| Title |
Location, Location, Location: David Ross McCord and the Making of Canadian History
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the role of place in the creation of personal and public memory, as exemplified by Montreal's McCord Museum, founded in 1921. The museum's founder, David Ross McCord (1844-1930), sought to promote a version of Canadian history in which family and personal myth were conflated with that of nation. The author argues that McCord’s highly personal narrative of Canadian origins was conceived in the private space of the home and was made manifest through the repetitive act of remembering.
