The Diary of Thomas Hughes

Nina Reid Maroney, Huron University College, Canada

Abstract

The Thomas Hughes Diary Project is a venture that has taken its shape through the collaborative efforts of the Diocese of Huron Verschoyle Philip Cronyn Memorial Archives, the office of Community Based Learning at Huron University College , the Promised Land Project (a Community-University Research Alliance funded by SSHRC), and dedicated university students. As upper year history students at Huron University College located in London, Ontario the ‘Historian’s Craft Class of 09/10’ sought to apply the theoretical concepts studied in the classroom to this unique opportunity. As the next generation of historians, we are proud to present this project in digital form.
