Special Issue: Canada’s History Journals

Editorial

This issue of SRC is devoted to descriptions of some of Canada’s most outstanding history journals and other journals oriented to an historical time period. It is by no means a complete record of all such journals. However, this special issue of Scholarly Research and Communicationdoes provide a beginning in opening for view the backgrounds and orientations of at least some of the journals that serve Canadian researchers.

The inspiration for this volume came from an awareness that, while the primary role of journals is to create a record of knowledge and thereby to put current researchers in touch with their colleagues, past and present, the nature and orientations of journals themselves has, for the most part, gone unrecorded. By bringing these articles forward, the aim is at two goals: 1) to begin to create a public record of Canada’s scholarly journals, and 2) to create a resource, which researchers might use in placing their research.
