In 1965 Memorial University recruited the young historian Keith Matthews, hoping he would both conduct research on the West of England–Newfoundland fishery and collect archival material for the university. He fulfilled this dual mandate, and his work was an important part of an important historiographic shift. Matthews's break with a 175-year-old interpretation was marked by a highly original essay, 'Historical Fence Building,' which subsequent historians have read back into his 1968 thesis. This essay examines his training and the context at Memorial that shaped his career, arguing that because of the persuasiveness of Matthews's later historiographic critique the continuity between his thesis and earlier works is greater than is often recognized.En 1965, l'Université Memorial de Terre-Neuve a recruté le jeune historien Keith Matthews dans l'espoir qu'il effectue de la recherche sur la pêche à Terre-Neuve et l'Ouest de l'Angleterre (West of England – Newfoundland Fishery) et qu'il collige du matériel pour les archives de l'université. Il a bien rempli ce double mandat, et son travail a formé une grande partie d'un déplacement historiographique important. Rompant avec une tradition vieille de 175 ans, Keith Matthews a rédigé un essai hautement original, « Historical Fence Building », que les historiens subséquents ont lié directement à sa thèse de 1968. Le présent essai examine sa formation et le contexte à Memorial qui ont été à la base de sa carrière, et fait valoir que, en raison du pouvoir de persuasion de la critique historiographique ultérieure de l'oeuvre, la continuité entre la thèse et les travaux antérieurs de l'auteur est beaucoup plus marquée qu'on ne le reconnaît souvent.
