Schools with blackboards |
 |
Checkboxes control the visibility of schools with blackboards by county. Clicking on one of the dated years turns off all of the others, and whichever layer within this folder is on, is the active layer (see explanation in Active Tools below). |
 |
Checkbox controls visibility of Modern Geography (current provincial and territorial boundaries, as well as selected cities), and is available for reference. |
|
Active Layer: Clicking on 1856 Counties, 1861 Counties or 1866 Counties will display the county data for that year. The active layer is always SCHOOLS with BLACKBOARDS which contains data for 1856, 1861 and 1866. |
 |
Identify: Click anywhere in a county to display the name of that county. |
 |
Table: Click or drag a rectangle to select any of the counties. A table pops up showing information by county for 1856, 1861 and 1866. See Table Fields below. |
| County | County name. |

| Unless otherwise indicated, data for all maps and graphs were taken from the annual reports of the various chief superintendents and ministers of education for the several British North American colonies to 1867, and for the provinces of Canada after that date. Where data were reported by municipal districts other than counties, these were amalgamated or incorporated into counties with the assistance of the Gazetteer of Canada. |
