Contains authoritative biographical information about historical Canadian figures.

A joint initiative between the University of Toronto and the Université Laval, Dictionary of Canadian Biography provides authoritative biographical information about significant figures of Canada’s past. This resource includes detailed articles on Canada’s major historical figures, as well as short articles on minor personages who have hitherto found no place in reference works or general histories. Entries are recorded under family name, as opposed to title, maiden name, popular name, name in religion, etc.
