Among the western nations that have played a substantive role in the making of twentieth-century history, Canada enjoys the questionable distinction of being perhaps the least known. Yet there are good reasons for everyone - Canadians included - to know more about Canada's history. Good reasons that are apparent to regular readers of the Canadian Historical Review. The CHR offers an analysis of the ideas, people, and events that have molded Canadian society and its institutions into their present state. Canada's past is examined from a vast and multicultural perspective to provide a thorough assessment of all influences. As a source for authoritative scholarship, giving the sort of in-depth background necessary for understanding the course of daily events - both for Canadians themselves and for others with an interest in the nation's affairs - the CHR is without rival. The Canadian Historical Review provides comprehensive reviews of books to interest all levels of Canadian historians. Each issue also offers an extensive bibliography of recently published historical writings (including CD and video media) in all areas of Canadian history, conveniently arranged by subject.

Published quarterly
in March, June, September, and December .

Introducing a new series coming soon to Canadian Historical Review


University of Toronto Press, Journals and the editorial board of Canadian Historical Review are pleased to announce a new series coming in December 2011 to the Canadian Historical Review. A Life in History/ La vie d’historien In the new series, ‘A Life in History’, prominent members of the historical profession in Canada who have recently retired have been invited to reflect upon their very distinguished careers. Among other things, they have been asked to look back and consider what led them to become historians. They will also discuss the changes and continuities they have witnessed over the years in their respective fields and offer readers their assessment of the present ‘state of things.’ This new series will be a regular feature of CHR and will interest a wide group of readers and lead to a creative and stimulating dialogue about the practice of Canadian history, both within and outside of the academy.

The first articles in this informative new series —
“Is History Another Word For Experience? Morton’s Confessions” by Desmond Morton and “It was all about me: Making History Relevant” by Margaret Conrad — will be published in CHR 92.4 December 2011.

Yesterday I took the train from Toronto to Ottawa and read the Dec 2010 issue of the CHR from cover to cover. I had to write and tell you how fantastic it was. The combination of the very focused first three pieces with the wide scope of the two review essays was perfect, but each article on its own I found very well written, engaging, insightful, and thought-provoking. And the book reviews were the icing on the cake. The only way the issue could have been more appealing is if some of the writing had been in French, but of course you have no control over that. It is a pleasure to have such incontrovertible evidence that Canadian history is thriving. Keep up the good work. - Philip Girard, CHR Subscriber

The Contested Past: Reading Canada's History - Selections from the Canadian Historical Review
Edited by Marlene Shore
University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division
          
This collection of selected excerpts focuses on The Canadian Historical Review's contribution to the study of Canadian history from the journal's founding in 1920 to the present. Using the CHR's own interconnected objectives as a benchmark - the promotion of high standards of historical research and writing in Canada, and the fostering of the study of Canadian history - Marlene Shore analyses the varying degrees of success the journals had in meeting its those goals. Her introductory essay shows how the CHR was shaped not only by its own editorial policies, but by international currents affecting the discipline of history and its practitioners.

The Canadian Historical Review is the oldest, and most prestigious,  peer reviewed history journal in Canada. The first issue of the CHR was published in 1920 but it had originated from an earlier publication Review of Historical Publications Relating to Canada, which launched in 1897. Along with book and online resource reviews, the CHR publishes a variety of articles relating to Canadian history on a quarterly basis. Throughout the years, the CHR has published every historian of note in Canada.

Anyone with an interest in Canadian history will appreciate the quality and breadth of this collection. Thousands of articles, reviews, and commentaries await you at CHR Online and The Review of Historical Publications Relating to Canada Online.The entire online archive is available for $6,500. Libraries retain perpetual access to the archive of this journal once purchased. If the library maintains a current subscription, there is no further fee.
