Letter to George Calvert from Edward Wynne, dated August 17, 1622.

Much of our knowledge of daily life in outport Newfoundland in the late 18th and early 19th century comes from the pens of visitors. They were typically missionaries, explorers, naturalists, and geologists whose work brought them to outlying communities not often visited by outsiders or even the local government.

The Second World War triggered a series of rapid and far-reaching social changes in Newfoundland and Labrador.
