gardening and landscaping; urban/rural studies; municipalities; governments;
crime and punishment; and medicine. Where possible and convenient, key refer-
ence books in these areas are included at the most appropriate spot.
Readers will note that names of publishers have been included for the most
recent edition. In every case these are the Canadian imprint.
Some of the sources given below are monographs on set subjects. These
indicate the sort of scholarship being undertaken in such fields. They are repre-
sentative, too, of subareas of interest. They do not necessarily constitute either
the only work on the subject or the most recent, although here a necessary
preference has been given for the most recent. Multiauthored volumes are listed
by title. Reference works are listed by title, not by author.
Students and researchers will find much in the fields of Canadian history,
biography, and culture by consulting the catalogue of the Library and Archives
Canada (www.collectionscanada.gc.ca). Additional information can be fol-
lowed in the expansive online catalogues of the Library of Congress and the
British Library. Because of the passage of Canada “from colony to nation,”
researchers will find much in the way of guidance in inventoried lists of re-
cords of the National Archives in Kew, England, where Admiralty, Board
of Trade, Colonial, Dominion, and Foreign Office papers are filed. Thus if a
student wished, say, to consult the pre-confederation records of New Bruns-
wick, a record of related files is readily available. Parks Canada (www.pc.gc
.ca) maintains a list of historic places, and notably, those of the Historic Sites
and Monuments Board. (Brief histories of various places, such as forts, battles,
and commemorated events, are to be found there.) City and town archives and
libraries also have basic historical details that can serve as a guide. Cemetery
and family history societies are often linked to these repositories.
Each of the provinces and territories of Canada has archives, many incor-
porated in libraries, and most have serial publications or historical journals.
Sometimes there exist parallel publications, for different reading audiences.
The case for the Province of British Columbia is illustrative of the possibilities
for further reading and research. For instance, BC Studies, a scholarly publish-
ing leader, is issued by the University of British Columbia, while the more
general British Columbia History is published by the British Columbia His-
torical Federation. Publications naturally differ from place to place, and from
jurisdiction to jurisdiction; and this is an image of the varieties of Canadian
regionalism and plurality. Various ethnic groups have their own journals and,
in some cases, research libraries and archives. Various religions and denomina-
tions have historical journals. As for boundary matters, students can look for
printed copies of papers in various multivolume works on Canadian-American
relations, the American Revolution, and the War of 1812. These are gradually
becoming available on line.
