Two or three years ago (circa 1997) I agreed to contribute a history of the Department
of Physics and Astronomy to the Canadian Association of Physicists for publication
in Physics in Canada, as one of what they eventually hope will be a complete
series of histories of all the physics departments in Canada. Recently I completed that task and submitted a manuscript
which is also available as a web page. In the course of working on that history I have uncovered a considerable
number of old photographs, with pictures of former faculty and students,
many of whom are not known to me. Please take a look at my Gallery
of Old Photographs, and if you have any additions or corrections to
the information I give there please pass them on to me. I have collected much more information than I have been able to put into
the CAP history, and have in mind to eventually prepare a more detailed
history for the Department. If, after reading what I have here, you are
reminded of some facts or stories about the department, I would very much
appreciate hearing about them. Also, if you know someone who might be able
to add to the history of the department, please let them know about these
web pages, and/or let me know how to contact them. D. R. Moorcroft Introduction
