Trésor d'archives : le livre de paye d'une chapellerie montréalaise au début du XIXe siècle
Bibliographic record
Abstract
From 1570 toi 830, fur trading between America and Europe was based mainly on the making of hats. This article describes the pre-industrial method of producing felt hats, such as beaver hats, which was based mainly on L'art de faire des chapeaux, by Abbe Jean-Antoine Nollet (1765). The heart of the article deals with a 250-page account book in the collection at the McCord Museum of Canadian History in Montreal. Entitled Journeymen's Book, this document, which belonged to Abner Bagg, maker and importer of Montreal hats, contains weekly statements from 1812 to 1819. It reveals various production aspects of the hat industry of the day: the manufacturing equipment and tools, raw material, workforce, division of labour and wages. By itself or in conjunction with other documents, Journeymen's Book is an extremely valuable source of information on the life of Montreal's hatmakers at the start of the nineteenth century. Resume L'article rappelle d'abord que, de 1570 a 1830, le commerce des fourrures entre l'Amerique et l'Europe reposait sur la chapellerie pour l'essentiel de ses debouches et expose la methode de production preindustrielle des chapeaux de feutre, dont les chapeaux de castor, en se fondant principalement sur L'art de faire des chapeaux de l'abbe Jean-Antoine Nollet (1765). Le cœur de l'article porte sur un livre de comptes de 250 pages conserve au Musee McCord d'histoire canadienne, a Montreal. Intitule Journeymen's Book, ce document ayant appartenu au fabricant et importateur de chapeaux montrealais Abner Bagg renferme des releves hebdomadaires dates de 1812 a 1819. Son analyse eclaire differents aspects de l'organisation de la production dans l'industrie chapeliere de l'epoque : l'equipement et l'outillage de la manufacture, la matiere premiere, la main-d'œuvre, la division du travail et les salaires. En lui-meme ou associe a d'autres documents, 7e Journeymen's Book se revele ici une source extremement precieuse de renseignements sur la vie des chapeliers de Montreal au debut du XIXe siecle.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
