HISTORY 201: The Historian's Craft: Crisis in Canada (Fall 2020) : Further Canadian Sources

Hansard Online is the digitized version of the Canadian equivalent to this country’s Congressional Record. It will prove very helpful in dealing with the debates surrounding the imposition of the War Measures Act.

Since the source consists of photoduplications of the hard-copy original, presented as two-page pdf files, it can be awkward to work with. This should not deter you from consulting this invaluable resource:

• Hansard Online

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is the Canadian version of the BBC, i.e. a government-funded independent broadcaster. As such, their records offer an excellent, though not always easily accessed trove of materials relevant to your research.

• CBC Archives
• October Crisis in CBC Archives
