About the Book

Up to now, Canadians were represented only occasionally in various different Biographical Archives published by K.G. Saur a " predominantly in the American, British and French ones. Documenting Canada from a bio-historical point of view, the Canadian Biographical Archive (CaBA) focuses exclusively on Canadian individuals. Some 157,000 biographical entries on 150,000 individuals present a comprehensive survey of the worlda (TM)s second largest country, its past and present, its bilingualism and distinctly multicultural characteristics. The Canadian Biographical Archive is based on approximately 160 original reference works, published from 1848 to 1993. The biographical articles have been taken over unchanged and brought together in a single alphabetical sequence. These entries from a total of some 175 volumes are provided with detailed source references. Wherever several articles are included on a single individual, they are structured chronologically. Corresponding to the proportion of English and French speakers, the majority of sources is in English, about a quarter in French. Founded by historical antagonists, France and Great Britain, Canada has always been enriched by immigrants from various cultural, linguistic and religious backgrounds. People from all over the world have settled in Canada, thus shaping the countrya (TM)s multicultural character. Taking this into account, the Canadian government passed a special law on multiculturalism in the 1970s. Whereas up to the Second World War mainly Europeans a " including many Germans a " emigrated to Canada, the latter half of the 20th century witnessed an increasing number of Canadians with Asian and Caribbean roots. Reflecting this ethnic variety appropriately, the Archive encompasses Native Americans from the wooded south as well as the Inuit population from the arctic north and the full spectrum of immigrants from all around the globe. The Archive spans Canadian history from the earliest biographical evidence, the age of European settlement a " missionaries, chiefs or discoverers such as Cabot, Cartier and Champlain as well as some legendary trappers and skin-hunters a " to men and women from all fields of contemporary public life: politicians and artists, academics and athletes, entrepreneurs and representatives of trade unions, VIPs and ordinary citizens, too. The Archive is by no means limited to illustrious names only! Giving easy access to hitherto widely scattered material, the Canadian Biographical Archive will prove an invaluable tool for historical, genealogical and socio-political research into the North-American continent.
