006. Bytown Memories: The Baynes of Bytown and/et Historique des premières églises catholiques de Bytown of Bytown and Les premieres Eglises Catholique

History of the Bayne Family who lived on Fuller Street and of their various homes. Written by Marion Plunkett.

Historique des premières messes et églises catholiques jusqu'a la construction de la basilique-cathédrale Notre-Dame. Écrit par Georgette Lamoureux.

In 1982 The Historical Society of Ottawa sponsored an essay contest, "Bytown Memories", in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Rideau Canal by Colonel John By. The two prize-winning essays in the senior category are published in this pamphlet. November 1982. This booklet which sold out in the original form has been reproduced as a centennial project of the Historical Society of Ottawa. The reprinted version appears to have been re-formated; the content appears to be the same but the individual pages differ. The front cover, inside back cover and back cover have slight cosmetic differences.
