Canadian Historical Review

History

The Canadian Historical Review was founded at the University of Toronto in 1920 [5] as a continuation of a previous journal, the Review of Historical Publications Relating to Canada, itself founded by George Wrong, [6] in 1897. [2] [7] The initiative to digitize the CHR's holdings includes material from this previous journal, and papers from as early as 1897 are available to subscribers online as a result.

The Canadian Historical Review's entries have changed as history and historiography itself have progressed. Marlene Shore's The Contested Past: Reading Canada's History – Selections from the Canadian Historical Review, tracks these changes, tracing major themes of the CHR chronologically: "Nation and Diversity, 1920-1939; War, Centralization; and Reaction, 1940-1965; The Renewal of Diversity, 1966 to present; and Reflections." [4] The Contested Past also suggests that the key themes in Canadian history reflected by the CHR are "Native-European contact, society and war, the nature of Canadian and Quebec nationalism, class-consciousness, and gender politics." [4]

Editors

The CHR's editors are Matthew Hayday and Jeffrey McNairn. Hayday, a professor at the University of Guelph since 2007, focuses on Canadian political history, particularly issues related to language policy, education, social movements, nationalism and identity politics. McNairn teaches nineteenth-century Canadian history at Queen's University, with special interest in the history of print, liberalism, British imperialism and state-civil society relations. [8]

The Editorial Board comprises Harold Bérubé from Université de Sherbrooke, Jarvis Brownlie from the University of Manitoba, Kevin Brushett from the Royal Military College of Canada, Jordan Stanger-Ross from the University of Victoria and Shirley Tillotson from Dalhousie University. The Book Review Editor is Donald Wright from the University of New Brunswick. [8]

Canadian Historical Review Prize

Each year CHR awards a prize for best article of the year, known as the Canadian Historical Review Prize. The winner for 2017 was Jan Noel, who won for her article "A Man of Letters and Gender Troubles of 1837", which appeared in the September 2017 issue.

The Rebellions of 1837–1838, were two armed uprisings that took place in Lower and Upper Canada in 1837 and 1838. Both rebellions were motivated by frustrations with lack of political reform. A key shared goal was responsible government, which was eventually achieved in the incidents' aftermath. The rebellions led directly to Lord Durham's Report on the Affairs of British North America and to the Act of Union 1840 which partially reformed the British provinces into a unitary system and eventually led to the British North America Act, 1867, which created the contemporary Canadian federation and its government.
