Scottish Gaelic was added to the popular language-learning app Duolingo in late 2019. If you signed up to learn this language and want to try reading in Gaelic, we can help with that! Check out Gearr-sgeoil air Sir Seoras Uilleam Ros, Alexander Fraser’s biography of Sir George William Ross, the fifth Premier of Ontario. The book also includes an account of Highland settlers in Upper Canada.
The author, Alexander Fraser (1860-1936), was the first Archivist of Ontario and in 1887 organized the Gaelic Society of Canada. The image above shows the Ontario Legislative Building in the 1890's, where the Bureau of Archives, as it was called then, was first located.
We make books in many languages available on Faded Page. If you’d like to help us expand our Gaelic collection, come join us and proofread a few pages. For more information, check out our companion site, Distributed Proofreaders Canada.
