A Fresh Start: Bulletin of the Canadian Baptist Historical Society

5M ago
By Taylor Murray In the 1990s, the CBHS published a biannual periodical titled The Bulletin of the Canadian Baptist Historical Society. Under the excellent editorial guidance of Dr. Michael A. G. Haykin, each edition contained academic articles, book notes, and announcements. It was designed to be a “substantial means of information and incentive for Canadian scholars involved in researching aspects of Baptist history, in particular those relating to Canada.”1 For the last several decades, the CBHS has not published the Bulletin. In its place, it has focused its publishing efforts on its book ..read more

Baptists and Digital Research in Canada, Part Two: Canadian Baptist Archives

By Taylor Murray Whether due to distance, time constraints, or pandemics, historians are not always able to visit archives for research. In my last post on this blog, I wrote about a few of the many resources relating to Baptists in Canada that are freely accessible online. While these materials are easily browsable on their respective websites, they are not the only sources available in a digital format. The Canadian Baptist Archives (CBA) in Hamilton, Ontario, has also scanned a variety of sources, many of which are available upon request and approval.1 Survey of Material Among the primary s ..read more

Baptists and Digital Research in Canada, Part One: Some Notable Resources

By Taylor Murray The pandemic caused many difficulties for a lot of people – some were serious, while others were minor inconveniences. Although certainly closer to the latter than the former, one such struggle for historians was the amount that it limited our research. Much like everything else in the country, archives were closed to the public, so unless you knew an archivist who was willing to go above and beyond, you were sometimes stuck with what research you already had. (I once heard someone refer to late-2020 to mid-2021 as “the year of the literature review.”) Fortunately for many of ..read more

Baptist Fundamentalists and the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Early Twentieth Century

By Taylor Murray Canadians love hockey.1 It is practically part of our national image, right up there with maple syrup and the beaver. One of the most popular (and, perhaps, equally reviled) hockey teams in the country is the Toronto Maple Leafs, which dates its history back to 1917.2They played first in the Garden District of downtown Toronto before relocating a few blocks north to the famous Maple Leaf Gardens on the corner of Carlton and Church Street in 1931. Another major Toronto landmark was located close to both locations: Jarvis Street Baptist Church, where the fundamentalist leader, T ..read more
