	Neighbours: In the Shadow of Osgoode Hall
		The Law Society of Upper Canada Archives. «'Neighbours' is a collection of 30 historical photos that tell the story of the neighbourhood around Osgoode Hall in downtown Toronto. Osgoode Hall is often the centre of attention in its neighbourhood. Everything about Osgoode Hall made it stand out: the scale of the building and the property in a district of single-family homes, its business and public purpose in a residential neighbourhood, its professional occupants in a working class area, its “waspishness” in what became the city’s main reception area for new immigrants, and its wealth in “The Ward,” once one of the city’s worst slums. Even today, surrounded by skyscrapers and pavement, Osgoode Hall affirms its distinctiveness. This photograph exhibition deliberately shifts the focus from Osgoode Hall to its neighbours. It looks at the evolution of the area from its beginnings as the home of tradesmen and their families, to that of target for social reformers, to the commercial and civic centre it has become.» Canadá

	Newfoundland and the Great War
