We are very excited to announce the latest installation of the \u2018Armoury Street Dig\u2019 series of exhibits at Toronto City Hall. Commemorating and interpreting the histories of St John’s Ward, one of Toronto\u2019s first points of settlement for many newcomers throughout the 19th<\/sup> and 20th\u00a0<\/sup>centuries, the exhibit “Immigration and Daily Life in the Ward: Addresses and Artifacts” opens Wednesday December, 19th<\/sup> 2018 and will be on public view in the main floor rotunda until mid-2019.<\/p>\n

This continuing exhibit focuses on immigration and daily life in the Ward neighbourhood explored through unearthed artifacts from the Armoury Street dig site, city directories, fire insurance plans, tax assessment rolls, and census records to provide a view of The Ward between 1840\u20131970. The research in this new installation seeks to understand the movement of people into The Ward, paired with objects reflecting the relationships that individuals form with their places of origin. In the words of Holly Martelle, principal archaeologist at TMHC,<\/p>\n

\u201cThe presence, abundance, and patterning in artifacts over space and time often hint at various aspects of the identity and culture of a site\u2019s occupants. By itself, archaeology paints a picture of the past, albeit a slightly blurry one. Historic and archival records help bring that picture into sharper focus by adding the details that archaeologists may never be able to visualize in their data.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These exhibits follow from the excavation and archaeological dig in 2015 of the new Toronto courthouse site led by Infrastructure Ontario (IO), on behalf of the Ministry of the Attorney General. As part of the heritage interpretation efforts for the site, IO and the City of Toronto developed a partnership to create opportunities to share the artifacts and their stories in four display cases at City Hall. ERA has been pleased to offer expertise in this unique documentation of Toronto\u2019s history, providing contextual research and interpretation for emergent themes, as well as designing the exhibit spaces in collaboration with City of Toronto Museums and Heritage Services.<\/p>\n

The exhibit is on view during regular public hours in City Hall\u2019s main floor rotunda, located adjacent to both the east and west elevator bays, and will be on display through to Spring 2019.<\/p>\n
