Dear all, I'm at a bit of an impasse in my research and I wonder if any of you might have tips or advice for me. What I'm trying to do is see whether I can restructure my book project so that it looks at the life of, say, one to three undersea cables and then looks at different networks that were built on top of these cables. Right now my focus is on Canada, just because that's where I've made the most progress in my research, and I've narrowed my search down to three cables: CANTAT-1, CANTAT-2, and TAT-6. My question for all of you is whether you have any tips about how I can find out other networks that existed on these lines? Is it a matter of delving into who owned the lines and then taking trips to their corporate archives? Or is there a more direct, less expensive solution? I gather Bell Canada has historical archives in Montreal, or at least they did several years ago, but I'm surprised to find there is no website or obvious contact information for Bell's archivist... My sincere thanks!
