Tweedsmuir histories save heritage
What rural women’s group has
preserved the history of the farms,
buildings and places of interest in
their communities so that the
present and future citizens of
Canada will know of the hardships
and happiness of rural Canada?
In 1935, Lady Tweedsmuir, wife
of the then Governor General of
Canada, herself a devoted Wo
men’s Institute member in Eng
land spoke at the Athens Women’s
Institute branch in Leeds East
District and stressed the need for
perserving the interesting history
of our Canadian people, the places,
customs and activities of a develop
ing land. The Federated Women’s
Institute of Ontario seized the
opportunity and from there the
Tweedsmuir Histories as they have
now become known are part of the
work that the Women’s Institute
branches throughout Canada have
been doing for all Canadians.
Among the topics covered in
these books are the geography and
topography of the area, municipal
government, farming in all its
aspects, homes, education, trade
and commerce, recreation, com
plete histories of individual farms
and families, the churches and
their organizations, schools,
libraries, industries past and
present and anything special about
the district. Altogether the com
munity history is a comprehensive,
factual collection of historical data
and treasured pictures of a local
community provided by the Wo
men’s Institute members, of the
people, for the people of the
locality.
The Federated Women’s Insti
tutes of Canada have received the
Award of Merit from the American
Association for Local History, for
initiating the Tweedsmuir Histor
ies and the Certificate of Merit for
their contribution to local History
in Canada.
The Women’s Institutes have
put in long hours to produce these
histories of their communities.
Some branches have published
their histories while others have
microfilmed their histories and
these can be seen at local libraries.
Each year the Tweedsmuir
History Curators of the London
Area have a workshop to up-date
their skills. This year it was at
Wallacetown, in Elgin West.
Attending from Huron West was
Mrs. Alice Porter, Mrs. Effie Yeo
and Mrs. Jean Lobb, all of
Goderich Township.
The Women’s Institutes of the
London Area are proud to be
preserving the history of the rural
communities for present and fu
ture Canadians. No other group is
doing it in such an organized way.
Without a past you cannot have a
future.
