I searched the Memorial Univcrsity Folklore and Languagc Archive (MUNFLA) for student collections which deal with the Labrador fishery from the point ofvicw of "noaten" and "stationers", Respectively. noaters and stationers were fishermen from Newfoundland who prosecuted the fishery either by schooners or from rooms (fishing premises) on the Labrador. To supplement the interviews done in Labrador, I also searched the Them Days Archives and its publication. 71Iem Days MagtCine. a regional oral history magazine. for the point ofview of Labradorians on the ey,foundland fishermen. The archival research revealed five areas ofdescriptions oftrips to the Labrador: (I) '"going in collar'" (preparing for the trip), (2) '"on 'he passage'" (the lrip down), (3) work on the Labrador. (4) sociability on the Labrador, and (5) the return to Newfoundland. The narratives presented in the final section ofthis thesis concern the cffect of the annual summer migration on the home community in Ncwfoundland. iii
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS During my studies I was assisted financially by a bursary from the School of Graduate ludics. a fellowship from the Institute ofSocial and Economic Research. and a scholarship from the Women's Association afMemorial Uni\'crsiIY of cwfoundland.

Dr. Wilfred Wareham supported and nurtured this project in its infant stage. Dr. Larry Small provided the original idea and the incentive to stay with it Dr. Martin Lovelace gave up his vacation time to encoumge me 10 keep writing. Dr. Diane Tyc took up the battlc cry and helped me tie it alllogcther.
