Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Audio recording and transcript of Anne Royle's April 2002 presentation to the Nanaimo Historical Society about aspects of the early colonial history of coastal British Columbia. In her talk, Royle speaks about how both the Royal Navy and the Hudson's Bay Company were influential on the coast, and she gives details about several important ships. She discusses the coastal rum-running and fur trades, and she also talks about interactions with the Indigenous Peoples of the area. She speaks about the Susan Sturgis affair, and about Fort Simpson during Captain William McNeill's time there. Royle mentions some instances of support for the early annexation of B.C. to the United States, and she concludes her presentation by giving an outline of the Fraser River Gold Rush of 1858, which led to the subsequent founding of the Colony of British Columbia.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

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.
