The Makers of Canada: Index and Dictionary of Canadian History

A comprehensive guide to Canada’s past, this volume serves as both an analytical index to a twenty‑volume series and a compact dictionary of the nation’s history. It brings together concise biographies of notable figures, summaries of wars, treaties, and pivotal events, and points readers toward the most essential primary sources housed in the Dominion Archives. By organizing entries alphabetically, it lets listeners quickly locate information on anything from early explorers to the formation of provinces.

Designed for students, researchers, and curious listeners, the book also highlights key reference works such as the Royal Society of Canada’s proceedings and major geological surveys. While it doesn’t attempt exhaustive bibliographies, it curates the most vital publications and periodicals that illuminate Canada’s development. This makes it an invaluable companion for anyone eager to deepen their understanding of the country’s rich historical tapestry.
