Canadian Encyclopedia
The
Canadian Encyclopedia is a print and electronic
encyclopedia about the nation of
Canada: its geography, history, and people. Canada had been without an encyclopedia since the
1957 Encyclopedia Canadiana. In response to this Mel Hurtig, a staunch Canadian nationalist, launched a project to create a wholly new Canadian Encyclopedia and recruited over 3000 authors to write for it. The first edition of the Canadian Encyclopedia was published in three volumes in
1985 a revised and expanded edition was released in
1988. The company later published the Junior Canadian Encyclopedia. Currently Canadian Heritage, a government department, is paying to have the encyclopedia available free online to all Canadians.
