Without me no one gets their files - so be nice ;)
My favourite archive is “Fruity Bits” because it makes me nostalgic for a time in New Zealand when things seemed simpler. You didn’t have to worry about what you were doing on a Friday night because there was only one thing to do - go dancing. You didn’t need to worry about whether to have Thai or Malaysian for dinner because there were no Thai or Malaysian restaurants – only the Green Parrot.
This is the last known copy of “Fruity Bits”. On Febuary 15th 1932 a Miss Emily Mueller wrote to the Ministry of Internal affairs complaining of the publications ‘demoralising effect on our idle boys’. Miss Mueller supplied two copies of “Fruity Bits” with her letter. These are now in the collection of Archives NZ. The editor of “Fruity Bits”, John Tonking, was brought before the courts and convicted of ‘causing to be printed an indecent document’. He was fined 10 pounds and discharged. The remaining copies of “Fruity Bits” were destroyed. The Frolicsome Fun was over.

The Elingamite set out from Sydney for Auckland on 5 November 1902, with a crew of 58, carrying 136 passengers and 1,000 tons of cargo. On the 9th she was moving slowly in a thick fog and foundered on the Three Kings. Passengers and crew took to lifeboats. Most were rescued, but 45 lives were lost.
The telegram from the Auckland Collector of Customs announced “Sad news just received that the “Elingamite” is a total wreck on the Three Kings”
Another telegram (transcribed) lists the ships involved in the search for survivors, which included the Greyhound, the Clansman, the Countess of Ranfurly, HMS Penguin the Sterling and the Omapere. The Zealandia, which had also sailed from Sydney, picked up 70 survivors.
The images are taken from Customs records held at Archives New Zealand Auckland Regional Office [Archives reference: BBAO 5544/212/1902/993]
The Wellington Office of Archives New Zealand holds additional files on the wreck of the elingamite, including files on the attempted salvage of the wreck. These files can be searched for using our online finding aid Archway archway.archives.govt.nz/

James Busby arrived in New Zealand on 5 May 1833 to take up his duties as the British Resident in New Zealand, under the jurisdiction of the Governor of the Colony of New South Wales. Busby's main duties, outlined in instructions from Governor Richard Bourke, were to protect 'well disposed settlers and traders', to prevent outrages by Europeans against Māori and to apprehend escaped convicts. However, apart from the occasional naval visit, Busby was provided with no means of enforcing his authority. The British government refused to station a warship in New Zealand waters, and as a civilian Busby was not entitled to any troops.
This is Busby’s ‘Address to the Chiefs on the Occasion of the Adoption of a Flag’, which was written by him on 17 March 1834. It comes from the British Resident Record Group, which is mostly a collection of letters to Busby dating from his arrival in 1833.

Biography
We've all been there, spotted a news billboard outside a paper shop or petrol station and thought "eh, is it a slow news day in Chorley this week" while others are frankly hilarious, brilliantly surreal or just plain bizarre..
Welcome to The Chorley News Billboards Facebook page. It all started several years ago with the now legendary " POLICE HUNT CHORLEY BUM PINCHER' headline circa 2006! Spotted outside a petrol station... Since then we have been keeping an eye on these random news headlines and snapping them with our camera phones and sending them to each other for our own amusement…
After amassing quite a collection we have decided to share these with the good folk of Chorley and invite everyone else to submit their own entries to document life in a 21st century Lancashire Market Town... So camera phones at the ready and keep your eye on the headlines....Check our collection for suitable examples…
"Over the recent years, the world of news and media has been rife with scandal. Deception and corruption have shocked the nation. The need for a serious and reliable news source is crucial to our society, we are at breaking point. Feeling helpless? Wondering ‘what do we do?’
Lancashire has been through some dark times, and there to broadcast these crimes and atrocities has been the ‘ Lancashire Evening Post ’. "
"The Daily Mail's nightmares seem to come true every day of the week …….The world is in danger of collapsing under the supposed threat to civilisation. "
Este es el Manuscrito Informe de la fuerza española Naval y sus acciones militares en Chile y Perú: Estado Que en el dia de la fecha tiene el Vireinato de Lima; Provincias del de Buenos Ayres Recuperadas y conservadas Por el Ejercito del Alto Perú; y finalmente un en el ce que halla el Reyno de Chile [El Estado en esta fecha del Virreinato de Lima, las provincias de Buenos Aires, devueltos por el Ejército del Alto Perú; y, finalmente, el Estado del Reino de Chile].
Lima, 01 de noviembre de 1818.
Pequeño folio (ca. 31x21 cm). 6 páginas. Tinta marrón sobre papel verjurado con marcas de agua 'A' y 'PLA'. Texto en español en la escritura a mano legible.
Más tarde veteado por las envolturas del papel. Es un Manuscrito en muy buenas condiciones.
Históricamente significativo e importante informe periódico de la etapa final de la chilena (1810-1826) y del Perú (1811-1824).
Guerras de Independencia, compilada por las autoridades coloniales españolas. Nuestra copia al parecer perteneció a Joaquín de la Pezuela, primero marqués de Viluma (1761-1830), quien fue un virrey del Perú durante la Guerra de la Independencia: hay una frase manuscrita "Es copia Pezuela" en el final del texto.
El documento se divide en tres partes ("Vireinato de Lima", "Egéreito del Perú", y "Reyno de Chile") y comienza con el informe de avance de las fuerzas realistas (3.400 hombres bajo el mando del general Mariano de Osorio) de Callao para Talcahuano con el fin de recuperar Chile.
Sige a continuación las descripciones de Batalla de Cancha Rayada (18 de marzo 1818), Batalla de Maipú (5 de abril 1818), famoso Cruce de San Martín de los Andes (enero-febrero de 1817) y otros.
Una gran parte del texto está dedicado a las acciones del ejército de los realistas en el Alto Perú bajo el mando de José de la Serna e Hinojosa (1770-1832). Los informes de autor sobre el número de las fuerzas armadas en diferentes provincias del Vireinato de Lima y da una imagen de la guerra Perú de norte a sur.
Muy importante es el extenso material sobre la guerra naval cerca de las costas de Chile y Perú, y la acciones de la Primera Armada de Chile Escuadrón que se formó en 1817-1818 y, finalmente, "terminan el dominio colonial español en la costa sur-oeste de América del Sur" .
El informe enumera 12 buques de las fuerzas navales de los realistas (Las Fuerzas de mar): fragatas Esmeralda, Cleopatra, Presidenta y Venganza, bergantines Pezuela y Potrillo, corbeta Sebastian.
Hay notas sobre el estado y la cantidad de armas de fuego de cada buque.
Una lista separada se dedica a las naves enemigas (patriotas) y también detalla su artillería: Lautaro y Cumberland (comprado de la British East India Company); corbeta Coquimbo (comprado en los EE.UU.), cuatro bergantines, y siete corsarios (anglo-americano y francés).
Los informes de documentos sobre el bloqueo de Valparaíso en marzo-abril de 1818, y las acciones navales, por ejemplo, El ataque contra la Resolución, corbeta española, cerca de Callao por la fuerza de corsario, que consta de los marineros americanos, portugueses e irlandeses británicos (19 de octubre).
El texto concluye con la noticia de que el refuerzo naval para los realistas se ha apartado de España: Fragata Especulation dejó Cádiz el 21 de mayo con 6 funcionarios y 200 hombres del Regimiento de Cantabria, una parte de una fuerza más grande que se embarcará en Callao y se irá de inmediato para reforzar el ejército del Alto Perú.
Fragata María Isabel aumentará las fuerzas marítimas destinadas al bloqueo de Valparaíso. El autor no tiene ninguna duda de que "Nuestra fuerza marítima debe tener éxito en la destrucción de los rebeldes y nos dará ventaja en la reconquista de Chile".
So here's something that I imagine is a very rare find, especially in completely unopened mint condition! A 5-license educational copy of SimCity 2000 complete with special binder (for some reason), floppies, manual etc.! This is from an elementary school and was most likely purchased around ~1994-1996. Hard to know for sure, I doubt SC2k was available through Apple Education immediately upon release. Anyway, I'll leave this package unopened for now since I already have all the contents in my original retail box!

I'm intrigued by this postcard, bought recently in The Hague. It is written in Italian and I am presuming that it is an Italian soldier, but it is addressed to The Hague (using the French spelling, La Haye).
I can make out quite a bit of it but not enough to understand the significance.
Here's a transcription, with thanks to commenters below:
"Souvenir of the Great War in the years 1915-16-17 and of the Battles of Giulia and Tridentina. On the 16 June 1917"
Then there is a small addition in another hand that appears to read "C Canal ?. Boro". What is the significance? There is a suggestion below that it may be two names.
Interestingly, whilst addressed (seemingly to a Miss Carolina Roman/Romana/Romano) there is no stamp or evidence of posting. Then again, it's not exactly a complete address so I am presuming it was delivered by hand.

This German manuscript, written on paper ca. 1440, is a copy of Eberhard of Béthune's thirteenth-century grammatical poem Graecismus. The poem is here accompanied by the extensive gloss by Jean-Vincent Metulin, a scholar from Southern France. Having functioned as a textbook, the manuscript's condition suggests it was well-used by students eager to memorize and comprehend Béthune's ideas on the grammatical usage of Greek words.

After failing to find any weekly Moleskine diaries or other weekly diaries that I liked the look of and had SUNDAY as the starting date, I gave up and shelled out for a day-per-page diary.
In the process of learning/teaching myself to read, write and speak Japanese. My character writing skills have proved to be somewhat appalling, but I think that's down to me being so used to perfect the glyphs I use when using the English Lexicon. I have about five styles of writing, two of which are formal (one is my usual letter-writing hand, the other is a technical uppercase hand), and although my ascenders and descenders have evolved over the years, the basic principles of my styles have more or less stayed the same.
Please don't steal.
ROYAL NORWEGIAN CONSULATE GENERAL
Amsterdam, 16. desember 1977
Til ordføreren i Trondheim
herr Axel Buch
Det var meget gledelig å høre at Trondheim har funnet en utvei til å sende det tradisjonelle juletre til Amsterdam også iår.
Jeg hadde den ære å overrekke juletreet til Borgermesteren i Amsterdam, herr W. Polak den 7. desember på vegne av Trondheim kommune.
Borgermester Polak takket hjertelig for juletreet og nevnte bl.a. i svartalen at først da det ble kjent at treet ikke skulle komme oppdaget man hvor stor pris Amsterdams borgere egentlig setter på den årlige gaven fra Trondheim.
Deretter ble treet på tradisjonell måte overrakt til Frelsesarmeen.
Man har iår merket seg en større interesse fra pressens side enn det som var vanlig i sakens anledning, og jeg tillater meg derfor å vedlegge endel avisutklipp.
Vedlagt oversendes også et fotografi som ble tatt da fru Polak lot lysene tenne. Fra venstre ses Frelsesarmeens kommandant i Nederland major R. Berkenbosch, visekonsul J. A. Konings, Borgermester W. Polak, fru Polak og undertegnede.
Treet er iår meget pent og ankom Amsterdam uskadet.
Jeg ønsker Dem og Trondheim kommune en riktig god jul og et godt nytt år.

‘Enemy in sight bearing 325 degrees’: so began the first naval battle during the Second World War (13 December 1939). The 82-minute engagement between the German Admiral Graf Spee and its three smaller British opponents – Achilles, Ajax and Exeter – was inconclusive. All four were damaged, with the British ships suffering 72 fatalities to the Graf Spee's 36. But the German warship's subsequent withdrawal to the neutral Uruguayan port of Montevideo, and its dramatic scuttling by its own crew on 17 December, turned the Battle of the River Plate into a major allies victory.
These four telegrams come from the actual engagement, and document key moments in the battle.
The first records the sighting of Graf Spee. Four minutes later, Graf Spee opened fire. Exeter, closing fast, replied two minutes later. At first the Germans responded by splitting their armament, but then concentrated the fire of all six 11-inch guns on Exeter. Within six minutes, several shells had hit Exeter, causing heavy damage and loss of life. Despite having one turret knocked out, Exeter remained in action, and took more hits. At 6.32 it fired torpedoes at the enemy ship, but they missed. In all, 61 members of Exeter's crew were killed or mortally wounded during the action.
The telegram in red is from the Exeter, which by this time had withdrawn from the battle.
While Graf Spee concentrated on Exeter, Ajax and Achilles closed in. Achilles opened fire at 6.21 a.m. and Ajax two minutes later. Their 16 smaller guns scored numerous hits, though the damage was limited by the small weight of the shells. Even so, the fire discomfited the Germans and, at 6.30, they again split their main armament. One 11-inch gun turret fired on the light cruisers. Ajax was straddled by shells three times. The second telegram records Ajax’s position at 7.12am.
Graf Spee now retired to the west at full speed. With Exeter out of the fight, the German ship could concentrate on Ajax and Achilles. The latter, carrying out what was later described as ‘beautiful shooting', continued to score hits. But the weight of the German shells presented a major threat. At 7.40 a.m. the light cruisers turned away under smoke. In the 82-minute action Achilles' sweating gun crews had fired more than 200 broadsides.
Graf Spee then set course for the River Plate estuary. The battle became a pursuit. There were occasional flurries as Graf Spee turned on its pursuers, firing salvoes to keep them back; several fell close to the British ships. Eventually, after traversing 300 miles, Graf Spee entered Montevideo. It dropped anchor shortly after midnight, and as the last telegram notes, blew itself up rather than being captured.

This book of English heraldry was completed ca. 1589. The manuscript belonged to the Spencer family, as known through inscriptions on the first few flyleaves, including the motto "Dieu defende Le Droit" (God defends the right). This motto has long been associated with the Spencer family of England, which is the family line of Princess Diana, as well as the Spencers who were among the founders of Virginia. The Spencer family's heraldry is included in the manuscript, along with the coats of arms of numerous prominent British families, including the Hasting, Gray, Beuford, and Percye families. There is another similar book of English Heraldry in the British Library, Stowe MS 693, which was also completed at the end of the sixteenth century.

Grandma Inis never knew what the internet was, and she has no idea that her old recipes are now posted on the internet, but I wanted to save and preserve them for her Great Great Grandchildren that are now living in her houses. It looks like the book wore out many decades ago, and Grandpa had to sew it back together for her, but with a little computer enhancement, I am still able to read her writing. I see a lot of lard being used, and I do not know if my doctor will allow that for me today, but I sure remember the food was great. If anyone wants any certain pages, just email me; the JPGs are about 2MB each.
