It has long been the custom of Navies to name ships for people, places and objects. During the Second World War, the Canadian Navy undertook just such a plan. This resulted in the naming of the H.M.C.S. Sudbury and the H.M.C.S. Copper Cliff. Find out how each community purchased and supplied each ship with the “comforts of home”
August 11: A Soldier of the Great War
Come along as we journey through life with Jack Black. Born in Montreal his family moved to Sudbury in the early years of the 20th century.

We currently offer the following items through our website: Riches Beyond Our Rocks DVD In conjunction with the 125th anniversary of the rail-
way reaching the area, the City of Greater Sudbury installment of the Ontario Visual Heritage Project, entitled Riches Beyond
Our Rocks; Stories from Greater Sudbury, is now available for purchase in High-Definition DVD!
Neighbourly Advice Booklets Neighborly Advice was published in 1922 by the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Company of Lynn Massachusetts. In order to promote the company's product, the Lydia E. Pinkham com-pany printed a series of booklets including testimonies from women around the
world. The testimonies from the women who used the Lydia E. Pinkham medi-
cines were a large part of all the Pinkham publications. They provide us with hints about the lives of women in the first part of the Twentieth Century. The terms and language in the text show us just how much our lives have changed in the ensuing ninety years. For your convenience, a lexicon of explanations and definitions is in-cluded at the back of the publication.
INCO Triangle Archives In response to overwhelming public interest and the recognition of the value of the INCO Triangle to the
local community, the Greater Sudbury Public Library, along with Greater Sudbury Heritage Museums partnered with Vale, Cambrian College and the City of Greater Sud-bury to scan all of the estimated 600 issues of the INCO Triangle and make them accessible to the public online.
All proceeds from Shop the Museum Online itmes fund museum acquisitions, publications and help support the many fine public programs of the Museum (unless otherwise stated). Visit us online or in person at the Anderson Farm Museum and any branch of the Greater Sudbury Public Library.
