Allan Lomax Collection (Folkways)
The Sound Recordings catalog comprises over 17,400 digital audio files, beginning with Lomax’s first recordings onto (newly invented) tape in 1946 and tracing
his career into the 1990s. In addition to a wide spectrum of musical performances from around the world, it includes stories, jokes, sermons, personal narratives,
interviews conducted by Lomax and his associates, and unique ambient artifacts captured in transit from radio broadcasts, sometimes inadvertently, when Alan left
the tape machine running.

The link below will take you to a page on that site dealing with the resettlement program.
The document is from a household questionnaire that was used by the Newfoundland government in 1966 concerning the resettlement program.

Royal Bank Currency Converters so I know ahead of time what I'm in for.
Some other Highlights of General Interest are : Canadian Postal Code look up.
In the Newfoundland catagory you'll find a link to the
Newfoundland Act which is the Terms of Union
agreed between Canada and Newfoundland [23rd March 1949]

I put this page here for my own benefit. Sometimes when I'm staying with a friends,
family or just visiting someone I often whish I had my cook books with me when I
decide to make a meal. With this page I do. Here are some of my favourite recipes.
I noticed that when I tried to print a recipe the whole page printed instead of
the one recipe I was viewing. To correct this I've added a 'Printer Friendly'
button to each recipe.

As you can see I have a java script which lets me encode my email address so web
spiders and crawlers won't be able to see my email address and add it to the dreaded
Junk Email List
I found this script on the net and it was written by Jim Tucek.
I used to have a web link to his script but alas his site has vanished.
