Useful Education for the Workingman: The Montreal Mechanics' Institute, 1828-70
|
| Abstract |
The story of the Montreal Mechanics’ Institute, the first institution of its kind in British North America, covers 159 years and falls into two distinct periods. The Montreal Mechanics’ Institution operated from 1828 until 1835 when it lapsed due to social and political pressures. Revived in 1840 as the Montreal Mechanics’ Institute, it continues to this day as the Atwater Library of Montreal.
