Across the border, a hidden half of United States history waits in Canadian reading rooms. Serious history starts with evidence. In this classic archival research guide, David W. Parker maps the rich veins of United States history sources preserved in public repositories from coast to coast, revealing Canada US historical documents that illuminate wars, treaties, trade, migration and everyday life. Conceived as a practical primary source guidebook, it signposts where primary sources for historians can be found within North American archival collections, and shows how the story of Canada United States relations is written not only in capitals, but in local records, private papers and institutional files scattered throughout the North American history archives. As a historical source reference and trusted reference book for historians, genealogists and research students, Parker's work remains an indispensable research tool for archivists and anyone tracing cross-border narratives. It captures a formative moment in professional historical enquiry, when scholars first began to think continentally about sources and to integrate Canadian archives United States holdings into a broader picture of the past. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Ideal for serious researchers yet welcoming to curious readers, this enduring guide stands as a beautifully produced heritage volume for both working libraries and private collections.
