Welcome to the first annual Unwritten Histories year-end review and our last blog post of 2017! It seems appropriate, given my weekly roundups, that I end the year with a year-long version. I divided this blog post into two parts. First I’ve gathered together a cross-section of important historical events from the world of Canadian history. I tried to select events that were represented and had a nation-wide relevance. Second, I listed some of my favourite reads from the past year.
Artist unknown, “Send War Savings Christmas Cards – They Are Free,”(1942-1943?) Library and Archives Canada, Acc. No. 1983-30-555.
