CANADIAN PUBLISHERS' RECORDS DATABASE
The Canadian Publishers' Records Database contains detailed descriptions of
more than 1100 archival collections which relate to the history of secular
English-language book publishing in Canada, from the beginnings to 1980.
Included are records of publishers, authors, and related individuals and
associations, founded or active before 1980, that are housed in public
repositories or in publishers' offices. The culmination of five years of
research centred at Simon Fraser University, this project was directed by
Dr. Carole Gerson of the English Department and Ann Cowan of the Canadian
Centre for Studies in Publishing, and supervised by Laura Millar. We
gratefully acknowledge the support of the Social Sciences and Humanities
Research Council of Canada and of Simon Fraser University, as well as the
cooperation of the many individuals who responded to our enquiries and the
fine work done by our student researchers. We welcome comments,
corrections, queries, and updates, which should be sent to
CCSP-CPRD@sfu.ca.
