Step into Confederation-era Canada through the pages of a single indispensable volume. History sits in these pages. The Canadian Almanac and Repository of Useful Knowledge for the Year 1887 is a richly detailed 19th century reference book, capturing the young Dominion at a pivotal moment. Part Canadian statistical yearbook, part Canadian government directory, it gathers in one place the practical facts that shaped daily life: official listings, civic and institutional information, historical population statistics Canada, and trade and commerce data that reveal how the economy was growing and shifting across provinces and territories. Prepared for contemporaries who needed reliable facts at their fingertips, the 1887 Canadian almanac edition now serves as an unparalleled reference for history students, family historians pursuing Canadian genealogy research, and anyone curious about 1880s Canadian history in the decades after Confederation. More than a snapshot of dates and names, this historical almanac reprint preserves the texture of a nation in formation: patterns of settlement, political organisation, emerging industries, and the networks of government, business, education, and faith that stitched communities together. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it has been restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, it belongs in any historical almanacs collection, appealing equally to the casual reader browsing Canada's past and to the serious collector seeking an authentic primary source from the era.
