The present volume aims to accomplish three goals. First, it contains references to the Canadian medical-historical literature published between 1984 and 1998. Second, it includes much material published prior to 1984 that was not discovered and thus not listed in the first volume. And lastly, it seeks to repair a deficiency in the first volume by substantially enlarging the content of French-language material. Thus the two volumes complement each other. Both are required for a full view of the scope of historical writings related to Canadian medicine. At the present time, no single electronic source can replace this bibliography. The largest of such sources, the bibliography of the history of medicine maintained as HISTLINE by the National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, Maryland, is limited with respect to Canadian medical history. This is true for several reasons. Although a large number of journals are used by the NLM, far more are excluded. To obtain the entries for Secondary Sources, an extremely large number of publications have been scanned, many of which are not primarily devoted to medical history and thus would not come within the scope of HISTLINE. Moreover, their coverage of French-language Canadiana is scanty. As described in the first edition, published in 1984, this work is presented as a bibliography of secondary sources in Canadian medical history. Each of these words deserves some explanation and definition . Bibliography: This is an enumerative bibliography without annotations. Since the material is in general not rare or difficult to find, no effort has been made to describe locations. Nor is it an elitist document in any way; the compilers have made no attempt to exclude ‘‘bad’’ history (whatever that might be), nor badly written history. The spectrum will be found to be extremely broad, accurately reflecting the historical and contemporary state of the discipline. The work is avowedly retrospective, every reasonable effort having been made to find older material, especially that predating the existing bibliographic tools—i.e., pre-1939. Secondary Sources: These are published sources that are written about events or persons. To be published , a work must be available to the public; included are books, book chapters, journal and magazine articles, pamphlets, brochures, and theses . Primary sources, both published and unpublished , are excluded. For example, the original papers by Banting et al. on their researches into insulin do not appear within these pages, although later retrospective considerations of these times and events, both by Banting and by Best, are included. Canadian: Here the intent has been to encompass everything that fits all the other criteria and that took place in what is now Canada, or what was once Canada, including New France, British North America, and the territories of the Hudson’s Bay Company (but expressly excluding the now U.S.A., a huge subject in its own right). In addition , activities of Canadians outside the country have been included where these activities are identifiably ‘‘Canadian’’: for example, military medical work in Europe in World War I and the medicalmissionary efforts of numerous individuals in Asia and Africa. The addition, for this volume, of the second compiler has resulted in a major expansion of the...
