The Makers of Canada: Index and Dictionary of Canadian History

Designed as a companion to a massive twenty‑volume study of Canadian history, this reference work supplies an analytical index that threads together the entire series. It also gathers a wealth of extra material that could not fit into the narrative volumes, presenting it in an easy‑to‑use alphabetical format that functions much like a dictionary of the nation’s past.

Readers will find concise biographical sketches of the figures who shaped Canada, alongside brief overviews of pivotal wars, treaties, and political events. The book points scholars toward key manuscript collections in the Dominion Archives and highlights essential bibliographic sources, from the Royal Society of Canada to regional historical societies. Whether you’re tracing a specific name, exploring a treaty, or seeking primary documents, the guide offers a practical roadmap for deeper investigation.
