The pioneering geology of Sir William Edmond Logan laid the groundwork for the Geological Survey of Canada, the Canadian Museum of Nature, the Canadian Museum of Civilization, and the Canada Museum of Science and Technology. This volume presents Logan's 1845 field journal, written on a geological expedition up the Ottawa River from Bytown to Lake Timiskaming. The journal is sprinkled with fascinating stories of daily life during the expedition, supplemented with Logan's sketches of the landscape and geological features. An introductory essay provides insight into Logan's records, the survey instruments he used, and the significance of his 1845 fieldwork.

Mi'kmaq and Maliseet Cultural Ancestral Material has been designed to provide images and basic information on Mi'kmaq and Maliseet artifacts held in the collections of the Canadian Museum of Civilization. Drawing on objects collected, sold, or donated between 1841 and the present day, this publication provides a fascinating look at the richness of Mi'kmaq and Maliseet cultural practice, technological ingenuity, and artistic expression. Objects such as baskets, canoes, clothing, moccasins, and tools are illustrated with a color photograph and accompanied by a brief text describing the object and its provenance. The result is a comprehensive reference tool for Native peoples, researchers, and educators.
