from stcmuseum podcasts · host St. Catharines Museum and Welland Canals Centre
Obituaries can be incredibly valuable sources for understanding the nuances of society at a particular moment in time. We can find trends in causes of death and life expectancy, but we can also get a good sense of the values, beliefs, and shared circumstances of society from what families thought important enough to include in the obituary of a lost loved one. In this podcast episode, we explore St. Catharines obituaries from the 19th century and consider what we can learn from them.
