Period
Presumably used 2010 to 2013.
Canada
Item from comprehensive collection of tools and technologies used by a Canadian prospector, who worked in the exploration division of Newmont Mining Corporation in Haiti between 2010 and 2013. This collection reflects three aspects of the modern Canadian mining, crucial to the understanding of this sector: mobility of the workforce, ethnicity in the workforce, and globalization. The mining workforce has been highly mobile on both community and individual levels. Entire towns formed around mining operations and died or changed their character when the resources were exhausted. Mining professionals, especially in the field of mineral exploration, work in various often remote locations around the globe, and cover long distances in their daily work. The items donated to the Museum well represent the type of tools and technologies necessary to working outdoors, in remote locations, and a tropical climate. Ethnicity continues to play a role in the sector’s hiring practices. In this particular case, an employer looked for a recent graduate, bilingual prospector, educated in Canada, who could also communicate in Haitian-Creole. A set of hiring criteria in mining is often very specific and difficult to meet by Canadian graduates, but essential to succeeding in exploration projects conducted abroad. Donated artifacts reflect Haitian-Creole cultural context of Newmont operations. [Ref. 1]
Function

Technical
This sewing kit, made in China, was purchased in Haiti to mend clothes while in the camp. The box is very light, but relatively sturdy and weather tight, to keep threads dry in the rainy season. [Ref. 1] 4 pairs of round snaps present.
