The post Virtual Museum of New France first appeared on History Lab.

]]> This website provides a virtual tour of the Canadian Museum of History’s collection on New France. The various themes attempt to cover the territory on which New France is based, a land occupied by French settlers since 1534, when Jacques Cartier began the first of his three explorations in such an unusual and wild land. The tour shows some of the most important historical milestones of the French colonial experience. The layout of the contents is established by a series of specific headings showing objects, original texts, as well as other elements typical of the period.

]]> This website brings us closer to the historical past of the Lecrín Valley. In this regard, it is worth highlighting the important work carried out by the Grupo Catastro-Lecrín, which was created in 2009 and belongs to the Centro de Estudios Históricos del Valle de Lecrín y la Alpujarra (CEHVAL), which deals with history through the Valle de Lecrín and La Alpujarra of Granada and which highlights the great value that can be gained from the exploitation of such a valuable source of documentation as the Cadastre of the Marqués de la Ensenada. The attempted fiscal reform of the Ensenada Cadastre in Andalusia was carried out during the first four years after its inception in 1750. The operations carried out in the Intendencia de Granada were under the direction of Luis González Torres Navarra, Marquis of Campoverde. Initially, the purpose of this operation was to improve in some way the system of administration of the territory. Ensenada’s documentation has allowed us to discover aspects of society, as well as the complexity of a predominantly rural geographical space.

]]> This online resource consists of a database that provides both researchers and other users with data recorded in the Cadastre of the Marquis of La Ensenada on the Lecrin Valley. It highlights the great value that can be derived from the exploitation of such a valuable source of documentation as the Cadastre of the Marquis of La Ensenada. The attempted fiscal reform of the Ensenada Cadastre in Andalusia was carried out during the first four years after its inception in 1750. The operations carried out in the Intendencia de Granada were under the direction of Luis González Torres Navarra, Marquis of Campoverde. Initially, the aim of this operation was to improve in some way the system of administration of the territory. In short, it is a work promoted by the GENARQ research project (History of Architecture from a Gender Perspective) developed within the Families, Inequality and Generational Change, 1700-1900 Project. Among its sections we can carry out searches related to homeowners through a glossary specialised by surnames and sex, as well as by houses and references to other buildings.

The post The 18th century in Aragon first appeared on History Lab.

]]> The Gran Enciclopedia Aragonesa (GEA) was first published in 1981, directed by Eloy Fernández Clemente. At the end of 2002, the digitalisation of its contents began and in 2003 the first version of the GEA Online was launched, with the collaboration of the Departments of Education and Science and Technology of the Government of Aragon. We access here to the History section of the Gran Enciclopedia Aragonesa (GEA) online, to focus on the political, social, economic and cultural characteristics of the 18th century in Aragon. The topics are organised into blocks, some of them being: the Bourbons and the War of Succession, the promulgation of the Nueva Planta Treaties, the emergence of the Aragonese party around the figure of the Count of Aranda, the Aragonese Enlightenment, Baroque art, the struggle between the bourgeoisie and the nobility or the life of the most disadvantaged. In addition, the encyclopaedia contains some didactic sections such as revision tests, timelines, etc.

The post Didactics 2.0 Museums in women’s terms first appeared on History Lab.

]]> Didactica 2.0 Museos en Femenino is the result of joint work between a team from the Instituto de Investigaciones Feministas of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, the Asociación e-Mujeres and the teams from the museums participating in the project: Museo del Prado, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Museo Arqueológico Nacional, Museo del Traje and Museo Nacional de Cerámica González Martí. The project focuses on women in art and aims to develop joint actions in the field of museums to disseminate and facilitate knowledge of the cultural heritage held in them and promote their integration. On the website, each of the participating museums offers detailed and precise itineraries, as well as access to the corresponding teaching guides. These guides are extremely useful for both students and teachers. It is therefore a very useful tool for dissemination and teaching to guide the analysis of art and history from a gender perspective. For the period of the Modern Age, the proposals that best fit its chronology are those of the Museo del Prado and, in part, those of the Museo Nacional de Cerámica González Martí and the Museo del Traje.

]]> Ana María Delgado, a resident of the parish of San Isidoro de Toledo, declared that she worked as a washerwoman, earning 2 reales a day to support herself. She also said that she was a single woman and that “I have no one to earn them for me”. This allusion refers to the absence of her husband, 24 years without him, without knowing his whereabouts or whether he is still alive or dead. Ana María also states that she has to subsist by her own means and that she has a house of her own in which she lives, the rent of which is worth 12 ducats (a method of valuation to refer to the value of the property). This is an example of a single woman seeking her future by working and having a comfortable personal situation.

He considers that this work, as he does not receive remuneration, does not count as real employment. In the same way, he states that both he and his wife subsist thanks to the wages earned by their son, Tomás Cortés, at the Royal Sword Factory. Why is Nicaso not paid as a servant? Although it is true that his work consisted of keeping company, the objective he could have pursued was to obtain a benefit of material goods after the death of the owner, who for reasons of affection could leave them some belongings as an inheritance.

The family’s delicate situation meant that the wife worked in different houses washing clothes, although her wages were very low, while the husband tried to earn a living as a servant in a shop.
