About the Menu at the Top of each Page
The MENU at the top of this website explained:
The HOME PAGE is an introduction to the website and tells you generally what you can expect to find here. It also gives you a taste of other things I have had published.
The HISTORY PAGE has a drop-down menu of items I have written about:
1. The history of the Wabana Mines in particular. Because I have collected a lot of information about the Wabana Mines, I have placed the link to those articles at the top of the History Page. When you hover your cursor over "Mining History," you will get a drop-down menu of an array of topics related to the Wabana Mines, some with off-shoots containing more sub-topics.
2. The history of Bell Island in general. This general history list is by no means complete; I am adding to it on a continual basis.
The PUBLICATIONS PAGE is my attempt to make available articles that have been written down through the years about aspects of Bell Island's history. Some are magazine, journal or newspaper articles. Others are excerpts from books. In the drop-down menu on this page, you will find scans of the complete run of the Dominion Wabana Ore Limited magazine Submarine Miner and excerpts from DOSCO World.
The PEOPLE PAGE has a drop-down alphabetical menu containing brief biographies of people who have lived and worked on Bell Island, or who have had some notable connection to Bell Island's history. It is far from complete, of course, but is being added to on a continual basis. People are listed alphabetically by surname. (NOTE: you will find some World War II veterans under "HISTORY." Again, this is being added to as information is found.)
The EXTRAS PAGE has a drop-down menu containing entertaining stories, poems and odd bits about the life and culture of Bell Island. An off-shoot menu from "Calendar Customs" delves into how Bell Islanders celebrated on special days throughout the year.
The PHOTO GALLERY PAGE contains collections of photographs from various sources, many never before seen outside of individual family albums or archives.
