The Growth of a Craft Labour Force : Montreal Leather Artisans, 1815‑1831
|
| Abstract |
Unlike earlier studies, which relied essentially on the snapshots provided by the manuscript censuses of 1831 and 1842, the author's case study combines a variety of sources in order to reconstitute the entire population of Montreal's leather trades between 1815 and 1831. She explains that the evidence provided by this important group of crafts shows that, while the British (English-speaking Anglophones) presence increased, it was primarily confined to the most transient elements of the artisan population. She shows that among craftsmen who settled in Montreal for extended periods of time, French Canadians remained dominant.
