The MHSO established its Ethnic and Immigration History Series in the early 1980s. The series is composed of scholarly, in-depth works on a variety of subjects by noted historians such as Franc Sturino, Varpu Lindström, Lillian Petroff, and Robert F. Harney. Many of these works are deservedly well-regarded – for instance, Sojourners and Settlers received Heritage Toronto’s Award of Excellence in 1996 – and they have had a significant impact on mainstream Canadian historiography. The publications in the Ethnic and Immigration History Series are listed below. All can be accessed online through the Libraries and Cultural Resources Digital Collections of the University of Calgary.
