I am grateful for the support of many colleagues and friends. Pat, you guided my academic path since my undergraduate studies until today; my PhD and the topic that I chose were thanks to your suggestions and insight. Tim, you have always been willing to walk with me through the challenges of academic life; besides this you have a brilliant mind, always encouraging me to draw together ideas that are seemingly unrelated.
A sincere thank you also goes to Barbara Todd and Frances Timbers for reading and rereading my chapters and each time asking insightful questions that led my work into new and better directions.
Your honesty and commitment to research and writing were an inspiration to me throughout this process. To Len van der Meer and Wendy Pascoe with whom I shared many long conversations about collecting and objects. Len, you have a breadth of knowledge any academic would envy. Wendy, your wide-ranging interests and never-failing enthusiasm are my motivation. Your humor, support, intellect, and savvy were much appreciated. Also thanks to Todd Webb, my friend and colleague from Laurentian Georgian.
Your ongoing help is much appreciated. Your laughter, good food, and generosity touch my heart. Thanks must also go to my thesis committee at the Department of History of the University of Toronto.
