Many of these observatories were part of Jesuit missions, including the missions in China, the Philippines, and Ethiopia. Jesuits were often among the first to establish earthquake-related communication networks and alert systems for local communities. Other observatories founded in North America facilitated the study of earthquakes and microearthquakes at a distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The Jesuits of Canada, alongside their international peers, participated in the evolution of these sciences. This exhibit offers insight into three observatories founded and operated by Jesuits of the Province of Canada: the Observatoire sismologique du <u><a href=\"https:\/\/catalogue.archivesjesuites.ca\/fonds-du-college-de-saint-boniface\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Coll\u00e8ge de Saint-Boniface<\/a><\/u> (Manitoba), the Observatoire de g\u00e9ophysique du <u><a href=\"https:\/\/catalogue.archivesjesuites.ca\/college-jean-de-brebeuf-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Coll\u00e8ge Jean-de-Br\u00e9beuf <\/a><\/u>in Montreal, and the Addis Ababa Geophysical Observatory (Ethiopia).

The publications, textual documents, and photographs included in these fonds reveal the Jesuits\u2019 impact on the field of geophysics and their devotion to the teaching of such sciences in Canadian Jesuit colleges.
