Acknowledgements

We would like to thank Mr. Myron Groover, Librarian at the McMaster University’s Archives and Rare Books, and Mr. Michael Moir, Archivist at the Clara Thomas Archives and Special Collections at York University, who provided multimedia content, advice and student guidance for our PortCities Hamilton and Toronto projects.

The public history objectives for the Hamilton (2021-2022) and Toronto (2022-2023) projects would not have been possible without support from the Humanities Research Institute at Brock University, who provided funding to hire research assistants and to develop and maintain the PortCities website.
