On January 10th, 2023, Hannah Mantel of Western University’s Public History Program will bring to life the story of Doug Carr’s trip around the world on his bicycle from 1937 to 1939. Doug Carr was a resident of Ingersoll, Ontario. During his trip, he kept detailed travel diaries, took hundreds of photographs and collected travel brochures and souvenirs from the countries he visited. Mantel’s presentation will outline how Carr’s travel images from places like Cairo, Johannesburg, Tunisia, Jaipur, Japan and Vancouver can be mapped on a digital platform. Using the platform will allow attendees to follow the routes he took and locate the original places where some of his artifacts were collected. This talk will feature artifacts that are, today, housed at both Beachville District Museum and the Ingersoll Cheese & Agricultural Museum. Whether you recall hearing of Carr’s travels, or remember visiting his store in Oxford County, we encourage you to put January 10th in your calendar. The talk will begin at 7:00pm in Beachville District Museum’s Program Room. Refreshments will be served after the talk. There is no cost to attend. All are welcome.
