The Hamilton Connection

As the case studies included in this theme make clear, the City of Hamilton, Ontario, was an important centre of industrial production and a transportation hub during both World Wars. Since this website has been developed in that city, it seems only appropriate that we pay some attention to the past contributions of its citizens during wartime. The case studies incorporate materials from our two partner institiutions, the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum and Local History and Archives at Hamilton Public Library, as well as McMaster's own collections.
