Publications, and especially those that break new ground, require the efforts of many people. This publication was achieved through the unstinting support and substantial efforts of many people.

I am especially grateful to our Curatorial Assistant, Stephanie Rebick, hired through the Young Canada Works Program of the Canadian Heritage Information Network. Her tireless research, scanning and compilation of images and information made this publication possible. Eric Deis designed the user interface and programmed the website with great skill and speed, it has been a pleasure to work with him once again.

Staff throughout the building allowed us to pillage their records and documents and interrupt their work plans to provide us with material for this publication. I take this opportunity to thank; Jacqueline Gijssen, Susan Sirovyak, Jenny Wilson, Kim Svendsen, Bita Vorell, Monica Smith, Trevor Mills, Tomas Svab, Danielle Currie of the Museum Services Department; Cheryl Seigel and Lynn Brockington of the Library and Archives; Ian Thom, Grant Arnold, Louisa Russell, Emmy Lee and Bruce Wiedrick of the Curatorial Department; Tom Meighan and Layne Kirkpatrick who sustain our network; and Dana Sullivant and Sue Lavitt of the Marketing Department. Finally, I am especially grateful to Kathleen Bartels and Daina Augaitis, whose consistent support for this project made the publication possible.

The special support of the Young Canada Works through the Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN), Department of Canadian Heritage, is gratefully acknowledged.
