              00-002 · Fonds · 1989-1995

              This collection consists of records relating to the pertaining to the Oak Ridges Moraine. including the minutes for the meetings of the Technical Working Committee, from August 13, 1991 to October 13, 1994, various correspondence from environmental organizations, companies, firms, and various levels of government, and various other materials (i.e., published and unpublished studies).

              The Oak Ridges Moraine is a massive ridge in southern Ontario, extending from the Niagara Escarpment to the Trent River. This landscape feature (an interlobate moraine) is a product of sedimentary deposition, of mainly sand and gravel (glacial till), during the glacial retreat and melting of the Wisconsin ice-sheet, approximately 12,000 years ago.

              In regard to ecology, it is a significant water storage and headwater feature for southern Ontario. It is molted with various kettle lakes and serves as a "drainage divide" for central Ontario where rivers and streams emanate either north or south from the moraine.

              Due to the incursion of urban sprawl and development, as a result of population growth, the integrity of this significant feature has been compromised. Ecological consequences include depletion of water supply, in topsoils, forests and wetland areas, ant the introduction of toxic pollutants. As a result, there has been various efforts towards protecting the moraine.

              One endeavour, known as the Oak Ridges Moraine Technical Working Committee, has attempted to coordinate efforts, in scientific background studies of the moraine and the devising of appropriate policies to protect the moraine, through public, private, and governmental consultation and participation.

              This collection of family papers, correspondence, journals, photographs, newspaper clippings and published works spans the years 1834 to 1966 and measures approximately 3 1/2 linear metres. The papers were deposited in Trent University Archives through the courtesy of members of the Geale and Rogers families in 1983.

              The papers are divided into two series:

              Series A, the Geale family papers, consists of records pertaining to the descendants of the Hon. Robert Hamilton, a factor of the Hudson's Bay Company stationed at Fort Edmonton in northern Manitoba. Robert Hamilton married Annie Seabourne. One of their sons was Robert Miles Hamilton (1864-1939). He married Alice May Barker and resided at "Auburn" in Peterborough, Ontario. Their children were Miles Beresford Hamilton, Robert Barker Hamilton, (Alice) Seabourne Hamilton, and S.R. Hamilton (son). Alice Seabourne Hamilton married Charles Norman Geale. Papers of the Barker family (the Hon. Samuel Barker was Mrs. Robert Miles Hamilton's father) are included in this series as are the papers of the Peck family. Edward Armour Peck was the natural son of Arthur Henry Peck and the adoptive father of Charles Norman Geale. He married Kitty Revell. Both Miles Beresford Hamilton and Robert Barker Hamilton served overseas in the First World War and their correspondence is included in this series.

              Series B of this collection consists of the Rogers Papers. Richard Birdsall Rogers was born at Ashburnham in 1857. He lived there until 1916 and then moved to "Beechwood Farm" in Douro Township. He was a land surveyor and was appointed superintendent engineer of the Trent Valley Canal in 1884. Richard married Clara Mina Calcutt of Peterborough in 1881. They had seven children. One daughter, Leah, married Herbert Geale, brother of Charles Norman Geale. Two sons, Heber and Harry served overseas in World War I. Their correspondence is included. R.B. Rogers designed and supervised the building of the hydraulic lift locks at Peterborough and Kirkfield. These papers included several files of plans and specifications for the locks, correspondence and documents accrued during the scandal preceding Rogers' resignation in 1906, the Holgate Report which condemned Rogers and the Keefer investigation which completely vindicated his work as Chief Engineer. We have created a major on-line exhibit focusing on the life and times of Richard Rogers and the Peterborough Lift Lock: http://digitalcollections.trentu.ca/exhibits/birdsall-rogers/zrptboll.htm
