Welcome to TAPoR @ UAlberta!


TAPoR is the Text Analysis Portal for Research, a collaboration by six Canadian universities to build a centralized gateway to representative texts and sophisticated text analysis tools. The computing infrastructure is available to host and support research projects using text, text encoding, text transformation, and XML technologies. For more information on the TAPoR in Canada initiative, please consult our TAPoR Canada page.

TAPoR @ UAlberta is a hub for text-based computing research in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta. Associated projects use TAPoR's significant computing resources, including a high performance server and a computer workshop. (See a diagram of our servers). The TAPoR workshop, located in Arts 434, houses eight high-end networked computers, a comprehensive selection of software, and relevant equipment. Our staff includes a Systems Administrator and Applications Developer, a Database Analyst, and talented Research Assistants.

The Research Director for TAPoR @ UAlberta is John Newman.

Title: Worth of Children and Women: Life Insurance in Early Twentieth Century Canada

Abstract: In the late nineteenth century life insurance came of age in Canada. Indeed one contemporary believed that he lived in an era that exhibited a "mania for life insurance". While historians know something about growth trends and the major companies involved in that business-although not nearly as much as we might wish-, we know next to nothing about the people who bought life insurance. This is especially true for women and children even though a special insurance called Industrial insurance emerged in this period largely to satisfy the demand for children and womens' insurance needs. Who insured children? Who were the women who took out insurance? This paper argues that cultural and economic differences underlay decisions to purchase industrial insurance in early twentieth century Canada and that these purchases contributed to and were markers of changing gendered behaviour in the public sphere.
