Clarence Street
Between King Street and Dundas Street.
"Religious spaces - like libraries, art galleries, sport arenas and graveyards - are more than locations or buildings. They represent a particular lived experience."

Project: Historical Website
This website has been produced to fulfill the requirements of the finial project of creating a historical website for Digital History 9808a through the Public History Program at The University of Western Ontario (or Western University), in London, Ontario, Canada. The website is aimed at people who are interested in the history of downtown London, Ontario, more specifically the changes in the types of businesses that have been located on Clarence St. since the 1880s. The information presented on the website is meant to show the changes of downtown London on a basic overview level. This website has been created though the use of a combination of books, City of London Directories, other websites and some archival materials.
About me, the creator
My name is Emily Woodcock and I am currently a student in the Master's of Library and Information Science (MLIS) Program at Western University taking a course through the Public History Department. I am from Nova Scotia and I wish to go back to the Maritimes after graduation. I work part-time at a small library and I will graduate with my MLIS degree in June 2015.
You can read about my experience of taking the course, Digital History (includes making this website) and some of the content we discussed in the class through the blog below.
