A Life in History / La vie d'historien

In this new series of The Canadian Historical Review (CHR) prominent members of the historical profession in Canada who have recently retired have been invited to reflect upon their very distinguished careers. Among other things, they have been asked to look back and consider what led them to become historians. They will also discuss the changes and continuities they have witnessed over the years in their respective fields and offer readers their assessment of the present 'state of things.'  This new series will be a regular feature of CHR and will interest a wide group of readers and lead to a creative and stimulating dialogue about the practice of Canadian history, both within and outside of the academy.
The first articles in this informative new series - "Is History Another Word For Experience? Morton's Confessions" by Desmond Morton and "It was all about me - Making History Relevant" by Margaret Conrad - will be published in December 2011 (CHR 92/4).
