Welcome back to our monthly series, “Upcoming Publications in Canadian History,” where I’ve compiled information on all the new and upcoming releases for the following month in the field of Canadian history from every Canadian academic press, all in one place. This includes new books in both English and French. To see last month’s releases, click here.
In our Historian’s Toolkit series, we look in depth at one online resource that history professors can use to teach Canadian history. You can view other posts in this series by clicking here.
Have you ever wondered where I get the awesome pictures that I use in the Roundups? One of my favourite places is Fickr Commons, so in this edition of the Historian’s Toolkit we will be taking a closer look!
It’s often a challenge for Canadian historians to find good visuals for lectures, blog posts, or publications. One factor is the tremendous prevalence of American images online, which makes searching for purely Canadian content something of a nightmare. The other problem, especially for blog posts or publications, is that of copyright (though lecturers should also be considering this problem!). Many images that are available, either though digitized archival collections or museums, are still under copyright or you need to ask permission to use them.
Let’s face it – who has time to catch up on all the journal articles published in Canadian history? Most of the time, the latest journal issues sit in a pile on your bookshelf and gather dust or are socked away in a random file on your computer, never to be seen again. And it’s just as difficult to tell which articles are the most important. Thankfully, there is a solution to this problem. Anyone familiar with the beauty-blogging community knows that “monthly favourite” videos are one of the most popular regular features. So I’m going to apply the same basic principle to the latest journal articles!
