The Past Speaks

Last Friday, I sent out the following message on H-Canada.

To whom it may concern:

I am putting together a database of PhD and other graduate students who
are working on topics that deal with British North America/Canada 1815
to 1891. If you are interested in being included in this database,
please send me your name, thesis title, university, and the name of your
supervisor.

Je suis en train de créer une base de données des étudiants au
doctorat qui travaillent sur l’Amérique du Nord Britannique/Canada
durant la période 1815 À 1891. Si vous souhaitez être inclus dans ma
base de données, veuillez m’envoyer votre nom, le titre de votre thèse, votre
affiliation institutionnelle, et le nom de votre directeur.

Merci/Thanks,

Andrew Smith
