The Sixties
For those who did not live through the experience of the Sixties, it is often difficult to comprehend this tumultuous period. Even those who lived though the era and have studied the Sixties have wrestled with its deeper meaning. While the Sixties ultimate "meaning" remains elusive, there can be no doubt that the period's transformative effect upon Canadians - culturally, politically, and economically - was immense. From arts and architecture to politics and protest, the decade has attained near-mythical status, leaving an undeniable influence on virtually every aspect of Canadian life. The images, sounds, and tastes of the decade remain an indelible part of our own twenty-first-century expe...
Heroines and History
"This is a fascinating comparison of the histories of Ontario and Quebec as seen through the handling of their best-known heroines. Most Canadians are familiar with stories of Madeleine de Vercheres defending Montreal against the Iroquois in 1692 and of Laura Secord and her cow bravely crossing the American lines to warn the British during the War of 1812.
French Quebec
Within Anglophone North America, the story of French Quebec is one of linguistic and cultural survival. This catalogue of books published in Quebec in French charts the evolution of the province's literary, social, artistic and political culture from 1764-1990. It includes all works published in Quebec, wholly or mainly in French, collected by the British Museum and Library from the 1830s to the present. Titles are listed under broadly-based subject sequences: Volume 1 covers French Quebec's creative and artistic output, as well as its conception of itself, as reflected in its philosophical and psychological works and encounters with other cultures. This second volume includes publications relating to Quebec's social and political institutions, history, social order and geophysical features. An introduction, in English and French, surveys the province's published output, and the history of its acquisition by the British Museum and Library.

Le combat du patrimoine
Visiteurs et résidants s'accordent aujourd'hui pour affirmer que Montréal est une ville où il fait bon vivre et que cela tient, entre autres, à son «caractère patrimonial». Si plusieurs se souviennent, tous ne savent cependant pas qu'il a fallu plus de trente ans de luttes urbaines pour fonder cette image par laquelle la métropole est aujourd'hui.
Profession historienne?

La passion du patrimoine
Au-delà de la mémoire d'une institution, celle de la Commission des biens culturels du Québec depuis 1922. Il rappelle également les étages législatives qui ont à la fois marqué et reflété cette évolution. Ce livre s'adresse donc à tous ceux qui ont vu le patrimoine, considéré comme monument historique, devenir peu à peu un bien culturel, ressource et actif à développer. Il intéressera également tous ceux qui se sont approprié l'héritage reçu des générations précédentes et qui ont à coeur de faire avancer le patrimoine. On y trouve une analyse des faits marquant l'histoire de la Commission, une bibliographie exhaustive de sources et d'études, la liste des présidents, vice-présidents, secrétaires et commissaires, et près de cent cartes, tableaux et illustrations.
Secondary Sources in the History of Canadian Medicine
Volume Two of this retrospective bibliography is both a continuation and an expansion of Volume One (1984). It contains references to Canadian medical-historical literature published between 1984 and 1998, and also includes much additional material published prior to 1984. Finally, it substantially enlarges the content of French-language material. Every effort has been made to be as inclusive as possible of articles, theses, book chapters and books, both in English and in French, relating to the history of medicine. No single electronic source can replace this bibliography. The contents are divided into three sections. The first is a listing of material expressly biographical. Section two lists material under a wide variety of subject headings related to medicine, and the third is a complete listing of the authors who have contributed these articles. Simply organized and easy to use, this bibliography will be of value to historians, archivists, librarians, and anyone interested in the history of medicine.
